Changes to Reno County Paging system

[Redneck0410]

I have noticed today that Reno County has slightly changed up their paging system... Now, as of the time of this post, units are being paged out on TG 2387, which is, according to the DB, Patrol SGT Tac channel. I will continue to monitor this TG to determine if the paging will stay on that TG or go back to the RN Fire/EMS TG as it had been in the past. Also, from what I can tell, they're possibly using a similar paging system to South Metro Fire in Colorado.

They call it AVD. Automated voice dispatching that they have initiated. One way traffic outgoing Dispatch page only from what I was told.

Yeah, that's it. Thanks, Don. I knew there was a name for it, but damned if I could remember what it was. Hope you guys in Harvey County are doing okay. We got the hell knocked out of us here in Hutch. This poor AVD system is getting a major workout.

We took a beating. Burrton, Halstead and Newton all have considerable tree and structure damage. And chance of a repeat tomorrow....Our call load was 5x normal for about 4 hours Sunday evening. Over 2 dozen busies and we were getting rollover 911 calls from Hutch on top of our own calls.

Yeah, it killed Verizon's towers all over Hutch... my cell was down for most of Sunday night and just started working halfway decent about mid-day Monday.

Glad I was able to find this discussion. I noticed a long time ago I was no longer hearing the page out for most Reno County stuff on my BCD436. My parents new Home Patrol is the same. What do I need to adjust to pull these in again? Going into Sentinel now to look around at my settings. Edit to add they come through old, analog scanners just fine. Is it a simulcast issue or something else?

All you need to do is add TG 2387 to your scan list if it already isn't. Reno County does not have a simulcast system. If you're using sentinel, look for the Patrol SGT Tactical channel... this talkgroup has been repurposed as the paging channel for Reno County Fire/EMS.

Thanks! I realize now that the answer was already here. I just now got around to working on it (Vegas last week ) Got it updated and it's working appropriately! Thanks again!

Something else I've noticed here lately... maybe a fluke, maybe something to it... Anyone else in this area noticed Reno County's Ops channels have gone eerily quiet the last several days?

After doing some more looking in my settings in my SDS 100 and 200, I noticed the service types checklist was messed up... Now everything is coming through like it should be.
