continuing with the "cleaning up" of a couple of my scanners, I was hoping to see if thesefollowing TG's are ever active and or used for much? I believe i may have heard maybe a peep on one Tg in like a years time? Who is "in the know" Thank you..

062416 KCFD M.A. ZONE-1
062448 KCFD M.A. ZONE-2
062480 KCFD M.A. ZONE-3
062512 KCFD M.A. ZONE-4
062576 KC/VC POOL 1
062608 KC/VC POOL 2

MA Zone 2 and 4 are dead. MA Zones 1, 3, 5, and MA Pool 1 and 2 are active. You'll want to program them in your scanner. Typically they are patched to another talkgroup during major incidents.

nice thanks, do you know anyhting about the following?

38416 king/val Merge
24112 K.C.S.O. F-2 PTC
Thank you..

I've not logged anything on 38416 (Valley Fire Districts TG supposedly) not sure if anyone else has spotted anything there but it would be very rare use if they did. I have a radio that sits and looks for new TG's or previously unlogged ones on the county radio system regularly and that one hasn't popped.

24112 is a patch to Search and Rescue F2 154.965/153.995 in, 123.0 PL as I recall. This is used and usually only comes up when there is an active SAR effort underway.

Fire Zones 2 and 4 have collapsed into 1 and 3, but I'm still logging traffic on those two talkgroup IDs. Any guess if they got renamed/reused?

Are these still in use? i believe LFP is dispatched by someone else are they not?

18992 Lk Forest Pk PD-Tac
19024 Lk Forest Pk PD-Disp

Ya, Bothell. Frank units are the LFP cars.

Right on thank you. I thought I had heard activity on those. Ok does anyone have info on the following and if they should be programmed in a scanner or not?

31504 Z2 Bat 1-FD #10 Issaquah/N
31536 Z2 Bat 2-FD #10 Issaquah/N
31568 Z2 Bat 3-FD #10 Issaquah/N
31600 Z2 Bat 4-FD #10 Issaquah/N
31632 Z2 Bat 5-FD #10 Issaquah/N

Fire District 10 is now part of Eastside Fire & Rescue. EF&R is divided internally into 5 battalions:

Battalion 1: Greater Issaquah/Tiger Mtn./Preston
Battalion 2: Sammamish
Battalion 3: May Valley
Battalion 4: Carnation
Battalion 5: North Bend

When you hear them toning for manpower and they say "Manpower requested for Battalion 5" that's what they mean.

The Battalion 1-5 talkgroups are generally used on drill nights by the vollies in the various EF&R battalions. They typically don't use them for any real incidents.

Is King County even licensed on that old VHF Frequency? I know that Kitsap uses it as their car to car channel now.

I belive LFP still uses the Tac TG. Been awhile since I have listened to that Group on my BCT15, but seem to remember hearing two Frank units on Bothell going to Tac and I followed them overthere.
