Just heard Charleston call Berkeley Co. dispatch on TG 1927 for a radio test. Berkeley kind of sounded "off freq" (yeah, I know its not that but just what it sounded like).

Funny... I heard that, too, but from the Charleston end (it was Charleston 408, the Charleston EMS shift commander, showing off one of his shiny new IRP radios). And I though the same thing: "He's off frequency! Oh.. no.. wait..."

just heard encrypted traffic on TG 8003 from the Berkeley Co. site.
I'm gonna go back thru the thread this weekend and make sure I've culled eveything... But so far, I've personally logged hits on, or I have an entry in my database from other people here logging hits on, a total of 338 talkgroups. Anybody have more? Lots of them I have only guesses what they're for. Many are from where somebody gets a new radio and keys their mic on every channel. [I think SP Troop-0 got their radios this week; whoever it was went thru and keyed their mic on just about every odd 90xx (SP) talkgroup.]
Thanks to Uniden's odd decision to cut me off at 250 T/Gs, I've had to split the system into "North" and "South" banks... Arg.

Don't you love that...I've ran into that as well.
I've actually divided my 996 into seven regions - though I'm afraid that eventually they will have to be split into smaller ones - for instance, my "Central" currently includes Kanawha and surrounding counties, including Cabell. Figger that one will fill up pretty quick, once things start picking up around here...
Thanks again, Uniden!

I have been gettin 9069 during the nights for that last several nights but it is enc. everytime. Further note they still having problems with East River tower.

Tg 5933
5933 is McDowell County Police. I also heard them talking about getting another tower up and running from the area next week when AEP can get power to it. They said it would not be till Wensday, so look for Logan tower to run then.

Unless somebody heard it called that by name, I think we'll find that 05933 is not McDowell PD Dispatch, but a Region 6 interop channel. I heard them using it today (or was it yesterday...? can't remember), but I think they were on it for some other reason. Someone posted earlier that McDowell Co. will be 054xx, so if they follow the pattern other counties have followed, McDowell PD Dispatch should be 05407.
I have heard them several times and days calling and saying McDowell County on this 5933 at traffic stops and for calls to dispatch and of course other non related chat from time to time. Mostly during the night if I hear anything (might be cause of I only listen to it in the night time). Also the area’s giving is also in McDowell County when on these calls. I have read one of your posting and I can see your logic’s for the x9xx numbers. I only posted as McDowell County Police, not sure if someone else or someone thought that it might be Dispatch. I did not submit it that way. If I can get a chance to stay at work during a week-in night the next time I will setup to get the audio for everyone. For now I will keep any new info to myself.

I've been hearing 5933 on Bolt for a few days now... I recognized the locations from the time I've spent down there at numerous mine sites, and I have to agree with Ron, it is probably not the TG that MACdowell (as they say down there) will eventually be using - kind of like all the traffic from Lincoln county that has been on 4931, yet we know that the actual Lincoln TGs will be in the 4300 series.
Jeffrey, as I said in an earler post, there is nothing wrong with sharing contacts on the forum -and you're right, there should probably be more of it (the guys in the eastern panhandle are great about that) - but a lot of us feel that to wait and be as accurate as possible before posting to the database is better than doing a posting to the database that later turns out to be inaccurate. Case in point - we know that Radio Service uses TG 1 (and rarely TG 3) - yet, note the other TGs that have been posted as RM TGs, that we now know are Med, OES, and other Various County channels.
I'm not trying to be a know-it-all or put other posters down - on the contrary, I think everyone here does a great job, though we may have our own ideas and ways of posting and doing things that others may look askance at - (even things as simple as the different ways we set up our scanners) - which is how a forum like this should be. There should never be a reason for any of us to feel hurt, snubbed, ticked off or get into a forum war with anyone else... (Which has unfortunately happened a few times...)
Just my two cents worth from up the holler...

Looks like counties around Mingo County is getting on board, anybody heard anything about Mingo County?

Jeffrey,
I certainly didn't mean to suggest that I don't appreciate your info; without you all "down thar", the group wouldn't be able to keep tabs on the southern T/Gs. Exactly the opposite is true: The more we hear from everyone, the better off the database will be, and we can always sort it out in the end. In fact, knowing that McDowell PD is using 05933 is good info, because if it turns out to be a regional T/G, it shows that they're following the pattern (and if not, it shows that I need to rethink things!). Like I noted, I've listened to 05933 myself, and McDowell PD definitely HAS been using it to dispatch units, so you're correct. I was just betting that I don't think they'll stay there. (I heard a unit the other day say that he was going back to "the other channel"; I wasn't sure if he meant highband or an 054xx T/G).
So keep us up to date, if they switch to an 054xx T/G, etc. When they talk on anything other than 05933, it's not rebroadcast on 0109 or 0116 (the fact that somebody in Charleston has affiliated with tower 0109 and is monitoring 05933 might weigh in on it being a regional channel), so I can't hear it up here (although the Workman's Knob tower does pretty well; I wonder if they hit it down there...). Thanks for the southern reports.
...Rob
PS Off topic... I was in Beckley the other day, and I heard a local muni PD using 155.7450 simplex as a talkaround (it's Kanawha Co. Fire F-2, so my radio happened to stop on it). Any idea who that was?

does anyone know anything about the new tower build in mason co. Our 911 director has one radio at 911 that will talk on the system, but i dont know what talk group or freq they are using, because the 11 uhf repeaters that we use in mason co are not linked to the new inter-op tower.
I don't see anything in the licenses for Mason County. If you can, scan 453.0000 - 453.9875 and 460.0000 - 460.7000 or so for the control channel (accurately, I think, described by a non-radioing friend as the same noise that a diesel tractor makes while idling in the truck-stop parking lot!). It'll likely be in there somewhere.

just heard what sounded like someone keying a mic on TG 9135 off the North Mtn. site. Looking back, also got a hit on TG 9126.
EDIT: Around 6:35PM, I heard on TG 927, Harper's Ferry call and talk with Harrison Co. in reference to a wreck involving one of their cruisers on either I81 or I64 around the Roanoke, Va exit. They asked for a direct number and were done. Not sure what it was all about.

Looking at patterns again... it looks like the medical command centers are using:
where b is the particular center:
and n is the channel:
E.g., 09825 is Berkeley Med-C. Someone once mentioned that there would eventually be a Med-F, but I've not heard it mentioned on the air yet.
Also... I logged a hit at tower 0109 on T/G 36661. Anyone ever see one like that before?
...R
098bn
where b is the particular center:
0 = ?
1 = ?
2 = Berkeley Medcomm
3 = Charleston Medbase
4 = Huntington Medbase
5 = ?
6 = ?
7 = ?
1 = ?
2 = Berkeley Medcomm
3 = Charleston Medbase
4 = Huntington Medbase
5 = ?
6 = ?
7 = ?
and n is the channel:
1 = Med-A
3 = Med-B
5 = Med-C
7 = Med-D
9 = Med-E
3 = Med-B
5 = Med-C

On another note... I think State Police Troop-0 Executive Protection is using:
They are -- of course -- spending 100% of their time on F-2, so sounds like no more listening to them...
...R
09209 = F-1
09211 = F-2 [full-time encryption]
09213 = F-3
09215 = F-4
09211 = F-2 [full-time encryption]
09213 = F-3
09215 = F-4

I threw that out in the group a while back. I had notice when it had flashed up it tend to be on another tower shortly after. In all that I would get the freq. assign went to 770.xxxx They were another T/G that had some 9's in it would also do that. The other thing I had notice was the TEC would get on the radio sometime after and start his opening talk as if someone had paged him.
Mind in a blank right now what would be the olds of the missing Hospital was in ABC order?
Its kinda cool I can hear from time to time 9825 traffic like if somone if flipping thru the t/g on the radio.
