Davidson County

[yardbird]

Good Morning,

I was listening to Davidson County last night on Viper as they were getting dispatched to several fires and fire alarm activations.

I heard communications assign them to fire ops channels.

Well I have incident 1-3 programmed and never heard anything out of them.

Is there separate fire ops talkgroups that Davidson are using that are not listed in the database.

Please let us know

David

There are 6 fire tac talkgroups (tac 6 thru tac 10 - TGID 15020 thru 15025) on VIPER as well as numerous vhf conventional fireground frequencies for Davidson Co in the database. What model scanner and programming software are you using?

There are also 4 700mhz P25 simplex "Direct" channels available across the state (disregard the NAC that should change based on the county):

769.00625			M	293 NAC	DIRECT 1	Direct 1	P25	Interop
769.01875			M	293 NAC	DIRECT 2	Direct 2	P25	Interop
769.03125			M	293 NAC	DIRECT 3	Direct 3	P25	Interop
769.04375			M	293 NAC	DIRECT 4	Direct 4	P25	Interop

My fingers malfunctioned. The fire tac talkgroups are tac 5 thru tac 10.

Davidson county is using tac-1 through tac-10 now that they are on the VIPER system.

When Rowan is requested as mutual aid with Davidson, they are often asked to switch to "IC1".

What is the difference in the IC talk groups and the regular TAC channels?

What warrants an incident to be assigned an IC channel versus a TAC channel?

I'd venture a guess that it would be whatever mutual-aid / interop / Memorandum of Understandings agreements are in place between the two comm centers and agencies. In other words; TAC channels probably stay within the county and IC channels are fair-game for surrounding counties/agencies.......

Pretty darn easy. Someone with the document posted it. Your internal paperwork is only as secure as the people you release it to.

Thank you Sbizzel911 for posting. Radio Templates should be public record, as matter of fact I do believe they are.
