Talkgroups and their Appearances on Each Repeater

Thanks to the work by Marc, KK7LMP, we have a comprehensive network visualization page (newly updated) that brings together the data storehouse and few hardcoded web pages. This Viz page is worth taking a look at and dive beneath the primary page or elevation charts and repeater map pages. There is a ton of data, some of it not displayed in any other way on our website. It helps me as the system manager, at times, to see coding errors or simply poor planning or implementation in how our talkgroups are managed across the entire DMR network, more especially as the network has grown and changed over time.

Documentation is available if you wish to really explore how to better use the capabilities of this work.

For example, lets illustrate something obscure, not easy to find on any other page.

  • You want to know which repeaters carry Idaho ARES; just 4 in Idaho, no surprise
  • SNARS; 10 repeaters, a bit of a surprize for an obscure TG
  • Which repeaters carry ARRG fulltime; only 2, 7 others are PTT on the I-84 group
  • Coding mistake; TAC 1 on Elephant Mtn was FT (all TAC’s should be PTT)
    • Now corrected to part time. I was surprised that it hadn’t been reported.
  • Which is our highest repeater on the network; Whistler Mtn in British Columbia
