[Scan-DC] Montgomery County Police Channel A14

[Doug Kitchener]

Yeah, there was something going on in Wheaton, I think a suicidal person.

I think A14 is the one that may also be called Tac A.  There may be some confusion about this, because before the Grande Rebanding, I _believe_ they may have had two different types of radios out there (or something like that), and on some radios it was in position A5 or A7 (I can't remember which!) and on others it was in A14.

I don't know if this has changed since the rebanding.  PS1 is Public Safety 1... apparently the county has recently realigned a bunch of the public safety and local gummint talkgroups.

I heard some traffic from the Wheaton incident on what I have labeled in my radio as Tac A, Talkgroup 13136, which RadioReference says is A7 - not sure whether they were using a second talkgroup on that incident as well...

You're right, PS1 doesn't show in the list... I think the info on the grid may not be up to date in that regard.

Hope this makes some sense!

Regards,

Doug
