Amador and El Dorado 2015 info

[zerg901]

Amador County and El Dorado County fire radio info from 2015 - from official online document

---------------------

Non Incident / Training Channels

Amador County - XAM Tac - 154.25

El Dorado County - XED Tacs - 154.43 and 154.995

-------------------

2ndary fire tac channel - VFIRE 24 - 154.2725 - (apparently not prescribed for any specific use and held in rserve as a spare / overflow tac channel)

===========================

The RRDB presently shows 154.25R with 153.83 input as Amador (fire) Tac - this is rare - a repeaterized fire tac channel in California - fire tac channels in California are commonly simplex with no base stations

The FCC database via RR shows 154.995 in El Dorado County licensed to El Dorado Heights County Water District - and 154.43 does not show as licensed to anyone in El Dorado County at this time

Lots of changes in 5 years it seems

The FCC database via RR shows 154.995 in El Dorado County licensed to El Dorado [Hills] County Water District

El Dorado Hills County Water District is the legal district name for the fire agency that is publicly known as the El Dorado Hills Fire Department. They are solely a fire department. I believe they sold off their water district assets to El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) many years ago.

El Dorado Hills Fire Department uses 154.9950 (labeled as XED WEST in the radios) as a training channel.

I'm not sure if 154.4300 (labeled as XED EAST in the radios) is used for anything. Possibly for training for the rural fire districts.

Amador Tac (labeled as XAM TAC in the radios) is licensed as a repeater operation. Not sure of its current use. Might be used in simplex mode for training. The old Amador Command 154.9350 (used to be XAM CMND in the radios) is still licensed as well.

XAM CMND, XAM TAC, and the old XAM CMND are all licensed to the Amador Fire Protection District.

Let me throw out 2 more tidbits from the 2015 document

151.19 R - the El Dorado Hills repeater in western El Dorado County changed the access tone from 15 to 11

El Dorado Command (155.9025R) added a repeater at Leek Springs with Tone 2 as access

(odds that this is useful info to anyone - maybe 1 in a million - but ya never know)

154.430 was being used until a few years ago when they switched to 155.9025. I could see that still being licensed, but it's not being used in El Dorado / Amador.

It is being used as a simplex channel dubbed "XED TAC EAST". Still very much in use.

Thanks. I didn't know that it was still used there. It must be outside of my reception area.
