Wondering if anyone may have a populated list of Radio Unit IDs for the APPSN system. Anything helps!

I have a bit myself (a bit more than what's below), but wondering if anyone else has a list as well to either confirm my list, or add what I don't have.

(I'm actually missing quite a bit of HFX Fire Unit IDs actually, unlike the table shows)

Fire Dispatch 11067
Fire Dispatch 21068
Fire Dispatch 31069
Fire Dispatch 41070
Mutual Aid Dispatch1001
Engine 237029
Engine 430412
Engine 636012
5 Quint37060, 30572
7 Quint37052

.... And so forth

I would like to get the rest of Fire, Public Works, GSAR, and anything else interesting, or frankly anything else.. It really makes a world of difference scanning because when you listen in, there's no guessing, you already know who's speaking based on the Unit ID.

Thank you, happy scanning to all.
Have a great day

Bare in mind that large fleets such as HRM routinely re-locate/re-assign vehicles as necessary..
As such the i.d.s numbers for "3-Engine" for example; can change without notice.
Especially when spare units are placed in-services.
Having said that what does remain constant are the portable radio I.d.s as those stayl with the "crew".
Example 30311 =
3
03 - Station
1 - Apparatus Type (Engine)
1 - Driver/Operator

30312 - Officer
30113 - Firefighter
30114 - Firefighter

I was wondering about that!

Thank you for clearing that up.

My quick solution to that was to identify all IDs to the same apparatus (ex Engine 3) and number them #1, 2, 3, etc.

Something else to consider.
Several years ago I experiment with keeping a list of unit id's, but I found it difficult to keep up with the apparatus movements.

I also tried programing the id's into my scanner, a 996XT at the time. It seemed (to me) that the scanner was taking longer to scan since it was checking for both the talkgroups and unit id's. I'm basing this notion from using a 996T with the identical programming along side the XT. The XT was missing radio transmissions.
