I regularly listen to two trunked P25 Systems.
I'm compiling UID's for one of them.
The system in question, uses a mutual aid TG so, different agencies use it.
To distinguish one agency from the other, I listen to their initial broadcast (when they Identify the agency name) I then take a note of their UID and add it, to my scanner.
I notice that, for any given agency, there's no single UID used.
Oftentimes, I can ID them, as they might use a UID already compiled for them, at others, it is a new number.
But every now and then, a new UID pops up whose number is sequential.
For example, Dispatch for agency "A", might have UID's in a series, like; 1050012, 1050013, 1050015, and then a new one, 1050016, pops up.
My questions are, what's the logic behind this?
Why would the system do this?
In my mind, I equal a UID, as a number given to a particular physical radio.
If so, I'm perplexed as to why this number changes when it comes down to dispatch radios.
