EBRCS: Alameda Sheriff

[kg6nlw]

So we know from the database that these two dispatch channels cover the listed below areas, but where does ACSO DSP3 dispatch? Emeryville, Berkeley, Oakland, Albany, Alameda City, and more seem to not have an ACSO dispatcher?? Does anyone know?


Dispatch 1 - Eden Township
Dispatch 2 - AC Transit / Children's Hospital / Dublin (7# Units) / Highland Hospital / Oakland Airport (9# Units) / Peralta Community College Distrct

I don't listen to them often but I don't think Dispatch 3 is active normally. I don't believe they dispatch for any city that has their own police department. In Dublin, as you may know, the city contracts with the s.o. for service. What you have listed for Dispatch 1 and 2 is correct from what I have heard.

I'm aware they wouldn't normally dispatch for say Emeryville/Berkeley/Oakland PD, but I'm thinking of the areas that are County territory in that area but not City territory covered.

Thanks! I'll make ACSO 3 my primary listening channel when I'm out that way unless someone says different.

There are no unincorporated areas bordering Albany/Berkeley/Emeryville/Alameda as these cities are all packed tightly together. There are fewer "island" cities like in Sonoma County.

Most of the unincorporated area is in the east county surrounding Livermore/Pleasanton, with a smaller area protruding into the west county (consisting of Castro Valley and San Lorenzo).

Fair enough, but I do know I've seen ACSO units in those areas...They have to use a Dispatch/Service channel yeah? I'm trying to find out which one it is so I know for future trips what I should be listening to.

Probably AC Transit contract deputies. They are often in Oakland and other cities where the bus runs. They would be on Dispatch 2. If they are civil deputies delivering papers to people, then Dispatch 1. So, listen to both I guess. I listened on Dispatch 3 the other day for an hour with no activity.

Thank you! I guess I'll keep all three then.

Hello. hiegtx from the Uniden tech forum mentioned to ask questions in this forum regarding asking about finding the dispatch and law tac channelss/frequency listings, (dispatch, Tac 1,2 etc), on RR for the Dublin Sheriff Dept, (Alameda County, Cal). He helped immensely with getting the info for the San Ramon Sheriff Dept, (Contra Costa County), which was a mice-maze to find since it was seperate from the main listings. Now I am trying to find the correct dispatch and LAW Tac channels for Dublin, CA, Sheriff, (Alameda County Sheriff), from RR to include in Sentinel. I hope someone had onfo othat listens to otheis aea and might be able to help out. I appreciate the help with this and find that these forums have a large wealth of help and info. Thank you again for any help that you can provide. Take care and stay safe and well. Mike

East Bay Regional Communications System (EBRCS) Trunking System, Various, California

East Bay Regional Communications System (EBRCS) Trunking System Profile

www.radioreference.com

Listed under Alameda County Sheriff. San Ramon Police is listed under San Ramon.

ALCO Sheriff Dispatch 1 is for patrol for the unincorporated areas of Alameda County ( mainly San Lorenzo, Ashland, Castro Valley, Sunol). Dispatch 2 is for contract agencies (Dublin Police, AC Transit, Peralta College, Oakland Intl Airport- may be others). Tac 7 is used for parking lot security at OAK Intl Airport.

Thank you for the reply. I have found a channel for San Ramon and heard calls on Sat when I was visiting friends there.. It sounded like out of the several calls I heard, were dispatch to car and back, but a few of them were dispatch to car, and there was no reply and then dispatch would continue with the call like they WERE hearing from the car, but it wasn't going over the air. San Ramon is Sheriff , (Contra Costa County), and is showing under East Bay Communications (EBRCS) trunking system. I noticed that Officer_415 mentioned that San Ramon was showing under Alameada County Sheriff. Now, I am getting confused again with all this newer technology for sure. So I will have to take another look under that area then to see if there is more to include for San Ramon, but I still want to find the Dublin Sheriff channels as well, because I travel through there usually on my way home to San MAteo COunty. (So San Francisco). Sharing technology saves a lot of money but does make things a little more confusing for me. Thank you again for the help. Mike

Mongoosmike: If you wish to listen to the Alameda County Sheriff while traveling from San Ramon to South S.F., listen to Dispatch 2 as you enter Alameda County in the Dublin area, then switch to Dispatch 1 when on 580 westbound towards Castro Valley.

I did not say that. You asked where to find the "dispatch and LAW Tac channels for Dublin, CA, Sheriff, (Alameda County Sheriff)" and I responded that they were listed under Alameda County Sheriff.

If you go to California > Contra Costa County > Cities > San Ramon you will find the frequencies for San Ramon Police​

If you go to California > Alameda County > Sheriff you will find the frequencies for the Alameda County Sheriff​

Both agencies are on the EBRCS system. You will need to program it as a P25 system.

For San Ramon Police, you will need to program the Site 5 (CCCO Central) frequencies and San Ramon talkgroups.​

For Alameda County Sheriff, you will need to program the Site 1 (ALCO Southwest), Site 2 (ALCO East), and Site 4 (ALCO Northwest) frequencies and Alameda County Sheriff talkgroups.​

I have an hpe file that shows my last saved file from a little while ago where I unavoided all the CCCO ALCO listings from the (EBRCS) listing, so it is showing the CCCO and the San Ramon channels are already in the favorites and it should be already listing it as P-25, or not? But maybe you can clarify if there is anything else I need to add or change to make sure it is correct. I am not sure what is meant by making sure it is P-25 system but it was appended from the P-25 listing, so I thought it should already be correct. ALCO SWEST and EAST are already there, as well as ALCO Southwest Simulcast. Those were all there from about 2 weeks ago and just the other night I added the 5 San Ramon frequency listings under San Ramon, Police ch 2, 3, 4,5 and dispatch in sentinel. Thank you again, and sorry for the typo regarding you mentioning the listing earlier, and I typo'd the wrong name in the listing and transposed San Ramon and Alameda when referring to you mentioning the listings were under Alameda County Sheriff.

[QUOTE="Mongoosmike, post: 3798685,
I was wondering if someone would be able to look at the HPE file and advise if I have the San Ramon and Alameda P-24 listings correctly added to be listening to dispatch for San Ramon, Dublin and Alameda Sheriff Depts. Or, what else I need to change as it was mentioned in an answer from a previous post, that I needed to program it as a P-25 system. I have never done that so I would need advice on how, OR, if appending the channels from the P-25 system automatically selecteed the system correctly. Thank you again for all your help.

Anyone else having issues with EBRCS P25 ID 3705 Dispatch 1 Law Enforcement ACSO? I've got Dispatch 2 -3707 coming in loud and clear but Dispatch 1 is dead. I can listen to the channel if I use the Scanner app on my cellphone the channel is working there. I can also listen to it on Broadcastify but I can't listen to it on my scanner Radio Shack P106. I use ARC500pro Radioreference.com build 93.
Maybe they know something I don't know.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

It probably switched to Phase 2/TDMA

It probably switched to Phase 2/TDMA

Can you tell me how to make the necessary changes to switch to 2/TDMA either by manual input or using Radioreference with ARC500?

Thank you for your response.

 

[Oakland_Tower]

At the moment I'm hearing normal traffic, phase 1, on TG 3705 on the SW site.

Your Pro-106 isn’t capable of Phase 2, but according to the post above it’s still Phase 1. Are you still not receiving it?
