What does 7 Echo 7 Foxtrot mean?

[s-one]

Sorry been a long time member but I've been out of town for many years and recently moved back and as I tune back in to my old hobby I'm hearing a robot constantly dispatching 7 Echo 7 Foxtrot.. What does that mean? Is there an SD site were I can refresh and relearn the lingo?

thanks kindly

7 Echo 7 Foxtrot means the incident is being handled on talk groups 7E and 7F. Just the same as 7 Hotel 7 India is for radio talk groups 7H and 7I.

7E 7F is usually medical aids and 7H 7I is usually car crashes.

The Heartland computer now ALSO spells out 'tac', instead of just saying it.

OK, boys and girls. another question..

Earlier this morning, on 10A, I heard a unit come up and say something to the effect
of "the (DSI?) team was in service, and clearing area 77".

Any clues??

OK, that makes sense. I wonder where area 77 is (near Area 51 maybe)?

Most of my listening is at night, and I'd guess THEY work days.
