Yesterday about 1:38PM, I caught TG 9964 on the Berkeley site. I was not able to make out what the male said, but the female said "I don't want to talk to you right now". That was all I got.

09964 = WV: DHHR: OEHS Ch-3, I think... [OEHS = Office of Environmental Health Services.]

All...I'd like to add 1935 into the DB for Jefferson County. How should I categorize it? Jefferson County 911-EOC? I guess I'll add it with the other 1900 series TG's?

"Jefferson County 911/EOC" is as good as any I could have come up with. [FYI, about an hour after I posted here the other day for the eastern panhandle users to keep an ear out for that TG, I heard a Jefferson Co sheriff's deputy calling Jeff 911 on it from the academy here in Charleston! He called it the "Jefferson County Service Channel", but I suspect that's more the result of local usage than its "official" name. Until we hear the other 0r9xx 911 TGs being called similarly, I'd stick with "xxxxx County 911/EOC".

As for where to put it, it kinda sorta belongs in two categories... It's a Jefferson Co TG, so on one hand it might go with the other Jefferson Co 911/EOC-ish TGs. But perhaps more importantly, it's an interoperability TG, so I'd think all of the 0r9xx TGs deserve separate categories, perhaps by region. E.g., put all of the 009xx TGs together in a "Region 1 Interoperability" category, the 019xx TGs in "Region 2 Interoperability", etc.

Also, I wouldn't have put the 098xx Medbase TGs into Jefferson county's table. In fact, I wouldn't ever put a TG other than a 0ccxx TG into county cc's table. So only 01500-01599 should go in any Jefferson County category. There are a couple examples of this. E.g., the 09821-09829 Medbase channels are in the Berkeley and Jefferson Co tables. 09983 (City Hospital) is in Berkeley Co. 09979 (United Hospital Center) is in Harrison Co. And 09801-09809 (WESCOM [Parkersburg medbase]) is in the Wood Co. table. I think these all deserve separate categories of their own, since they're not really associated with any one county (i.e., any medic in any county that needs to talk to City Hospital can flip to 09983, etc.). Perhaps all of the 099xx hospital-specific TGs belong in one table. And all of the 098xx medbase TGs belong in a separate table.

My $0.02...

If anyone sees anything from RIDs from 009000-009100, I'd like to know what you hear or see (e.g., any audio you might have heard, and what TGs they used or affiliated with). Thanks.

9000 range or 90000 range? My lowest is 10205. I do have 3 on the 90000 range.


RIDs that is.

That is consistent with a transmission I heard on 9964 - Environmental 1 to Kearneysville Base. They did a radio check and that was the extent of the traffic.

At first, I made a mistake and was looking at the 90000 RIDs. I have seen nothing below 10000 on the Berkeley or Jefferson sites.

I've seen a number of these radios affiliate with tower 109. From what I've observed, there is one per county. My guess is that they are either spread out across the various EOCs (perhaps a la the NAWAS phones, reserved for contact with the State EOC), or there is a mountain of 55 radios in the capitol somewhere (for the opposite use). We'll see...

Jefferson Co - TG 1523

JCSO was looking for a suspect in a robbery. One deputy asked another to go to Channel 9, "our private". Encrypted traffic was then heard on TG 1523. Thought I would pass this on in case anyone else hears that called called that.

I'm reminded of the story that a fellow I used to know told of how a member of a local PD arrived on the scene to support another local PD's operation and asked, "What frequency are you using?", to which the answer was given, "Frequency 1." You can imagine the ensuing conversation, trying to figure out how come department A's officer couldn't talk to department B's officer, even though it was clear that they were both on "Frequency 1." I guess they should have used Frequency 9.

I guess they could always get someone on channel 19. :)

That's why they are supposed to use the talkgroup name; so that there isn't confusion over what channel they should go to. Isn't that what NIMS is about - plain language?

Berkeley co. - TG 1931

I've been seeing TG 1931 pop up on the Berkeley Co. site but have yet to actually hear anything. Also had one hit on the 996T with ProScan but it recorded nothing. Looking at UniTrunker, over the past 20 mins or so, it's been the same RID of 130001 on this TG.
