It will be interesting if/what TG they patch EMS to. Squad 12 uses EMS Interoperability for determining their crew.

I would think being a full time patch from Lakewoods P25 conventional to the OC TRS system, it would be more beneficial to define a patch TG.

Squad 12 can get entertaining, being that they unofficially dispatch on OC interop's ppl will get on the channel and ask them to stop speaking.

They had a DMR channel before migrating to OC TRS, I am also surprised that they didn’t get their own talkgroup. I am not a system planner, so I don’t know if there are underlying things to take into consideration when deploying a new talkgroup.

DMR

EMS-Tac

Squad 12 has a DMR channel that they would use after dispatch (not to be dispatched) where they would coordinate what crews would respond. Once they moved to OC TRS, they could no longer use that VHF channel on their new P25 radios, so now they use EMS Interoperability.

2/2/2022 getting digital noise on EMS 453.6500

 

[allie1226]

Ok just got unit 540 on 453.6500 nac 398 Radio test! sounds good

 

[fireman_dude]

Okay so question, since Lakewood is staying on the same FQ, what parameters do I need to change in my Home Patrol II to get them over to P25 and will they be using TG's ? Does anyone now if the Database has already been updated with the new information ? Thank you.

 

[elias1988]

They’re both using P25 conventional with NAC 398 that should be added to programming.

Hmmm.WPAC577. Can’t find any digital designator’s yet.👀

Haven't heard Lakewood Fire on County Fire Interop in a few days. Are they still patch on it?

 

[lynchy135]

I am not sure how patching two systems work, but it could be that the patch is only operational when a radio is on and subscribed to the fire interop talkgroup, and no one has been on it in a while.

yes you are correct and however the radio techs have it setup,EMS was patched to it also the other day.

 

[policefreak]

Ok thanks. Has there been any proposal to have Lakewood FD or EMS move to County 700 full-time?

 

[elias1988]

Not that I know of,their new radios are capable though.

Ok. Interesting. Has anyone gotten an idea how far back towards Pemberton you can pick up Lakewood FD digital using say a SDS100 or even a Unication G2?

Wow, that's going to be some nice chief truck for $120 thousand.

We had a cheif truck near where I used to live that had over $30k in just comms equipment. It had like 4 APX 8500s, 2 APX 8000HXEs, a vehicular repeater, a satellite phone and a bunch of other stuff. I don't know the final total on the vehicle but I bet it was at least $130-150k. It was completely unnecessary for their department's uses but they had more money than they knew what to do with apparently.
