DCFD zones

[N4VKF]

Can someone explain to me what the zones are? Is dcfd using zone 00 and channels line incident 10 etc? I was reading past posts and I was confused what changed after encryption was turned off.

Fire/EMS Talkgroups

District of Columbia Fire and EMS operates phase 1 talkgroups. Talkgroups 101 (Dispatch) and 102 (Main) are found in the first two positions in every zone. It is listed only as 01 DISP and 02 MAIN so they are not duplicated, although in the field they may be called or listed as 0A01, 0B01. Talkgroups are called "Zero Alpha, Zero Bravo" etc as they are broken down into three zones/banks

Thanks. I think i have it down now.

looks like 4 zones - zero + zero alpha + zero bravo + zero charlie

and ch 4 and ch 8 are not listed for the first 3 zones - maybe are conventional channels

 

[N4VKF]

Yes from what i understand they are conventional P25 channels to link the mobile repeaters. I am assuming in battalion or command vehicles.

I think zero hotel are the hospital groups.

Is the Zero Bravo and zero C zone encrypted?

my guess is that everything listed as "DE" in Post 2 is encrypted
