I didn't see any patch IDs on OP25.

I’m pretty sure the automated dispatch (tac 16) for HCFR is TDMA. I noticed it’s labeled FDMA in the database. Can anybody confirm this?

Hi everyone, just programmed my friends G4 for HC, im in NY and shipped it to him. I saw all the channels are "red" from the database? Are they all control channels? Hoping its correct lol.

Yes it’s a Harris P25 system all CC’’s must be entered.

OP25 is showing it's TDMA.

Just as I suspected, all other HCFR talkgroups are working on a phase 1 radio.

 

[CanesFan95]

Well, I'm also seeing HCFR Tac 2 (10546) is TDMA.

Strange I’ve heard them before. Maybe it’s new. What else are you seeing TDMA for HCFR?

 

[CanesFan95]

Now I'm seeing HCFR Tac 2 as FDMA. So maybe it changes depending on something. How and when this system decides when to use Phase I / II has always been a mystery.

That’s possible

Like with every other P25 system, if an older Phase I-only radio affiliates with what is normally a Phase II talkgroup, the entire talkgroup reverts to Phase I.

So it’s plausible that older radios (or newer radios without the Phase II feature string installed) are being used.

It’s only happening on Tac 2 from time to time, but you’re right. I noticed this on an older XTS, of course on my XL-200’s and APX8000’s it’s not a problem and I never would have known.

 

[junior71]

Any updates on the rest of the tacs for HCFR?

Tac 4 is 10548
Tac 6 is 10550
Tac 8 is 10552

There are confirmed.

Anybody know tac 9 and tac 10

I noticed tac 11 takes a big jump in numbers and they were using that yesterday during a working fire.

 

[zlandmedia]

If those are confirmed, submit them to the database if you haven't already done so

 

[junior71]

Just a heads up the database says Tampa Fire is TDMA that is incorrect they are running FDMA.

 

[zlandmedia]

Just to make sure, are we sure it isn't due to a radio keying up as FDMA? See Ryan's post above.

 

[junior71]

Been running all day on a XTS5000 side by side with my APX80000 it’s been FDMA all day. No TDMA.

 

[CanesFan95]

Tampa Fire Rescue has a unit called "Video 1". Anyone know what this is?

Exactly what it says. I believe.
