Carson City services on Washoe EDACS

[firephoto29]

Recently while scanning ID's on Washoe County EDACS I saw that TG 241 and TG 242 are both utilized by Carson City. 241 is CCSO and 242 is CCFD Dispatch.

What site did you receive this on?

Carson bought Harris radios.

Slide Mountain Site as I was ID searching I found both FD and SO talkgroups. They were just added to Washoe EDACS

Their primary site is McClellan Peak on the Nevada EDACS side. You will hear them on Slide MT when a radio comes in range in affiliates with that site. And yea you can hear them on peavine if someone in Reno is listening to that Talkgroup

Thanks for the replies. I'm way out north of Reno, perhaps I can receive Slide from my location.

Maybe Slide MT has a really good footprint it hits places you wouldn’t think you could hear it.

You should be able to. Although I live in South Reno so I use Slide Mtn. primarily.

The only place where I pick up no RSSI for Slide Mtn. is in Downtown Reno and anywhere west such as Verdi. Although in Carson City I am lucky to have any RSSI on Slide Mtn.

I have had good RSSI in DT Reno on MT Slide. They could have adjusted the antennas angles since I've been there.

Slide was optimized to cover Mustang better, since USA Parkway and Painted Rock were added.

I’m assuming this is due to the mutual aid agreement Between TM and Carson Fire and WCSO and CCSO?

Has there been any luck in finding Carson City Fire's new "FD Command" channel? They seem to use this new channel when going on working incidents (i.e. Gas leak, stucture fire, vegetation fire) and I cannot find it anywhere. I usually scan the VHF TAC channels as well but can't pick them up on those either.

It's probably on the EDACS side now that they all have XL200p with VHF-7/800

 

[com501]

VHF P25 clear.

 

[W1ECO]

VHF P25 clear.

Do you have info on that frequency or if they have gone encrypted? Thanks!

 

[com501]

I do, but my NDA precludes sharing.

I'm not in the area at the moment but I would make note of the frequencies in WRAV654. They don't seem to match anything else in the database and they include emission designators for P25 conventional voice as has been eluded to.

SHHH NOBODY CARES!!! You keep encrypting and making money, not sure why you opine here? Seems conflict of interest? Most here are interested in what they can hear, not what you encrypted.

Wow, great info and such a huge help to us all.
