TG 10 - Fire/EMS automated paging/dispatch by Locution Systems
Funny you should mention that because I wish locution was a little bit faster.Locution sounds great. Very easy to understand. Some of the live dispatchers talk so fast you can't even make out what town they are dispatching.
It seems that locution is not always in use. This afternoon I have heard a lot of calls come over the main paging TG but not on the locution TG.
Anyone been hearing it recently? Seems to have gone dark
Just heard them active again today. I guess it's selective or they are still playing around with it
DittoI heard it once this evening and then nothing again for hours.
Unless they assigned TG 10 to a TG/MG Site Access Profile that has the simulcast cell in the List of Included Requested Sites, the talkgroup will only be active when a subscriber is affiliated with it.
Yup, aware of that. My point was that if no subscriber is affiliated with an ASTRO 25 talkgroup, then it won't key up any repeaters, even when the system consoles are transmitting. Trust me, been there, done that with a paging TG. Had to force it to broadcast even with no subscribers affiliated. No matter how many times the MCC 7500 consoles were keyed up, no traffic channel was assigned until we did so. Note that I was speaking in general terms regarding how an ASTRO 25 system behaves, not giving a definitive answer as to how you have TG 10 setup on 4BA.@GTR8000 - Morris is a single site simulcast system. No IR or other simulcast subsites. Reason for not hearing at times is it is still in testing and may not be online at times.
