Testing

New TG 03-101 testing today unknown what it is used for.

 

[rdale]

03-101 is the new countywide EVENT 1. I think I heard there were 15 of them coming, they were used operationally for the hospital exercise a week or two ago. 02-101 is just for testing the new Tower 2.

 

[emtroberts]

So event 1 is for all police, fire and ems?

 

[rdale]

Not sure of the name, but yes, all radios either have those new event channels or will soon...

mattmil13 - as mentioned above they were testing the tower 002. That tower was added to provide better coverage for units operating in that area, it will only have a subset of talkgroups (that's why it has less frequencies.) Don't program it in your scanner.

 

[MilbourM]

Thanks Alot For your Help

Highly suggest using the AFS format as it makes things easier to decode on the fly. That is the simulcast that triggers for a dispatch, if you only want to hear them you can lock out the main Meridian FD talkgroup and you'll only hear dispatches.

 

[MilbourM]

thanks alot

for AFS Format what is the difrence between the AFS and the DEC Modes Besides the - in the middle as in how do you read the AFS format is it anything like the LTR systems TG IDs.
Thanks

You can see in the list on the database here, most 02's are police, 03's mutual aid, 04's fire, 05's dispatch, 08's Clinton Co, etc. Not an exact relation, but close.

 

[MilbourM]

with the TG for the dispaches only does that work with all of the fire toneouts or just meridian fire
Thanks
Matt

Many, hit lockout when you hear a toneout of interest on the dispatch channel and if it shows up with a 05- then you have the ticket.

 

[MilbourM]

rdale-
do you know what departments have that tone out only TG or is it all of them

 

[rdale]

Not offhand, when you hear a dispatch on FIRE MAIN then press LOCKOUT and see if another talkgroup comes up. If so - yes. If not - no. Then unlock FIRE MAIN.

 

[emtroberts]

05-132 is meridian fire patch to VHF 154.100.

 

[MilbourM]

05-137 That is east lansing fire
05-105 sounds like firemain?

 

[scannerman5000]

05-105 is a simulcast on Fire Main.

some out-county fire departments use plectrons or whatever you call them, and dispatch uses the patch to activate them.

I dont know why departments dont just buy new UHF plectrons and use fire main's conventional frequency (460.600) for dispatch.
