MedStar Admin Talkgroup

ID Tracker, running on the BC796, turned up another new MedStar talkgroup yesterday.

TG 12944 is another talkgroup that showed up at the same time as 7920 and 7984. After not running ID Tracker for a few days, I set it up to track and record audio from unidentified talkgroups. It recorded almost 10 minutes of audio from 12944, revealing it to be MedStar's Admin channel. Unlike the other new MedStar talkgroups, 12944 is a digital talkgroup. Based on yesterday's recording, the users are mostly MedStar supervisors rather than MedStar EMS units.
