Sorry I have one more question, If the Las Vegas Fire is on a trunked system how come the LV police arent either? Have they thought about joining it?

The Southern Nevada Area Communications Council, aka the SNACC system here, covers Clark County and about 18 agencies use the same exact radio system which makes for great coverage and excellent inter-agency operability. One example earlier during this event was when the Henderson battalion chief was calling Dispatch just by switching to the CCFD (Clark County FD) talkgroup. One system, and everyone's on it, makes for incredible ease of use.
Just now they released the Henderson units so the overhaul is going well and they pretty much have an entire knockdown but the searching continues.
You can see some of the stuff on this one single system from the RR database page:
http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=669
That's not everything, however, as there are over 370 talkgroups on this one system alone. I just have the Police on a secondary system just for that purpose and it's disabled at the moment so I could narrow it down just to the 4 main TAC channels in use and I lock out whatever appears as required to keep it just to those 4.
Most of the traffic happening is on CCFD Zone 3 TAC 6, some traffic on TAC 7, TAC 8 is being used for rehab and food/water supplies, TAC 9 is mostly outside activity (outside the hotel).
The Las Vegas City Police Dept are the bastards of the lot: they refuse to sign on to the SNACC system for whatever stupid reasons they have. They signed a contract with MA/COM a few years back to move to their hardware/system, but nothing has come of it so far. They're still in the VHF range for pretty much all their traffic. It's stupid to have 98% of the entire county on the same radio system with no issues and yet the LVPD just dares to be different. Who knows...

Yes, the LVMPD wants total control over any system they choose to use and I suspect they really do not care about interoperability. Of course the LVMPD does not care one bit about spending unnecessary taxpayer money. If the management of the LVMPD had common sense they would have joined the SNACC system, but I guess it's lacking. Just my thoughts.

KUTV from Salt Lake City has a newsman and camera crew in Las Vegas and they have filed this video news report. It is probably old video to y'all by now, but you may be interested in watching it.

Well, as of 2:29PM it seems they're basically holding some meeting down at command central, I'll let the stream go for a bit longer but expect it to go offline by 3PM unless something else happens. I hope whoever tuned in got at least some of the action...

Ok, taking it down at 3:04PM Pacific.
Have fun, always...
I have the entire Unitrunker/246T video file also if anyone wants it just for the helluvit. 3 hours, 38 minutes, 3 seconds, 85.4MB video file so you can see what was going on, more or less, with Unitrunker catching all the control channel activity and most of the RIDs labeled. If anyone is interested, just ask and I'll post it someplace.

If anyone is interested, that's a link to the video I made using Unitrunker and BC246T Advanced Scanner Control. Windows Media Player was the encoder, Audigy feeding Unitrunker the control channel from an old tapped BC-700A, obviously my 246T providing the voice comms.
Click that link, on the page that loads will be a tiny grayish button in the middle that says "Download Your File Here" which gets you the video file. Save to your drive and watch it with the video player of your choice. Obviously it's a Windows Media Video file.

Thanks for the feed.
BTW there are plenty of free services out there than can take a 16kbps single feed, and are able to re-stream it to 40+ users at high speed out of a data center.
So for a 24/7 feed you don't have to have high bandwidth. I've even fed special events with dial-up.
I'm waiting for the big earthquake so I can try satellite dial up

Monte Carlo command terminated at 21:16 this evening. One engine remaining behind for some additional duties but all units returned to normal service as of 21:16.
What a day in Vegas...
Didn't realize such "streaming repeaters" existed, go figure. Got any more info about those kinds of services?
