Tucson Public Safety Academy TG's

[Maxagonzales]

Hello All,

Its me Max again with another question about PCWIN. I have noticed about Tucson Public Safety Academy they have talk groups but I dont know if they are under simulcast A or B, does anyone know about this? where to listen to these channels, i know its for the PSA for drill/CE for Fire and also LE.

Simulcast A always, others as needed.

1) I used to work with PCWIN.
2) Virtually all law enforcement is on Simulcast A.

thanks for that, do u know if the PSA on wilmot rd the FD uses the PSA TG too. i am changing my scanner to reflect Sim A, also do you think that can reach to NW simulcast?

I tried to get simulcast A to come out for the PSA but I can’t hear anything on it

I've never been to Tucson's PS Academy, but I'd expect everything to be simplex/low power.

At ALEA in Phoenix, one RTO carried the portable on runs. During Stop & Approach, was the only time the recruits got to play with a radio.

they are not low powered they are on the PCWIN infrastructure, the PSA is PD/FD do their recruit training and would like to hear what they are doing...

The point was that why would training needs be broadcast across county-wide?

Stop & Approach, EVOC training, range ops, burn houses, and what class is on what run/PT would be be infrequent and the radio is there for mostly emergency needs. I've worked at an academy and have first hand knowledge what transpires.

What you care to listen to is up to you. Out.

Almost every large public safety trunked system is carrying a good bit of traffic that could be just as effectively conducted on simplex channels.
