Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System (LA-RICS) - Master Thread

[patin]

So I just heard LASD dispatch 6 for San Dimas in the clear on RICS while scanning the East Simulcast 470MHz site - unit went code 9 and the patch was open; not sure if that had anything to do with it, but regardless I'm so glad to see Luna has kept the dispatch TGs in the clear.

I haven't heard any other station. Anybody else here anything?

Yup I'm picking them up on the south site DISPATCH 6

Yeah sometimes SCC will have one dispatcher working several stations throughout the county. My situation earlier was a Pico Rivera unit but I was hearing it on SD/Walnut. Glad to hear this though, man!

I can say the ANALOG is clearer than the DIGITIAL
But sounds good on my APX7000

My UNIDEN 436 not picking up anything even though I have just on DISPATCH 6 but APX7000 picking up all traffic

That's funny you say that. I thought the same thing. I wonder if they're still tweaking some of the settings as far as audio quality goes because it did sound like crap. My SDS100 was claiming zero digital decoding errors, too, so it's not likely to get any better!

I can't wait until we can hear Palmdale and Lancaster calls - stuff is crazy up there! Can you confirm that you're hearing LASD dispatch without the busy tone? The ONE time I've heard anything the patch was open so I don't know how normal comms are going to sound...

Yup no busy tone not capable on digital but I'm hearing DISPATCH 15,,,13,,,14 ,,,3 depending on SCC DISPATCH on the LA-RICS

Okay so program my g5 on desert 700 and can come firm Lancaster and Palmdale tacs are up on new system Lancaster ltac is still patched but both channels on new system are encrypted.

Not hearing any busy tones on Dispatch 2 - West Hollywood Station on the 480 mhz UHF-2 conventional system

 

[tsalmrsystemtech]

Hearing no busy tones on some of the conventional side of Dispatch on the 480mhz side

 

[patin]

Seems DISPATCH 13 is the continuous frequency in operation and other random depending on SCC how many channels the dispatcher has

 

[patin]

LA-RICS DISPATCH 6 is back on depending what DISPATCHER has it will hearing other stations,,,,,seems DISPATCH 13 is the main I guess for testing

There has been activity on LACoFD Air Ops (testing? Wasn’t paying much attention) in the clear this afternoon…

 

[bcorbin]

More quick testing on LACoFD Admin in the clear...

 

[Engine104]

Both LACoFD Air Ops and Admin, per the database, will be DE, once the system gets going.

Unless the DB is wrong… 8*)

We can hope... Losing the LASD L-Tacs bugs me too, but what can you do?

Some of the sites listed in the RRDB LA-RICS section read, "Simulcast". Does that mean there could be reception issues related to that with scanners other than the SDS series? Also, I am located in the NW San Fernando Valley. Which site might be the best for me to monitor?

I feel it's hit and miss with the uniden 436 for me but my APX7000 picks up always
Like AERO BURUEAU,,LACO FIRE 8 but the scanner sometimes
