If any one is familiar with monitoring Hernando County, I have some questions:
1. What is the protocol for Fire Rescue tone-outs? Are the apparatus on 800 MHz only, and just the tones and initial dispatch come out on VHF? Or is the appratus to dispatch traffic also on VHF in some places?
I am getting tones on 154.235, and on talk group 496 (Fire-5), but not at the same time for the same call. So I am just curious what the protocol is for initial tone outs, and then on-scene communications.
2. Also, on the HSO side, I thought the county was divided into 3-4 patrol districts, but almost all of the primary Sheriff's Office traffic is on talk group 4016 (Patrol 1). Why would I not be getting more traffic on Patrol 2 and/or Patrol 4 (I have not found a Partol 3 yet)?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Don
