National Interop Freqs

[reconrider8]

Living right along I95 and such would it be logical to program in the national interop channels into my radio. I know i read somewhere a few months back that it would be a good thing to program them in but if logical which ones would i use to program and which are more likely used here in NC?

It couldn't hurt

And I can definitively say that the 8CALL/8TAC frequencies are used
a good bit here in the Triangle.....

Do a search for NIFOG (National Interoperability Field Operations Guide) You will find a LOT of information of the subject. You should also find what Fx's would be used in your area, when/if activated for an incident. Remember, these fx's would only be used for a federally declared incident; they are not (supposed to be) used otherwise.

im just wondering what all would/count be used around my area and such not sure if tac8 would be used this far from the triangle or would it?

Considering that every VIPER radio is programmed with the 8Call90/8TAC9x frequencies
for statewide interoperability I am sure there are quite a few radios around your area
that have those frequencies

so you say plug all of them in for the state what about federal level tho for use on I95 when transporting cargo or something

Dave gave you the answer a few posts up.

National Interoperability Field Operations Guide | Homeland Security

Scroll to the bottom, download whichever file format you desire, and glance through.

It's got all the federal & non federal interoperability frequencies.

The NTIA Red Book is also worth looking at, specifically Chapter 4.2:

Go crazy.

In addition there are links to state public safety interoperability web sites at the bottom of this page

i read that stuff i get more confused. which frequency would you enter the mobile Rx of mobile Tx? and would anyone happen to have a file of these?

 

[trumpetman]

You use the mobile receive frequency.

Yes it is confusing! And that is when you sit down and try to figure it out to program into a scanner. Imagine how it's going to go once someone has to actually use them in a real incident. I am sure that there are plenty of places that don't have any of these programmed into their radios (throughout the country).

At least the channels have names, so you can line them up with the fx's.

Let's just hope we NEVER have to use these channels.....

true that lol i cant seem to figure out what you guys were saying as to look here and it will tell you what would be in use the only map they got up is of the west coast lol i want something saying (point-point) but i guess it doesnt get that easy. I recon ill just go and program em all in and say screw it lol just leave them in a separate bank

We have these in our radios (along with all the 8tac's)

Those 700 frequencies get a lot more use than most think. Make sure those are in there in tone search, both analog and digital.

Those would be the new 700Mhz direct frequencies that will
be programmed into all VIPER radios.

so program the taxc8 and the 7nc freqs what else like i stated before i read threw it but it didnt really give me the answer that i was looking for

Yeah I probably could have been a bit more specific on what 'my radio' is haha. Those frequencies came from my apx6000 VIPER radio.

I don't know what other answer we can give you.
Frequencies like the ones listed above can be used anywhere at
anytime. They are not really "assigned" specific areas. And since they
have simplex (direct) capability a lot of agencies use them for low power
simplex comms unit to unit.
All you can do is program them in and keep them in the scan list.

Yep. Some of us have seen the templates
