LCRA Wilson County

[NC5267]

16537 is patched to the 155.550 repeater. FPD, Poth PD , and fire tone outs.

Haven't seen the Sheriff channel 155.6625 patched yet.

 

[tkowalik]

137.37 Floresville is currently up.

 

[tkowalik]

16547 is Fire 1. Not sure if dedicated to ESD1 or a countywide Fire 1.

Already starting to get a picture of the other TGs based on RIDs.

Have you submitted to RR?

Have you submitted to RR?

I haven’t submitted TGs yet. Waiting for them to bring it online and confirm TGs. I’m sending the towers as they come online.

 

[NC5267]

I bet the SO is waiting for the rest of the towers to be online before patching their VHF P25 channel. So far, it looks like they will keep things the same way. The SO and La Vernia are on one channel. FPD, Poth PD on another. I guess they like two separate dispatch channels for some reason.

Digital is patched into 16502 right now on Floresville tower.

140.40 Stockdale is up.

 

[NC5267]

Hearing traffic on 16538. Patched from VHF. Sounds like traffic stops in La Vernia. Plus a fire tone out in the town. Are putting little La Vernia on their own channel?

They've been on the county sheriff channel for over a decade.

 

[tkowalik]

Analog is patched now to 16538. They were doing test tones on 16537 and 16538 from the new console on Friday. First time I’ve seen the new RID from dispatch.

 

[NC5267]

Have you heard any La Vernia PD on 16538? I head a traffic stop on Hwy 97 in La Vernia. Last I saw they were patched to the SO channel through there own P25 repeater.

Digital is patched to 16502. LV has been on there.

 

[Sanscanman]

97 is in Floresville and runs from Stockdale to Pleasanton. Sounds like that was a Floresville PD Unit

 

[tkowalik]

Wilson is live as of today.

16501 WCSO North (with LVPD/Stockdale Marshal)
16502 WCSO South (with Poth/Floresville)
16538 WC Fire/EMS Alarm (dispatch)

Word on the street is TGs will evolve.

 

[tkowalik]

I will be the first to say it sounds great and should have happened 20 years ago. Never thought I would see the day. Finally.

Database is updated. Based on the Calls logs, it appears that 16501 is standalone LCRA while 16502 is still linked to 155.6625, and 16538 is linked to 155.5500, but law enforcement has vacated VHF and left it to Fire/EMS only.

With that said the majority of the calls are coming from LCRA unit IDs but since the repeater has a hang time, the patch ID is coming through a lot with short calls.

 

[tkowalik]

Looks like 16547 is Fire 1, 16551 is EMS 1, and 16519 is possibly LVPD eventually (unsure).

Response channels on the first two? Or Tac channels?

Sounds like Tac. They’ve been referred to as Fire 1 and EMS 1.

The 16519 was LVPD trying to reach dispatch a few times for radio check but never acknowledged so not sure if maybe had the wrong channel.

Also sounds like countywide, ESD1 was using at one point then ESD2 was using for a separate call.
