Does someone know it San Bernardino County Fire - VHF in the datebase is still being used or have they done away with it?

Still used. County 1 thru 4 are monitored by Comm Center 24/7 for mutual aid responding units. Sometimes they get patched to 800mhz but not too often. The tacticals (BDC V15 thru 19) are available for on scene tactical work and are programmed in all fire apparatus radios. 800mhz tacticals are used first, however, with non 800mhz agencies responding to County run incidents, these will be used.

It is my informed statement that Fire is returning to VHF while Sheriff willo stay at 700/800. With virtully all Fire on VHF it doesn't make sense and complictates communications during IA.
But then San Berdu drop the fulltime VHF patches.

When will that happen, Tomas?
sbdo moving off 800
could be but I don't know. One thing to keep in mind. 800 isn't free. In ours and moany other locations it is a subsciption based service , we pay about $26/mo/radio. That adds up to alot of money, this could be a fiscal move.

New upgraded 800mhz radios scheduled to be distributed this week to County Fire...it's not happening anytime soon...
New XTS5000's received...700mhz capable and P25 capable...somehow I doubt VHF "only" will come anytime soon...and the dept didn't have to pay for them. Thanks Sprint/Nextel!!!
