[Mod: Maybe this topic {questions and discussions about this new system generally} should be sticky?]
With the post of some active talkgroups on this system, perhaps someone could shed some light on the relationship between talkgroup numbers and the typical Moto status bits. Usually, the low-order 4 bits signify transmission status, and the upper-order bits the talkgroup number (why you have to divide the decimal # by 16 to get the talkgroup).
The talkgroups added to the system info page:
101 006 D Cross Patched with VHF-Low Band
103 006 D Fire ?
105 006 D Police - Car-to-Car
107 006 D Sheriff - Dispatch
111 006 D Police
only differ by their status bits. E.g.,
101 = x0065
103 = x0067
105 = x0069
107 = x006B
111 = x006F
If I didn't know better, I'd normally decode this as:
101 = x006 + emergency multi-select
103 = x006 + dispatcher-initiated multi-select
105 = x006 + encrypted + fleet-wide
107 = x006 + encrypted + crosspatch between talkgroups
111 = x006 + encrypted + dispatcher-initiated multi-select
But these obviously don't correspond to what our listener heard. Anyone wanna enlighten me? Thanks!
