SDRTrunk Using aliases based on Talkgroups and ranges of Radio IDs at the same time?

[leicanthrope]

I'm monitoring a local P25 system, with a playlist based on individual talkgroups (some muted, some not) with a wildcard alias to track and record undocumented talkgroups. Everything is working fine with that portion of it.

I've since started to keep track of the radio IDs used by the different agencies. Is there a way to set it up so that additional aliases are created based on ranges of radio IDs (i.e. 1234500-1234599 for agency one, etc.), that are independent of whether a given talkgroup is toggled to listen or mute? Essentially so that they're just there for cosmetic purposes. When I tried it with these radio ID range aliases set to default, it seemed to cause a conflict and I'd just get little snippets of audio here and there.

Tracking rid's, in my opinion is a never ending deal. If your new to tracking rid's, you may notice that over time, rid's you may have labeled as police, may at some point need to be changed because as it seems (on my systems) repaired radios will show up where ever needed when they go back in service. A radio that I had tagged as a transit bus last week, today is in the hands of a police officer. And a radio that was used 3 weeks ago by the sheriffs dept. is now being used in an ambulance. I have close to 6000 rid's tagged on my SmartZone system and about just over 4000 on the P25 side.

So far I've only just barely dipped my toes into it with this one system, so not exactly a huge sample set. At least in terms of the first four or five digits of the talkgroup ID, this system seems to be consistent about keeping it within the same agency. It might help that it's a countywide system with county agencies and independent cities, instead of a more centralized citywide system.

I'm not sure if I've got the patience to tag too many individual users anyhow. I'm mostly just using this as a tool to provide a bit of context towards IDing mystery talkgroups, in lieu of those wonderful "Hey idiot, you're on the wrong channel. This is XYZ channel." transmissions.

I use Sdrtrunk, Unitrunker and Trunking recorder. Tr does all the recording. I have it set to keep 20 days worth of recordings. When you see a rid pop up somewhere, you can search it in trunking recorder and see what tg's that radio communicated on, as long as they were set to record.

I only go and put aliases in for obviously static unit IDs (console positions/consolettes, command vehicles, high profile vehicles, one-offs...) as those are less likely to change. Fleet assigned units like mobiles & portables I don't bother with.
