I've been scanning for a while. I have Bearcat 396XT portable scanner. WFD used to dispatch TGID 201. It seems like TGID 201 is still used for portale radios talking TO dispatch, but rarely for dispatch talking OUT. I've collected about a dozen other TGIDs, such as 2534, 2506, 2590, 2597 etc. They seem to be almost random. At first I thought it may have something to do with the station alerting system, or paging system, but that doesn't seem to be lining up. TONES for paging still go out on 201 but the actual dispatch notification goes out on these other channels, and they also seem to continue to broadcast on these channels for a significant duration of the call. I'm attempting to log them all, though reallistically I may just add anything that starts off with "25xx" into my scanner. I keep it on ID search for now because I never hear my dispatcher, but the down side is I get all the public works and parks and rec etc.
Anyone know how/why these channels are used and if it's documented anywhere which ones mean which?
Thanks!
