Unknown Channel in ISICS

[OliverPhillips]

I am using my Uniden BCD436HP scanner to monitor the Hamilton County ISICS Simulcast system, and the Story County SARA Simulcast system. In my Story County favorites list, I have 2 sites, the SARA story county Simulcast site, and the ISICS Woodward/Ames simulcast. In my Hamilton County favorites list, I have only the 1 site, Hamilton County Simulcast. Today, I picked up a unknown TGID number 18518, which I can not find anywhere in the ISICS database, or the SARA database. Sometimes it is linked with another another TGID, which I haven't been fast enough to write down. It sounds like it could EMS/Fire talk, but I'm not quite sure. Just wanted to know if anyone has any idea what it could be. Thanks!

I live in Lehigh. I don't get Boone reception very reliably. But I will put the TGID in and see if I can pick it up.

It is probably going to be a Boone County TG. When they were planning out the original TGID's this one falls between the allocation for secondary roads and the landfill. May not be a public safety talkgroup at all but rather some other department that doesn't use their ISICS radios very often or did get ISICS radios until very recently.

Fwiw in past years I've seen this talk group used for Stadium EMS at the Iowa State Football games.

Just confirmed that 18518 is in use today on SARA System by EMS for medical calls at the Iowa State game and ambulance transport to the hospital.

Ok cool, thanks for the information! I was just playing around with my scanner and was curious what that tgid was. Thanks, and have a great day!

Keep in mind that SARA is not ISICS. They are two separate systems.
