Clatsop County Public Safety

[Radioman_911]

Can anyone shed some light on how the public safety channels are utilized in Clatsop. They are the one county I have never truly understood (or listened to much).

Just looking for which channels are actually used and who uses what. Along with that, I am wondering:

-Is all of CCSO ran off of the 155.790 (Law Dispatch Channel)?
-Are there still two fire tap out channels? (153.740 listed as "dispatch" in addition to South County Fire Dispatch 154.385)
-What channel is Seaside Fire dispatched on (where is the "north" vs/ "south" divided line if there are still two tap out channels)
-What about departments out Hwy 26 (Elsie-Vinemaple/Hamlet), what channel do they use?
-What is this "East Astoria Area Dispatch" channel (listed as Sky Tac)..... what is this used for and who uses it?

I've got no explanations, but this is what my zone has. Inputs and tones are removed.
CCSO N and S have different inputs.

Is that pulled from a public safety radio? CCSO having same freq with different inputs makes sense.
Now I’m wondering if they really only run two repeaters (this would be shocking) or if it’s a “north” and “south” simulcast system with the same output.

I wouldn't say CCSO is running 2 repeaters. They are simulcast, so all there sites are tied to each other. I'm not sure, but it would make sense they have north and south simulcast.

I feel like that was what I typed… was looking for someone who is more familiar with their system to verify that.

looking at there frequency list, i don't think its simulcast. They might be using a voted system. the strong signal will be heard on the closest radio site. I listen to them on line, there system doesn't sound like a simulcast system.

***I need to make a correction - CCSO 1 Outputs AND Inputs are the same with different tones.
Also this list is NOT confirmed as the most current and should not be submitted to the database.

I knew the differences in the PSAP’s. Was mainly curious about how all the channels are divided up and who uses which channel (users)

SO and Fire each have upwards of 5 repeaters, Megler, 101 and Cathlamet are the ones I remember off the top of my head. They are all the same output frequency and PL with the same input, different PL. All you really need is the one output that is accurate in the database.

Fire Green is used by Seaside and Cannon Beach and is usually where they are toned out

As far as a listener everything is accurate in the database.
