They are on Davidson County Events 2.. for now.. I speculate this is temporary until Thomasville PD get their own Talkgroup and following the theme it will probably be Encrypted.
I see that some new Davidson County TGs were just added to the database, including a new Davidson County Fire Dispatch TG and EMS Dispatch TG. I was curious as to how these new TGs differ from the existing fire and EMS dispatch TGs.

As of today, they are still dispatching on their original talk groups.
The 2 talkgroups repeat dispatch from time to time randomly it seems
15042 EMS dispatch
15041 county fire dispatch
I always have the analog patches going on my old scanners.
It appears it's by station number the tacs probably for local use and small incidents.
Maybe just maybe no more traffic control on the tacs.

I'm hoping someone in the know can update the Davidson County Fire/EMS TGs. It sounds like since moving over to VIPER, maybe TG 15041 is Thomasville Fire Dispatch? Or at least TGs 15001, 15002, 15041, 15042 are patched together frequently in the past few days.
Also, Badin Lake FD had a hazmat call yesterday and was talking with Montgomery EM on TG 31518. I'm not sure if this is a TAC channel for Badin Lake or Mongomery EM, but most of the operation was on what was still called Davidson TAC 1 (TG 15016) with Healing Springs (Davidson County Station 48).

During the storms the other day, I heard Griffith Fire on the WS/FC P25 system talking about needing to monitor "Davidson 35 TAC." They also mentioned that 35 TAC was the "old TAC 1" (presumably TG 15016, although I did not check) and is their storm protocol channel. They said it is used by Midway, Gumtree, and Griffith. Seems like Davidson might be reworking their talkgroups.
I thought I heard something along those lines as well. My guess is not everyone has their radios reprogrammed yet, so that might be why TAC 1 was assigned to Badin Lake and Healing Springs.
Yes maybe for Thomasville
Or in the interim being used for testing elocution voice dispatch (the system Guilford county uses).
Usually they use events 1 for random radio testing.
Also and we all know it.. Thomasville Police will eventually go somewhere off of events 2 and be encrypted again. Side note southern police agencies love to speak fast for no reason and love to talk and those 10 codes are like an episode of Chips.
Just not used to all that from being up north.
Rowan county is sort of the same way with police but seems more plain English.
Update it seems as of Monday when a Davidson County, NC Viper Volunteer Dept gets toned out, they get assigned A number tac that corresponds with their station. Example Station 91/92 Silver Valley uses Tac 91.
It appears Thomasville Fire is currently dispatched and toned on Davidson County Fire Dispatch and is using the Guilford County Thomasville Tac channels for now for in city operations.
Has anyone in Brusnwick or NHC picked up any TDMA traffic yet?
I am still hearing most traffic on FDMA, and not getting anything on TDMA. I am listening to Brunswick Co but on the tower out of NHC. I am using SDRTrunk and I just want to determine if this is a configuration issue on my end, or if the area is still only using FDMA.

80-90 percent of traffic I'm seeing is still FDMA, it is a slow change over with equipment and programming.
Thanks! My TDMA channels are wierd in SDRTrunk so I am not sure if they are working. I will just assume that most of the traffic here isn't cut over yet.

I’m a subscriber but I’m not logged in right now and I can still see it. The Watauga Democrat hasn’t had a paywall in the past. I think you just have to disable your ad blocker.
Thank you, that worked.
I see the same thing. In Elizabeth City everything is FDMA. Camden County SO is the TDMA. The HP is running mixed.
