Im confused

Just the birthing process of the system and the re-education of the users...for further info see the other EDACS OKC threads.

oSutrooper this might sound familiar, "We're working on it."

On a daily basis lol.....i really love the skip that we have been having

So you can have skip on 800 Mhz T.R.S??

 

[oSutrooper]

I wanna say that most of it is bleedover from the other divisions but since there are still
a lot of people with old radios we tend to get skip on them when the moon is right

Yes, you can have "skip" or rather ducting on 800.

It can really screw up a data channel.....

The users won't hear it, but the system will.

Oh ok got thanks..

From time to time there's a helicopter-ambulance service that bleeds over on the Creek Co 800 talkgroup. I heard it alot on the console when I worked there, and have since heard it a couple times on my scanner. kinda weird!

Well I was told that's one of the pro's of 800Mhz T.R.S. say if your clearing a house on a Closed T.G. You could clear it with no noise ( I.E. Repeater I.D. or Skip Etc.) giving away
your 10-20.

Is this not right??

Generally this is correct but if there is a fluke and what ever just happens to be ducting has the same id and happens to get a TG then it could happen.
This is far less common than what trooper is talking about. We get skip on the VHF side which locks up the 800 TG's because of the links. Given that the system is EDACS and not Moto then it SHOULD be even less common since the data information is different. The more common problem would be something bleeding over into the data channel receive making it harder to hear the field units. Unlike the Moto systems the data channel on EDACS can migrate to any frequency pair on the system which should make life a little easier in the event of some kind of interference.

lol, I agree that the average officer doesn't care and/or need to know how their radio system operates; but it sure is funny when someone who knows squat about something pretends they're an expert and end up showing how uneducated they really are. :lol:

I agree Phil, when my old department came on line with 800 all the
deputies knew what to do was how to do a private call, change the
channels and PTT (Push to Talk). I went to training on the system and learned some of the technical aspects of the system.(i.e. How
the site controller searched the system for an open repeater to put
the transmission on. Plus how the repeaters worked together in the
system) The hard part I had to do was show a bunch of the jail dy's
on how the radios worked as simply as possible. Without going into
the technical stuff. (i.e.) Change the channels and explain what PTT
was. lol

I wish someone would teach the yahoos at David L Moss (Tulsa Co jail) how to change channels properly; it's a hoot when you here one of them on the State or NE Regional Mutual aide talkgroup calling for master-control over, and over again getting more and more frustrated b/c no one one answers them :lol: I used to scan the SMAs & RMAs at Creek CO and we'd just laugh and laugh then call Regional or master console and let them know about it.:twisted:

Got it thanks I Still Love MOTO..

But you would tell them Right??

 

[red8]

It was easy the jail radios did not have the dispatch consoles programmed in they had the Prison Comm Center but not the dispatch channels or mutual aid in them. So that was easy.

 

[freqscout]

Got it thanks I Still Love MOTO..

I don't even care to go down that road again...
Those are interesting differences between the systems though.

 

[car2back]

yeah, once we called regional console, they'd switch over to the SMA and let them know...:lol:

Ok, good man..
