Dispatch Channels Bravo 1 and Charlie 1 are identical. Delta 1 is the VHF tone out channel for all agencies West Pierce, Central Pierce, Browns Point, Riverside, East Pierce, Anderson Island, DuPont use Bravo Channels South Pierce, Orting Valley, Ashford, Gig Harbor, Key Peninsula use Charlie...

All of those listed on that document appear correct, except Anderson Island Fire went to 800 not 700. After testing was done, it was found that it made more sense to put them on the 800 system.

Technically Buckley, Carbonado, Greenwater and Crystal are dispatched on Echo 1. USDD is just verbalizing the dispatch on Delta 1, Charlie 1 and Bravo 1. Those agencies will eventually shift over to the new SR410 VHF system this year. Buckley and Carbonado may go to Charlie bank for incidents.

They are on the 700 trunked radio system. I don't have a talk group ID for you though.

Graham, South Pierce and Ashford/Elbe moved to 700 (Charlie channels) today at 1100. This leaves the status of the Delta Channels (OLD VHF) as follows: Delta 1 = Tones/Dispatch Delta 3 = Outside VHF Mutual Aid (Other counties on VHF and JBLM) Delta 2, 5 and 6 = No longer used.

Now that we transitioned the last agencies to the 700 system today at 1100... The Delta Channels (Old VHF) will be used as follows: Delta 1 = Tones/Dispatch Delta 3 = Outside Mutual Aid (Agencies still on VHF in other counties and JBLM) Delta 2, 5, and 6 are no longer used.

As of this morning, the following fire agencies are on Charlie: Gig Harbor Key Peninsula Orting Valley East Pierce.

East Pierce and Orting Valley transitioned to Charlie at 1100 today.

So....Surprise! Due to an equipment issue we moved Gig Harbor and Key Peninsula to the Charlie bank TODAY at 11am. Next Tuesday will still be East Pierce and Orting Valley. And December 15 will be Graham, South Pierce and Ashford/Elbe.

Update for the transition to 700 Mghz radios: Dec 8 = Orting Valley Fire, East Pierce Fire Dec 10 = Gig Harbor Fire, Key Peninsula Fire Dec 15 = Graham Fire, South Pierce Fire, Ashford/Elbe Fire

Yes. The 700 system is digital. Look for transitions from VHF between December 8 and 15.

Well kinda... Yes, for all purposes related to Radioreference.com, they will be on the South Sound 911 system. In reality, there isn't a South Sound 911 radio system. There is a Tacoma/Puyallup System and a Pierce County/Pierce Transit System. South Sound 911 doesn't own or have any rights...

Dispatch is on Delta 1 153.890. They will be going over to 700 very very very soon.

The last time I saw their talkgroups, they have them patched with the old analog system. I am assuming they must have taken the patches down and are completely on digital now. I am not sure if the digital system acts the same as the old analog system where the talkgroup ID changes when there...

I have submitted all of the Charlie Channels to the database, Also, Tacoma Fire went live with US Digital yesterday, so if you are listening to Alpha 1, you will hear their version of the software. Sounds like the remaining county fire agencies will move to 700 before the end of the year.

From a previous thread: It appears that Charlie 1 is 40305

US Digital is up and running. So far we have had very few issues, but you might notice some differences between how things were handled manually and how the system does it.

After conducting performance testing last Saturday, we have turned on the VHF portion of US Digital for some in depth testing. It is now transmitting 2-tone and DTMF on Delta 1 (153.890). The dispatchers have the ability to turn the system off if needed and manually tone calls. After I...

Louie - Wish I had an answer for you on that one...

We have been completing this project in 3 phases: 1) We turned on the 700 MHz Charlie 1 feed to test and it is now live. 2) We turned on the 800 MHz Bravo 3 feed to test and then moved it to Bravo 1 and live. 3) We will turn on the VHF feed over the next 10 days. This will have the 2-tone and...
