Does anyone know the location of site 126? Ridge (127) is reporting it as a neighbor.

Looks like we are on hunt for site 126. For it being a neighbor.... lets say the tower between Beckley and Bluefiled southern part of the state reports as a neighbor is Berkley, which is in the northern panhandle.

site 126

Looking over my log I have notice that I had also pickup site 126 once at 3:07 pm today. This would be the Ghent tower reporting it. This is also the same tower that reports on Berkley as well.

Got bored and dusted off my radio... County 41 is definitely Cabell; heard them on today. Interestingly enough, Cabell Dispatch's radio has a RID of 0-040-1-0-01 (county 40). This is the first hit I've had on a county with codes in the n0 series (10, 20, 30, etc.), and I wasn't even sure if they were "real" county numbers. Maybe they're still not...

That brings me to 786 talkgroups and the following counties confirmed or likely:

HARR 01
MARI 02
MONO 03
BERK 11
JEFF 15
OHIO 21
WETZ 26
UPSH 37
CABE 41
BOON 42
LINC 43
LOGA? 44
MASO? 45
MING? 46
WAYN? 47
GREE 53
MERC 54
MCDO 55
KANA 61
Chas 62
LEWI 63
PUTN? 64
CALH? 72​

plus these counties hit, but unknown:

BARB? 04
PRES? 05
RAND? 06
? 08
? 10
HAMP? 13
? 25
? 31
? 32
? 33
? 34
? 36
? 51
FAYE? 52
WYOM? 58
? 60
? 66
? 68
? 73​

Can anyone supplement, correct, etc., any of these?

The unidentified TGs which I have are:
951
1549
1939
2951
6951
9960

903 is in the database twice. Is it radio techs?

01939 is the 911 channel for whatever county 17 is (eastern panhandle area).

The 0x951's are all the same function, for the various regions, but I don't know what that is.

Likewise for the 0x903 TGs. A cobwebby part of my memory thinks this is the regional EMS channel, but I might be remember wrong...

09960 is WV Env'l Health Services 1.

Encryption on TG 1141/TAC 5 on Berkeley County site this evening.

Although TG 1145 TAC7 is used for Arson Investigations, I think sometimes TAC5 is used for that as well. Tonight about 6PM, there was a suspicious fire where the FD requested WVSP due to evidence around the fire place and the rear door had been forced open. Might be used for this, but I might be wrong. TAC5 has been used in the past for joint investigations with WVSP, BCSO and others like US Marshals. Its also used for search warrants.

EDIT:

Using UniTrunker, I see BCSO RIDs as well as JCSO RIDs

111019
111002
150326

I think TG 1141/TAC5 is either the same as or linked to TG 1523 on the Jefferson site. I believe in the past, I've heard encrypted traffic on both at the same time. Anyone getting encrypted traffic on 1523? I guess I could put UniTunker over on the CC for the Jefferson site and see what RIDs are on that TG if its active.

EDIT #2:

Monitoring both systems, only TG 1141 is active.

0cc95 and 0cc97

The other day, I saw one of the console radios at the local (Kanawha County) ambulance authority affiliate with several talkgroups of the form 0cc95 and 0cc97. The counties were 01 (HARR), 02 (MARI), 03 (MONO), 05 (?), and 26 (WETZ, I think...). He appeared to be dialing thru a bunch of channels, mostly EMS-related, and landed on these along with the others.

What was interesting is that the site let him affiliate with them. Typically, the channels in the county series (as opposed to the regional or statewide channels) won't affiliate too far from home. E.g., I don't think a JEFF county unit could affiliate with "JEFF PD 1" in, say, Huntington. I know that I've seen 0cc51 (the counties' EMA/OES channels) affiliate remotely; this is the only other example I was aware of. So whatever they are, they appear to allow distant affiliation.

Has anyone ever heard any traffic on the 0cc95 and 0cc97 TGs? The dB has nothing.

TG 1141 seems to be used to warrants and is maybe used by the "Eastern Panhandle Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force" which is made up of US Marshals, JCSO, BCSO, Martinsburg PD, Ranson PD, Charles Town PD and others.

Some people have mentioned here before that their counties that have gone to the IRP system also have talkaround channels. In addition to the national mutual aid channels:

http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Common_Public_Safety

many counties have licenses talkaround stuff. E.g., Monongalia just got these:

http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/licenseFreqSum.jsp?licKey=3065490

and Kanawha County is using:

http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/licenseFreqSum.jsp?licKey=3036417

Check the FCC out to see if your area has anything.

I don't have any idea what happened at North Fork.

911 center channels

Well... so much for the alphabetical-within-region theory... Unless McD comes after Merc. I previously reported that I heard a user calling T/G 05551 "McDowell EMA", but based on my belief that 54 was McDowell County, I chalked it up to his mistake. Looks like it was my mistake. McDowell Control's RID is 0055xxxx (just heard Jimmy Joe calling them on 05933).

So 05551 is "McDowell EMA", and all of those 054xx talkgroups that we heard earlier must be Mercer County's. FYI, I've logged only one 0054xxxx RID on tower 0109, but 9 from 0055xxxx. Off to correct the (many) programs' databases...

...R

Huh.

I think we're pretty sure that McDowell county is county 55. I once heard radio 550109 ID as McDowell SO unit 109 (I guess there's a pattern there, huh), and McDowell 911 answered J/J tonite on radio 550022. And I think some of the southern users are also sure that Mercer County is county 54.

But their 911 channels seem to be flipped. I just heard J/J calling McDowell Control from Charleston on McDowell's 911 channel. According to the formula that the other counties follow, TG 05933 should be Mercer 911 (54 - 50 [region 6] = 4; 4 * 2 = 8; 8 + 25 = 33). And TG 05935 should be McDowell 911 (55 - 50 = 5; 5 * 10 = 10; 10 + 25 = 35). But I'm sure that J/J called 05933 McDowell 911. Unless the 911 channels are 1 off in Region 6, either they're not all assigned according to the formula I posted, or those two are just flipped for whatever reason.

If anyone else copies any traffic on a TG from 0x927 through 0x941, please let me know what the RIDs are and if you get a county name. Maybe I'll sort it out. Thanks.

Tg 5507

I think TG 5507 is also McDowell County SO. I heard several DPS unit switch over to this channel talking to McDOwell County and also I have logged.
R550021 on T9771 old hits
R550022 on T5933 old hits
R550023 on T5507 Dispatcher for McDowell County
R550024 on T9019
R550104 on TG 5507 McDowell SO unit # 104
R550106 on TG 5507 McDowell SO unit # 106

I got one for Kimball Fire Dept. but I will have to find that one.

Going back and listening to the recording from yesterday, it was a HAZMAT incident in McDowell County. About 19:00 last night, heard them talking about it and saying they were going back in the morning to figure out what happened. Might have more traffic today.

That was before 1900hrs. During the day around 1 or 2pm I heard Princeton Fire Department saying they were going to be over in McDowell county if they need them. They talk liked this was somthing that already happen. Later in the day I heard them saying Hazmat and back in the area. As of 7:56am today Princeton Fire was going back over to North Fork. Most likley will never hear anything on the news when it comes down to that area. I hear a lot of stuff in McDowell but never on the news.

I've been looking and was not able to find anything so you're probably right about not knowing what happened.

At 9am I heard Prinecton Fire calling TG9771 saying they are getting 2 kinds of readings from a smell in the basement of a furneral home. The state said they will let EPA know so they can track it down more. Was some traffic on 5501 but I did not catch who was talking but they did thank Princeton Fire for helping out on all the matter and lastnight. Other then a funeral home, I think I also heard something with a hospital. I'm not sure if they are one in McDOwell or not. When Prinecton got back on their radio on TG5403 to let them know he was on his way back he said they also open all the building back up.

The North Mtn site has been down for awhile, but just came back up. Probably weather related. We had just over an inch of ice on the trees here with lots of limbs and some powerlines down.

TG 3927 - Berkeley Site

Heard someone calling another on this TG on the Berkeley site. They called again and said "Randolph" and something about rescue or EMS. The person they were calling said they were OK and they were still at the hospital in Maryland. That was about it.

RIDs

310092
9042 (yes, I checked twice)

That would make sense. Notwithstanding my confused rambling about Mercer and McDowell's 911 channels, 3927 should be county 31's 911 channel. I'm pretty sure county 37 is Upshur County. Randolph being county 31 would jive, since it's in the same area. Here's my guess; if you have anything to edit, add, etc., lemme know...

http://www.baileyhudson.com/

Edit #1...

09042 is the first even WVSP TG I've seen...

BTW, I've seen 310092 on TG 3927 before, along with 310057 and 310091.

Edit #2...

To complicate things, someone just added a few TGs to the database that don't fit into this plan. 01901 as Reg 2 Fire fits my notes [that would make 0r901 Region (r+1)'s fire channel]. 01905 as Reg 2 PD also fits [same pattern]. [And I think 01903 would be Reg 2 EMS and 01907 would be Reg 2 EMA.] But 01907 as Berk 911 doesn't (I think it should be 01927), nor does 01915 as Jeff 911 (I think it should be 01935). [Can whoever posted those to the dB double-check? Thanks. ...R]
