To listen it does not need to affiliate.

Without looking it up FG51 will be 301 same frequency just digital. Imc 76 if memory is right, frenchmans gap, will be same frequency also ch 326 but in digital

Since IMC 76 goes through A repeater it will be trunked on the rmr so need a tgid also need the new CH numbers for 76 and 51.

It is my understanding from extensive reading that District Dispatch channels 500 - 580 will be Trunked and all other will be P25 Conventional I will have a look at the band plan when I find it again

No only channels on the Telstra RMR network are trunked, CFA IMC analogue channels are/ will become P25 conventional. Most trunked channels are in the 500's but there are some scattered throughout the channel plan as part of the additional RMR Command channels that were added recently.

Your channel ch76/ 326 is not a trunked channel but a P25 conventional so won't need a TGID and channel ch51/ 301 is also a P25 conventional channel.

The imc channels would have a TGID as they go through a repeater so it will be trunked on the RMR

Pretty much spot on. They recycle the same frequencies in the same order and assign NAC's (like a CTCSS/PL tone).
here in region great !! i mean 8 .. the freq for digital fire ground are different to the old "got" freq used on analogue

Dumb question... My local brigade uses RMR 512. if I want to just have a separate set of LOCAl frequencies how do I do this? Do I take all the freqs for the local transmitter and hope for the best?

Due to the way trunking works, you can't. You could scan the voice channels of the local RMR tower, but then you're gonna be getting all comms that are sent through that tower, which would include 502 and possibly others. Best bet is to use a trunking scanner, then just lock out all talkgroups except 512.
