WCDES Trunked Talkgroups

[DOC22 1]

I have been hearing what sounds like radio shop personnel talking on the trunked frequencies. the number that comes up on my scanner is 37104??????? Anyone have any ideas???? input????

That ID number is not listed in Radio Reference, so maybe it's something "new".

When I get a chance I'll have to try and switch my scanner settings over to ID Search mode, and maybe I'll hear something.

Or.....it's the channel used when two units talk direct,( I-Call ) off the trunk system??? and you're picking it up??

Yes, but everything I hear is indicitive of testing being done by radio techs. Sounds like they are adding something. They turn off channel 2, or whaever, sothey can switch it?????

Let's hope that maybe they're adding (towers?) or frequencies to the sites so they can handle more traffic???

I've heard them both yesterday and today also. According to NF2G.com TG 37104 is assigned to RACES - Radio Amatuer Civil Emergency Services. The local group is WECA - Westchester Emergency Communications Association. Basically they are the local "Ham Radio" group.

I heard them today talking about all six channels, "put the control channel back on channel one", among other things. Around 12:30P they said they would meet at the next site between 1:30P - 2:00P.
