Welcome to the {{{State}}} Trunking Information category which is a sub-category of both [[:Category:{{{State}}}]] and Category:Trunking Information. This category should be used to capture articles that contain information on on new or unknown trunk systems in {{{State}}}, or research on trunked systems (such as identifying talkgroups or users) in {{{State}}} 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 4 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.


Articles with list(s) of unidentified or unknown talkgroups should also be placed in that state's Unknown Talkgroups category. This makes finding talkgroups that need further investigation very easy to find. Just click on the state's Trunking Information category and you'll see it listed as an additional sub category (if available). When a talkgroup is positively identified, it should be submitted for inclusion in the database. One can then use the Wiki Extensions to bring the talkgroup section into the article if it's still needed. Note that news items should not be sent to the database.


Please add this category to any article that lists information on trunked systems for this state.
