As of today Comal County Sheriff flipped the switch for the big E. Guess they liked the Kerr County set up. County and city on two different systems and LE channels locked down. Next big flood we will see how interoperability goes.

It's the same two systems involved as Kerr County…both of which G1 R OP 6 through G1 R OP 10 as full time patches across both systems (same TGID on both systems). The interop capability has been there the whole time.

The only potential issue for any one of those system users would be bringing 700/800 MHz only radios to a VHF/700/800 party…which is something I believe support coming out of San Antonio did.

Always wondered what the G zone interop channels were used for. i haven't seen them used on the LCRA side but I also haven't been monitoring or looking. Good info. Yeah SAFD only had the 7/800 radios.

I have worked around their system. There are about 6 LCRA patches soley for Bexar County to the LCRA. From what I can remember at least the system end users there was no GATRRS zones.

Yep - I can confirm... I remember the CC Board meeting where Sheriff asked for approval to add the "E" license option to the radio upgrade project in 2023, and the writing was on the wall...

I mean, multikey AES encryption is required in all grant funded radios…

Should those G1 talkgroups 6-10 be listed in the LCRA database as well? I haven't heard or seen them pop up, and I don't have much knowledge about which channels are patched between the systems. I don't like to submit unless I have heard channels used or seen a programming personality or codeplug

I’ve seen some random 1000 and 6500 talkgroups that popped up during the floods, it’s probably some of those on LCRA, just didn’t have time to cross reference them on calls back then.
