So you say they are going to use TAC1 and TAC2 to communicate TACtically... What a great idea!

Very Innnnnteresting. Let me make a note of that and update my files.

Thanks, guys.

Maybe to follow NFPA guidelines for fire ground operations like Stamford and Greenwich do.

waterford has a standoff in a mobile home park on ferri road I wonder if they are relaying their TACtical moves on the new TACtical channels im to far to listen on my scanner

conducting any fireground communications on a trunked or repeater system is suicide. Waterford is doing the right thing. NFPA1221

Couldn't say it better, wish more departments would do what is proper!

The two new tac channels are actually used for Fire-ground communications, They are transmitting analog not Digital audio so that they can have clear onsite communications even in high background noise such as at a fire scene. They put in three remote receiver sites so that Dispatch can monitor the channels and record them. This will also keep on scene communications off the main dispatch and trunk system but they can use the same radios.
