I wouldn't bother reporting these unless you can confirm voice traffic. Most of these are probably test groups being used to test the system and are not ultimately valid.

Wasn't a Tom unit, was it?

unitrunker is showing alt control channels for site 156 as 772.50625 and 774.65625
Sure sounded like it. The transmission caught me off guard and I didn't get a recording so I'll try and confirm ASAP.

Tom units are normally on WSP main dispatch channels...
I'm wondering if this is gonna be new SOP, or they're testing something out ie a patch.
I think it'd be ridiculous to set up a wide area P2 system just for DOT when it can easily handle WSP traffic as well.

also testing on 60662
60661-60669 have been used for automated testing in recent months.
Current TGID update -- confirmed voice on these channels:
60001 - Encryption
60100 - (Chat related to 60102)
60102 - Seattle Traffic (I-5) (basically these are the TOM units on WSP -- but only use number callsigns. A few work the main I-5 freeway and one is assigned to express lanes.)
60130 - Security (but not sure where exactly) -- just heard encryption today but it's mostly in the clear
60150 - (Random chat)
60850 - WSF Ferry Operations - Primary
60851 - WSF Ferry Operations - Secondary
There's another one I'm spacing at the moment. 60x00 which is the "shop" but not sure of exact location. It definitely is in King County.
PS. Lot of activity today due to high winds. Apparently a tree fell down onto 520 blocking traffic in some lanes. Also a tree down on 405. I'll post recordings later tonight.

Is this activity on S42?
Just hearing testing down here in the South Sound (Thanks to nr158 for the heads up)
Need to get SDRTrunk fired up to monitor around the clock.
No if it had been site specific I would have mentioned that. The ferry activity is mostly from S38 and most of the non-ferry traffic has been from S73 but I'm not really watching for that any more.
TGID 60100 is "Shop" (I seem to hear the Radio Techs on this channel)
TGID 60120 (from Site 38 report of tree down)
TGID 60150 is "Yard Ops"
Instead of posting individual recordings here's the whole lot from today: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ej5chkf23rvz2a9/WSDOT-10.13.2020.zip?raw=1
FYI, you can clearly hear the audio differences when they're piping in audio from the older system. I presume that's just temporary until they do the full cutover later this year...
