That's correct. If the radio ID is 4105413, that Officers department serial number is 5413.KCMO PD handhelds are assigned by badge (i.e. serial) numbers.
Would that officer also announce themselves verbally as "413" on the radio, or are the radio calls different from serial numbers?If the radio ID is 4105413, that Officers department serial number is 5413.
To get OP25 running in fall 2018, I followed the directions from this blog post: OP25 For Dummies – Or how to build a police scanner for $30 (Part 1) | John’s Tech Blog . I already knew how to drive Linux; I just needed the directions on what else I needed to install to get OP25 to run.Papagei - is there anywhere you could direct me to learn more about using Realtek SDRs and OP25?
It's probably just a 1 kHz alert tone (sound effect) that doesn't activate anything except the listeners' ears.Another novice question... When various PDs (Overland Park, Olathe, etc.) put out single tones ahead of certain calls (evidently those of an urgent nature), are they simply to call attention so that officers will know to listen, or are those tones actually used to active devices?
Either way - does anyone know what the parameters are for deciding what calls get toned?
Much appreciated!It's probably just a 1 kHz alert tone (sound effect) that doesn't activate anything except the listeners' ears.
Some departments like to do that and others don't.
When I lived in St. Joe many years ago they sent 1, 2 , 3 or no tones depending on the call priority.
Some departments use different single tone, repeating tone, high-low tone or siren sound effects for different priority calls.
There is probably some internal SOP for prioritizing calls, maybe their CAD system does it.
I'm a dispatcher and you are right. The tones are just to get the Officers attention due to the higher priority nature of the call.It's probably just a 1 kHz alert tone (sound effect) that doesn't activate anything except the listeners' ears.
