RR DB has been updated with the recent submissions for HCFR.
I just heard 65344 on Hills P-25 it's a patch between plant city & Hillsborough Sheriffs' office
Is anyone out there using a 536 to listen to P25? My 3 536's are not picking it up. Trying to get my feeds back up.

Remember that this is a simulcast system, and the BCD536HP is susceptible to simulcast distortion. You may have to give in and upgrade those to SDS200s or Unication pagers.
I have a 100, 200 and 2 G5's. I guess I will break down and but a couple of 200's.

I honestly still think there's 2 separate dispatch channels, not hearing any multicasting. Based on looking up the station numbers on a map, I think it's:
TG 10542 HCFR North Dispatch
TG 10545 HCFR South Dispatch
I continue to disagree, respectfully. “North dispatch” is just dispatch. Just heard a call for 28 (Ruskin) dispatched on 10542. Your “south dispatch” is Tac 1. All units on the east half of the county switch there after dispatch for status updates. Likewise, 10546 is Tac 2, used by the west units in the same fashion. All calls countywide are dispatched on 10542 with a human and on Tac 16, testing with automated voice. I’ve seen the code plug, nothing has changed since EDACS. The east/west format follows the way the radio system is designed as east/west systems. What are you monitoring the system with if I may ask?

On the EDACS DB page, the old TG 545 had a description of "Fire Tactical 1 - Fire/Rescue Dispatch"
In my time of listening I never did hear dispatch calls to that TG, but is there perhaps any history/reason why that TG was labeled as such?
The P25 side does not list 10545 as having any dispatch.

Simply a case of being mislabeled by the person who submitted the data.
I mean, semantics aside, you could hear a dispatch on one of the tac channels if a unit that is already on a call clears and is immediately put on another call by the tac dispatcher.
But all initial dispatching is on 10542.

Well, I've monitored on OP25 and thought I was hearing dispatches on both 10542 and 10545. So I posted I think it was North and South since that was the pattern I was seeing by looking up the station numbers on an online map. But who knows. So you've seen the actual codeplug from a user radio?

In my opinion not having lived in Hills Co. for the last 20 + years the way it worked on VHF was all stations North of Tampa and West of Tampa were considered west Hillsborough
Lutz #24 N. Hillsborough #14 etc.
all Stations East or South were considered East Hillsborough Ex. Thonosassa #21 East Lake # 32 etc.
Back in the day, they were on 2 different channels. On Edac they were on 2 different channels for the initial Dispatch .

Does anyone know if Tampa Fire is using alphanumeric pagers? I know HCFR is on 929.8875, but not sure about TFR.

Well, I'm trying to find their exact frequency but having no luck. Can you help?

That's what I'm copying right now. Here's what I've figured out so far:
17002 School Buses Spanish
17004 School Buses Area 4
17005 School Buses Area 8
17008 School Buses Maintenance
17011 School Buses Field Trips K6
17015 School Buses Area 3
17016 School Buses
17017 School Buses Area 6
17018 School Buses Area 7
17024 School Buses Field Trips K6
The Area Numbers don't seem to go in order. On TGs 17011 & 17024, the dispatcher calls themself "K6".

K6 is central operations at the garage in Thonotosassa. They operate on all channels.

That's helpful information. That might explain why I was hearing the same dispatcher on 17011 and 17024 which I suspect were multicasting on the West & East systems.
I am fairly sure that in my time monitoring the Orange County trunk (Orlando) that in the AM I've observed that they have several of the Bus transportation groups patched together... Perhaps Tampa is doing something similar?
