Solano SO on VACAVILLE TRUNK?

[R1VINCE]

So i was listening in the shack (like i always do) and to my astonishment, i heard the "delayed echo" of a simulcast on two of my radios.

1 radio(BCT15) says Solano SO Dispatch on 155.490 c107.2

The other radio(PRO92) says VACAVILLE TRUNK-VACAPATROL3 (I.D.432)

i said huh?

So i switched it around and put the PRO92 on conventional SOLANO SO and put the BCT15 in to VACAVILLE TRUNK and ...WOW...SAME THING.

i mixed it up with all the radios on my desk capable of recieving VacaTrunk to do so - and all my other radios to do Solano SO conventional ...WOW...SAME THING!


so...i guess it s safe to say that the sheriff is experimenting on being on VacaTrunk...?
maybe to be permanent...?

just an FYI!

I suspect they were using an interoperability device that patches both systems together.
In Sacramento there are two interoperability systems routinely used.

A) CommLink
B) RIOS ( Folsom Police Communications Van )
Folsom Website - Caommunications, Technology, and Interoperability Section


The CommLink connects multiple conventional and mulitple TRS 800MHz users together patching agencies together that normally cannot communicate with each other.

B) RIOS - A is a computer controlled inter-op setup that hooks up portable radios together on the fly. A simple, quick and efficient system that can be modified very quickly to connect radio systems together.

In Los Angeles a PD tactical on UHF will be patched with a FD tactical on 800 MHz for large fire incidents. Patching is a common occurrence in large cities. In rural areas we don't have this capability, so the CHP has local S.O. and P.D. VHF channels in their extenders. Caltrans supervisors have a CHP radio in their pickups. Lacking this arrangement scanner cross talk is used.
