New Talkgroups Found on Charles, Prince William, and Stafford Systems

Hurricane Irene provided a chance to catch a bunch of new talkgroups on the various public safety trunked systems:
  • Talkgroup 18880 on the Charles County trunked system appears to be used by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration. "MVA" units were heard here, discussing the status of the Nice Bridge.
  • Talkgroup 48016 on the Prince William County trunked system was used for the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
  • Talkgroups 4611 and 4620 on the Stafford County trunked system are encrypted fire talkgroups, probably for Command staff. 4707 is for the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). 4726 appears to be Utilities/Water. Several other 47xx-series talkgroups were observed; some of these were encrypted.
