Trunking Information

Welcome to the Trunking Information category which is a sub-category of Trunked Radio Systems. This category should be used to store information on on new or unknown trunk systems, or research on trunked systems (such as identifying talkgroups or users) that is not yet ready to be posted to the database.


An easy way to see if the data you have belongs here is to ask 3 simple questions;

  • Is the information critical to someone being able to trunk track this system? -or-
  • Does this information have to do with undocumented talkgroups? -or-
  • Is it news about a new system about to be constructed or put on the air?
  • Does it explain some technical aspect of a current system, such as where the transmit sites are or what their geographic coverage is?

If the answer to the first question is yes, and it has to do with custom programming or tables (beyond those needed for Rebanding), then place this information in our Regional Programming category.


If the answer to any of the 3 other questions is yes, then it belongs in this category. This specifically excludes Radio IDs (RIDs) or Unit IDs (UIDs). The RID UID Lists category is specifically reserved for that data.


If this information is needed for successful trunking, at some point such data should be sent to the appropriate DBA for inclusion in the database. News items should never be sent to the database.
