Is this correct now? Why is 153.95 the input to 3 different repeaters? Why is 153.62 labeled as Gold and as Yellow? When is Red used vs Tac 1 and Tac 2? Is 154.43 used to talk to portable radios on ambulances? Inquiring minds yadda .....
The green, red, and yellow/gold channels are classified as command channels. In the case of green and red, these are called that over the radio. Our local fire terminology call a command channel is a channel that the IC or single resource at an incident uses to communicate with dispatch. Now this can vary per incident and per department or district. A tac channel is like the old "fireground" channel and many times still so referred. This channel normally has no link to the dispatcher (again local protocols or the situation may dictate otherwise). This leaves a channel or more on larger incidents for incident operations and dispatch need not worry if they miss traffic directed to them. Dispatch is normally contacted on the command channel.
Busier departments may have a dispatch only channel, others like Fresno, runs some command traffic on their dispatch moving the larger incidents to a different command channel.
I can only conjecture on the one input being listed for 3 separate repeaters. I did see in looking as the FCC license that both tac channels as licensed for repeater or simplex use.
What maybe used and only our Fresno insiders can help, is that these tac repeaters are normally simplex and used only as repeaters when necessary as in a wide area incident. Each repeater in such a case would have an unique input pl that is responds to. Again only a lame guess. These are such low level frequencies that I have yet to hear them in operation. All I get on Tac 1 is Sac Fire's VHF duplexing their dispatches. I used to even get Porterville on that frequency, but now just the north country. So much for my being able to find the pl's for the tac channels this way.
I will try to remember to check in my department radio load for any discrepancies (and may help the multiple repeaters with one input question).
As to your Gold vs Yellow looks like either an transition or the one is an older listing, waiting for an update to be completed.
