Sounds good, Thanks. I have a couple of logs when they are on the East site. I haven't listened to the recordings but I bet they are when en-route to SRJ.
It was moved. I thought I'd be nice and not delete it like posts are supposed to be per my past posts.
This is how it should work:
Update thread gets updates.
Question thread gets questions.

Contra Costa East TGID 7728
I don't see this listed in the DB. The units refer to it as "Control 8". Sounds like it could be animal control of some sort. Referred to a 10-91. Anyone other EBRCS's confirm? Almost certain it's animal control. One unit referred to heading back to the shelter for a meeting.

Yes. It is Contra Costa Animal Control. I'll add it to the DB.
FYI this thread is mainly for questions related to programming / reception issues. Please use the update thread for discussions on new TGs /activity.

I dont know much exactly about how the systems links together with each site, but if I point a yagi antenna at the Fremont PD site, will I still be able to listen to what ever is on the ALCO southwest site, like ALCO fire?
Yes, you'll get it all. I think ALCO fire and Paramedics Plus will be online soon. Lots of testing yesterday on fire tacs and hospital ringdowns.

Under the ALCO fire section, there are command channels, and tac channels? Whats the difference?

Has COCO Fire and SRV gone live on the system yet. I hear them on the VHF but wondering if it's being simulcasted yet.
Also as far as Berkeley Fire and Albany. For those using trunker, is Berkeley being broadcasted on all sites or juston NW site?
Any sign of OFD being simulcasted/patched?

They are following the adopted protocols originated in the wildland ICS world. Some systems designate separate Command and tactical talkgroups. Other systems just designate a grouping of talkgroups for fire use and let the dispatch centers assign as needed.

Thanks @K6CDO
One more question, though not sure if specific to the scanner or the EBRCS system. I always miss the very first 1-2 seconds of a transmission on my 996xt and the 396XT. I program them using the same files so I am guessing it is a setting of some sort? Example: I usually hear ALCO fire doing the "beep-beep" tones when dispatching a call, but now I only hear the very last beep. Is there some setting to fix this?

COCO is still using VHF, which is being simulcasted into EBRCS, Not sure if SRV is using the system or if they are still simulcasting also.
I don't hear in the CoCo Central Site.

Question ... does anyone know the estimated time Con Fire will switch to full time EBRCS usage and stop VHF channel usage? Also the remaining PD's in CCC, e.g. Brentwood, Antioch; ... eta for their cutover? Thanks!
Last I was there several weeks ago, Berkeley FD was on the ALCO NW simulcast zone and still simulcasting on their VHF frequency. Oakland Fire is still on the Oakland Harris P25 system, and still sounds (mostly) terrible.

Fremont PD and Alameda county fire dept having issues with the EBRCS radio system right now, anyone else here any other agencies having issues right now? (around 7:50pm)
I was monitoring Union City PD when the units lost contact with their dispatcher. Sounds like it was at least all of the SW cell, if not the whole system. The dispatcher was back in a few minutes, but the units were able to talk to each other in the meantime. They had a "980" hot search for a felon at the time too!

Yep, Livermore went down Today and last week. Today dispatch said to switch to old system channel f21 and listen for roll call.

Fremont PD had an officer call for code 3 backup while the system was down. Huge issues getting info from the officer because of that. The guy was 5150 and in handcuffs after a few officers showed up.
I live in the Concord/Clayton area. Does anyone have issues with CPD intermittently going dark? I am trying to figure out whether or not this is a scanner related issue or if it is a system related issue. I never had this issue with the analogue signal on my Ham.
I am currently using a Homepatrol, I've checked my settings, tried different antennas, called "tech support" and I;'ve even sent it it. When I a receiving it picks up crystal clear and then I will hear nothing for long periods of time.
