Just caught Martinsburg Fire Dept on TG 1163. I guess he had the wrong "channel" 'cause about 10 seconds later repeating himself on TG 1103.

I went back to some old data to see if I had logged TG 1163 in the past (I hadn't). I did however find some TGs that either I only heard once or twice and haven't recently. Does anyone have TGs that were only logged a few time and never IDed?
here's what I have off of North Mountain Site:
1027
8003
917
1921
9839
9989
1159
1179
1997 - I know it's wrong, but I have it as Berkeley Co. Sheriff's Dept Private
1199
1915
8023 - encrypted
1191
1113 - I have it as FD or EMS (not sure what Co.)
903
997
1903
1907
also, has anyone really heard anything on TG 8021 - Detectives (Berkeley Co). AND, in the database, TG 903 is listed as Radio Techs and Regional Med Com.

If my guesses are correct,
09839 = Charleston Medbase MED-E
09989 = some hospital
Also, it's been my observation that the 0r9nn talkgroups where r is 0 through 7 correspond to interoperability / regional channels for region r+1. So, e.g., 009nn TGs (r=0) are Region 1 interop, through 079nn TGs (r=7) for Region 8. I don't know what the regions are exactly, but you can get a rough geographical idea (1 = MARI, MONO, HARR; 2 = JEFF, BERK; 5 = CABE, LINC; 7 = KANA). Perhaps 3 is eastern counties, 4 is southern counties, 6 is northwestern counties, 8 is ??
Specifically, I've heard traffic on:
- 0r901
- 0r903
- 0r907 = EMA?
- 0r911 = 911 interop?
- 0r913 = Hospital?
- 0r915 = Tac-1?
- 0r917 = Tac-2?
- 0r927
- 0r929
- 0r931
- 0r951 = OES?
- 0r997
Of your list, these would fall into that -- if it's correct:
- 00903 = Region 1
- 00917 = Region 1 Tac-2
- 00997
- 01903
- 01907 = Region 2 EMA
- 01915 = Region 2 Tac-1

Not it. [Not even close.] IRP Reg. 1 = HARR, MARI, MONO, etc., but those counties are in EMS Reg. 6/7. IRP Reg. 6 = CABE, LINC, etc., but those counties are in EMS Reg. 2. Perhaps the counties somehow are divided up according to the old EMS regions, but the #'s certainly aren't the same.
FYI, I think we can safely delete the (very old) TG #851 hit in the database as not being Kanawha County.

Tg 1153
North Mountain Site:
It's labeled as Sheriff's Alternate, but it sounds like a fire operation right now. Not sure where or what.
It's in line for TAC11, if TG 1151 is TAC10.
Edit: it sounds to be Company 60 doing training

About talk group 903 on North Mountain. When the system was testing in spring of 2006, a tech asked an EMS unit to go "regional med com" and that's the TG that showed up. I submitted it, probally before the system went live. I never heard anymore on that TG. Most likely the 903 reference as "regional med com" can be removed from the database.

Database update??
I have seen in some posting over time that mention some TG but never made it to the database. This is what I seen in Kanawha County thru the forum.
6172 Kanawha County Tac-2
6173 Kanawha County Tac-3

It might, hopefully they are several patterns to the TG or give others for other county an ideal what can be expected. If everyone would post the TG they have ie.. 6150 and did not know it was EMS but did know it belong to Kanawha County at least post that much. Who ever put in Lincoln County, if the had the actual hit on them is going the right way.me714 said:You know, I guess at some point in time, we're gonna have to start posting some of this Kanawha stuff to the database...
Jeffery Smith
The main reason we (those of us in the CRW area) haven't been posting ID's is because, while a pattern seems to be developing, for the most part, we haven't been able to confirm the actual usage - and, we'd much rather wait and be accurate than have incorrect information posted that just confuses everyone - (especially me!!!)
Bluefield Site
To give a heads up I have been picking up traffic on the Bluefield site. However, I haven’t got close enough to scan it as a system. I can hear someone talking on it as a conventional channel P25. I did hear TEC 1 and Mercer 1 on ID1 talking about that controller board problem earlier last week. Since then I have started to get traffic of this site. I’m going to guess Mercer Co. is up and running from this. The week they was pose to go hot with it is when they had first talked about the controller board not working.
Now I got to try to remember that sweet spot that I could pickup that tower here in Beckley.

Better Communication
Staff
Charleston
The state Office of Homeland Security says there's better emergency communication on the way to Randolph and surrounding counties. The office presented interoperable radios to county officials during a ceremony Monday morning.
The state is spending millions of dollars to complete an initiative that it hopes will one day enable all emergency agencies in the state the ability to communicate, no matter where they are located.
Deputy Cabinet Secretary Joe Thornton says a 240-foot communications tower was recently completed in Randolph County, the first of several planned for the sprawling region.
Thornton says 23 towers have been erected so far across the state, with eight currently under construction. He says 2008 will also be a busy year.
"We expect to do about 20 new towers next year," he said. "What we're trying to do is close that gap from the eastern panhandle all the way to Mingo County.
Thornton says Hurricane Katrina showed first responders the importance of cross-agency communication.
"It taught us a lesson," he said. "Communication is the key to success and if you don't have them you're going to fail."

1179 - Berkeley Co.
caught some traffic on TG1179. someone was calling the Assessor's office. I think this might be their second channel, and would make sense since 1177 is what they usually use.

Morgan County
I see Morgan County will join the UHF statewide system. For the last several years it has operated on several bands and a variety of freqs.
According to data from the FCC, system was aproved a few days ago.
http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=2961064
Data is already in the RR database for the WV statewide system, but clicking the ID gets "no information found". Also no map of it yet.
http://radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&action=siteInfo&sid=4076&site_num=1022&d=
Perhaps by the end of next year I'll be able to listen to more from there than I can now.

Picked up on Ghent tower today 5400's and 5900's. I heard them saying test and went from one tg to another when it was keyed someone would say ok. I have heard over the few days McDowel, Wyoming, and Mercer Co. but where here at my home the signal is very week and most time I can not get it strong enough to decode the signal.
My bet is the 5900s were likely regional TGs. But the 5400s would be a county's units. Any scoop from the traffic which county? Raleigh? Did you happen to log the TG #s?
My log shows... Any input?
I only got one on Bluefield site and that was 5407
McComas I had got
9037 got this one about 2 weeks ago
5409
5411
5933
Ghent
9035 Got this about 2 weeks ago
9223 Got this about 2 weeks ago
6927 Got last week Only traffic was Kanawha Co. 604
5401
5405
5407
5412
5433
5435 I heard Tac 2
5437 I heard Tac 3
5451
5927
5933 I hear this unit said he could be reach on new radio or the old county law channel.
5937
5941 I did not hear it all but did hear them saying Wyoming
Kopperston
9019 Got this about 2 weeks ago
9069 Got this about 2 weeks ago
5933
All the 5400 and 5900 was caught today and just trying to quick save it to the scanner at the time. I had also set the freq. as conventional since I can not get a good copy of the control channel. I had a wave file the officer was calling McDowell County and got what appears to be a responds for the officer. I order an amp to put on the antenna I hope it works out for me. I know Raleigh Co. is not running yet. I did see where they are still going to put up a tower at the Hospital. I know these tower as of now is not covering that well from Spruce Mt. and to the west of the county. Officer here very depend on Spruce tower to work when they cross the mountain. Tams, Ivy, Kopperston will not cut it over that area.
Tuesday while leaving Charleston I had got some flash up that was already posted except 6933.
While I’m on the posting I looked back on my scanner settings and found that I have a band plan in on my scanner from McDowell County. I was down in Pineville 3 weeks ago but the rough roads I was not able to look down on the scanner. However the band plan is only placed on its own when it reads the data from the control channel.

If they follow the more or less standard plan, look for the following to be:
5401 - Fire
5405 - Fire or EMS
5407 - Sheriff Dispatch
5409 - Municipal PD (County Seat)
5411 - Municipal PD (Next largest City)
5433 - County Tac 1
5435 - County Tac 2
5437 - County Tac 3
5451 - EMS or EOC.
It's not cast in stone (ie: some of the Kanawha County TG's, for instance), but most counties pretty much follow this order.

Found Welch here from Beckley. Does anyone else used a antenna amp?
I tried one and from here on Harper Rd Beckley lastnight I could get Boone Co, Malden, Welch, McComa, of course Ghent, and Kopperston when I had it crank up to 20db and a fresh battery. I was not able to set and monitor for traffic other then looking at the signal with the dat displayed on it. I did try it on a mot 2 uhf p-25 system at home that I was having problems in picking up and was able to hear that system very well with error rates low to 3-19 and without it I was barley breaking squelch without it.
