Sarpy TRS down, using rebanded I-TAC frequencies

Must have been something in the cosmos Friday. Lincoln experienced radio issues just before expanded dispatch (which I think is 15:00). It sounded pretty ugly. For a brief moment they discussed moving channel 1 dispatch to channel 39 digital and channel 3 dispatch to channel 26 digital.

I don't know for sure what the issue was, but I did hear them advise that the north tower was down, and that coverage downtown on an HT would be spotty, and that cars should be ok. Even then, some of the patrol cars downtown had problems talking.

Sarpy's system went down last week Thursday as well.
LE East dispatch uses ITAC 1
LE West dispatch uses ITAC 2
Anybody know what fire uses when the system is down. I heard Sarpy using the Calling frequency as well but very weak.

You will still hear them on the non re banded conventional frequencies too.

This document lists all of the nationwide interoperability channels and their "proper" names. Not everyone follows this naming convention, but it is highly encouraged.

This little book is also quite handy:
