Why Does CHP El Cajon Dispatch Change Talkgroups?

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I've always wondered why the CHP El Cajon Dispatch fluctuates between 37888 and 38880? Do the radios have to be re-programmed when this happens? Is there a technical reason for the shifts?

Thanks :D

Why, I haven't a clue... No they don't have to re-program radios, they're just switching talkgroups... Perhaps at lineup they're told what channel to be on..

I've wondered why they change myself. I do know that they are evaluating the RCS system for their use. It is possible that they're just checking out each talkgroup as part of the evaluation?
