All-
Over the last several days during waking, non-working hours, I've been identifying the unique, station specific i-calls that pop-up on the Aurora TRS whenever an AFD call goes out. I don't see this logged anywhere else, so hopefully this will be of some benefit to some folks. It's a 2-tone alert, no voice, not sure if this is Zetron, or just a unique 2-tone combination that opens the station speakers. These i-calls are station, not rig specific. So for example a truck 7 run & an engine 7 run get the same i-call. The i-call goes out between the two-tone alert & the vocalization of the call on the AFD Dispatch talkgroup (DEC 529).
Sometimes I'm just interested in activity of 1 particular station (the one in my part of town), & quite frankly, a lot of times I just get irritated by all of the chatter & don't want to monitor the whole city! So, in these cases I'll just monitor my station's i-call for activity, & then activate my "dispatch" group in my BCD-396T to catch the call on the voice talkgroup. Just like a regular talkgroup, an i-call can be stored & scanned in most EDACS capable trunk trackers..
So again, this has only been a casual pursuit, & I don't have stations 13-15 yet (not near as busy as the rest of the city) but when I do, I'll post it. And I've confirmed each of these at least twice, so the i-calls appear to be consistently the same IDs.. but no warranty expressed or implied, use at your own risk ;-)
