That should help narrow it down. CFR alerts are given out on LE Disp, OPS Dips, and ES Disp at the same time.

Reviewing my audio I think TG 47387 is actually ES Dispatch and not Operations. CFR 3 and CFR10 both key up on that talkgroup and refer to it as such.

The wiki page for Raleigh Police Monitoring has been updated, this wiki includes some new unverified TGs for the P25 system that are not in the database. By unverified I mean I know what they are being used for, but can't confirm due to lack of traffic or encryption.

How? I keep updating mine but to no avail. I created all new favorite groups but I still get no audio. Would appreciate any assistance.
First, I have the Uniden BCD536HP scanner. Not sure what scanner you have. I updated the firmware and then the Master Database(HPDB). Then, wrote HPDB to the scanner and deleted the old Favorites List during the "write". The updated HPDB contains most if not all of these latest changes. Specifically, click (i.e. expand) the USA in the HPDB and then expand North Carolina. Next, expand Wake. You should see Nationwide, Statewide, and County Systems listed under Wake. Then, expand Cary/Wake P25. You should see Cary Fire, Cary Mutual, Cary Police, etc.. Yes, Cary Police is listed and seems correct even though they are encrypted now.

As a first step, I started "ID searching" on the scanner using the new HPDB and stopped when something triggered North Carolina VIPER. I locked the SYSTEM to NC VIPER and then began getting hits on NC SHP and others.

From here I created a new Favorites List and have updated the scanner with these new lists. I'm scanning ONLY the Favorites Lists now. Hope this helps!

For those interested, I am seeing Unknown TGIDs on North Carolina VIPER.

Unknow TGIDs:
TGID: 51542
TGID: 52473

RDU OPS DISP 47387
RDU OPS 2 47388
RDU A TO F 47381 TO 47386
RDU LE DISP 47390

UNKNOWN RDU 47380, 47389, 47391 TO 47395, 47499 (Please post here if you figure these out)

Radio IDs for RDU are in the 1849000 to 1849999 range.

So, did RDU so get changed to the new system, and thus all freqs and TGs need reprogramming? < Is that a duh, question?

Anyone know what is with the Busy Signals? I used to hear it on the previous system, hearing it on the new one now.
What is it? Should I just skip that channel when it happens? Oh, and anyone know if Wake Forest still uses those VHF frequencies?

RDU is on the new system, monitored an aircraft emergency a few days ago, have not figured out the usage for all TGs but have identified many of them.

If you have one of the newer Whistlers, GRE or PRO668 you probably have the encrypted audio set to tone.

Quick update re: my Pro-106 and P25:

It doesn't work.

I am now listening, with no issues, to my new SDS-100 as suggested by the forum. I'm still dialing it in to my liking. I resisted the urge to take a hammer to it a few times. But old dog/new tricks and all that stuff.

Thanks to everyone for the advice and wisdom.

Im following along and want to help identify changes. I have a SDS100 and live in Wake Forest, how can i assist ?

New to the digital stuff.
I also live in Wake Forest, I use a Unication G5 Pager/Scanner. Have you been able to filter to receive just Wake Forest Fire and EMS assigned to Wake Forest? I would like to be able to do that on my radio, but think I need more information on how to do that, any suggestions?

THANKS,

KE4GYN

Sadly you can't just listen to wake forests' traffic. Wake Forest FD and Wake EMS are both considered "county" assets.

In terms of dispatch/alerting,
Wake Forest Fire and Wake County EMS don't have their own separate channels. For fire, you'd need to listen to WakeFD Dispatch/Alert, but that also means you'd get every other county/municipal department in Wake County like Knightdale, Garner, etc. Same for EMS, there is only one EMS alert channel and 1 main dispatch for the whole county, EMS could send any unit from anywhere to any call. Wake Forest FD and wake EMS have their own pager frequencies for station tones which aren't listed on the database, and you'd have to find yourself to hear their call pages only.

For incident traffic, you want the OPS channels and the TAC channels. These are shared across the county for all fire/ems units and not every call gets one. But if you hear the Fire/EMS alert for a Wake Forest call, it will tell you what channel that incident will be on. Multi-Agency Calls (Med calls with fire units, Structure Fires, any larger incident) will be on PS TAC channels (13-39 in wake county). Fire only calls (Fire alarms, gas leaks, etc.) will be on FD OPS channels (1-12).

Hope this helps, feel free to reach out for clarification.
