Kendall County Info

All dispatching is done at the Boerne PD station. All law enforcement traffic is Boerne Primary or TGP 7001. Any ID, Driver's License checks and other non primary information is on Boerne Info or TGP 7002. When there is additional traffic for some incident or maybe a football game, etc all of that traffic is moved to an Ops Channel. Boerne Fire, EMS, and County Fire are all dispatched on Kendall Fire/EMS TGP 1028. However, since not everyone has a radio, the paging of these agencies is simulcast with the old conventional channel 155.400. There have been neuromas problems with this system so that is why you may hear the EMS people say they didn't get the page. As for the traffic that sounded like DEA, the County and the City of Boerne has formed a Drug Task Force, so you maybe hear some of that. The County also uses a channel they call Kendall. It is a TAC channel, and I believe it is TGP 7023. 200's are Fire Marshals, 300's are Boerne PD, 1100's are Kendall County, and 6600's are DPS operating in Kendall County. All Law Enforcement have an iPad that allows them to receive a written notice of the call or their traffic stop. Dispatch automatically runs the license number of the vehicle. Officers have the ability to run all numbers through their iPad unless they are out of cell phone range, then they use the Info Channel. MDT alarm means a want or stolen hit is recorded in the system. Most of the time it is due to like names. If it is a good hit the dispatcher will immediately contact the officer. All units are required to notify the dispatch if they use their lights and siren for answering a call. They do not do this on a traffic stop. I hope this helps clear up some of the previous threads on here.

New TG??

TG 7042 on the Kendall site. Sounds like it's maybe Comfor fire driving around and showing new members the area?? Conversation about previous fire location in 2011, places on 473 that are known for motorcycle accidents. No unit numbers, RID is 8300272. Talking about gate codes and names of Ranches and how far they go back etc.

New Talkgroup?

Sounds like a Road & Bridge talk group, or it could be the new Deputy Fire Marshall. I'll see what I can find out about the ID number.

TG 7036 active tonight. Sounds like Comfort VFD is having some type of practice. The radio id's start with 830xxx. I heard "Engine 58" talking to "Dispatch". The "Dispatch" Radio id was not a console id. Anyway to find out what TG 7036 is?? When I search the database it only returns earlier post that reference this TG.

Last I had heard from a Kendall source is that each of the Fire Departments in the county have one or two "Tac" channels that they use for training or just as a talk or back channel. This would probably be Comfort 1 or something like that.

Anybody notice the Kendall count sites are acting weird?? Signal strength on all three comes and goes without moving the scanner. I did hear a radio tech talking with dispatch earlier.

Update:

Signal strength is back to normal. Could not receive anything all day. Multiple radio resets and download of system from RR database did not make any difference. Had the scanner next to me looking on the internet for similar problems and suddenly hear traffic on scanner and have full signal strength. Did hear a radio tech doing several radio checks on LCRA Test 4. I'm guessing they have been working on them today.

I have noticed issues with the sites as well. They will lose data where Unitrunker will not show any data or signal from a 99% signal strength output. Then they will come back. They have been changing around the control channel as well. It is working fine now.

I also heard a DPS aircraft call sign "Striker" with helo 107 last night. I'm guessing that was the fixed wing aircraft since the station only shows a helicopter and a single engine aircraft on the DPS website.

Have never heard the name striker for the fixed wing.

The fixed wing, however has had a tremendous amount of activity lately.

It usually IDs as "243" or "Inspector 243."

It's a Pilautis PC12 with tail number N243TX. There was one day two weeks ago when 106, 107 AND 243 were all airborne and working in and around the SA metro area.

243 usually cruises/circles at 10,500, 13,500 or 15,000ft.
I did see one op where he circled at 7,500.

Yeah I have never heard Striker callsign either. All the new DPS activity in the area is from the surge that DPS sent to the SA Metro area to help with the Violent Crimes Task Force. They added an extra fixed wing plus numerous troopers and agents on the ground. The surrounding counties have had easier access to air support with the addition of extra DPS assets.

Medical Aircraft

Does anyone have the VHF frequencies that the medical helicopters use when they come into Kendall County like airlife Air Evac Etc. I know they patch them to Ops channels but sometimes they just use the VHF frequencies.

And like that, N219TX, another Pilautis PC12 owned by TxDPS was airborne over SAT last night.
