I probably understands the words he spoke but doesn't understand a darn thing he said.

That's why they're called "trunked" radios. They take up your whole trunk.
A summary of my notes. A couple people asked about this.

Jefferson Co. Site - TG 1921
Not sure who's using it but I think they have it labeled as "R2TAC4". The RIDs are the same series as all other Jefferson Co. radios.

That is also consistent with my notes on the regional TG series. 019nn would make it a Region 2 ("R2") TG, and I show:
0r915 = Region (r+1) Tac-1
0r917 = Region (r+1) Tac-2
0r919 = Region (r+1) Tac-3
0r921 = Region (r+1) Tac-4
0r917 = Region (r+1) Tac-2
0r919 = Region (r+1) Tac-3
0r921 = Region (r+1) Tac-4
Ergo, 01921 would be "Region-2 Tac-4" (R2TAC4).

Charles Town was using that TG the other night to set up a speed trap. I think Charles Town PD is going to be ones that play with their "new CBs". There's always one group like that everywhere.
Experts?
Regarding the wsaz report on the digital radios - I find it very interesting that the politician who was declared to be some kind of an expert on the subject just a few days ago - because he is a ham radio enthusiast - now admits he didn't know about the trouble fire departments have been having with the digital systems. One might have hoped that the pros and cons would have been studied before deciding on implementation.

The TG for the Berkeley Police is actually Martinsburg PD. That RID you have listed is actually on duty right now.
Wonder why they were on the other side of the state or was it patched for some reason.
a lot of testing on the Jefferson Co. site today. logged TGs 1501, 1507, 1523, 1541, 1542, 1543.

Taylor County received a grant for new "high band" radios.

Kenwood TK5810's shown on the video clip.
According to the story we should start seeing some activity in the next couple of weeks.

Mike, thanks for the information. I had tg 1507 plugged in and heard the testing, but did not have the other tgs in my receiver. Needless to say they are in now. On 1507 sometimes it would sound muddled and other times it came in loud and clear. It sounded much better today on the Jefferson site. I hope that is the way all of them wind up when they are finished. FWIW some of the tgs on the Berkely site have been almost unreadable, but today they seem mostly clear. (for now)
For the Berkeley Site, what freq sounded bad or was it all of them? I knew in the past, the transmitter for 453.75000MHz was going bad. It was fixed maybe a month after to started. They may have caught it when working on the Jefferson Co. site.
Also, is there a 2nd site for Jefferson Co? "insiderinfo" never did reply. He must be busy gathering inside info to "share" with us.

It's kinda late, however will do a further check "later today". Will post what I find. I do have the Jefferson site in the same bank with the Berkely site separated by a dummy freq as well as in it's own separate bank. Food for further, closer investigation. Am using a Pro-96. I tried attenuation and different antennae. The Berkely site almost comes in with no antenna. I also experiemented with an external speaker just in case the stock speaker couldn't hack the audio. The voice comes in kind of mushy and squeally, as best as can be described. Haven't heard any unit advise that another unit was "going digital" lately. Maybe they are used to it by now. Also, the WVSP came in perfectly clear on the Jefferson Site yesterday when they were testing.
On both my 996 and 396, the Berkeley Co. site sounds very good. Comparing it to the Loudoun Co. VA system, it sounds about the same. The WVSP have a few radios that seem to have low audio levels. I can even tell when it is a trooper on the BCSO TG just from the audio; it sounds the same on the Jefferson Co. site. In Bunker Hill area in Berkeley Co., I have good signal strength on both sites but the Jefferson Co. site is a little bit better.

While listening to the Jefferson site with the Pro-96 just now heard TG 1501 on JC System and it was Jefferson County Fire as evidenced by the co-reception on the Pro-97 on that channel. I hope it stays that way. In reference to my previous post on on "noise", I programmed EVERY frequency listed in the DB for the Berkeley County system and the noise has all but disappeared, at least for now. The scanner stops on various freqs not listed as control and alternate. So far so good anyway.

I get that at work with the Loudoun Co. VA system. I think its the dozen or so computers in my cube. I found a "sweet" spot where it doesn't happen. Does it do it while in the car or outside?
