Merced County TRS?

[ECPD279]

I have heard that Merced County is on a trunked radio system. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Also, if they are and anyone has the info please post it to the database.

Thanks

Thanks Grumpy, do you know if the system is active?

Yes it is active.

I confirmed all the frequencies on 2-27-04 during my most boring night at work. You know Graveyard shift 2200-0600.

Merced SO - Trunker files

The Merced SO system has not changed in years. Correct fleetmap is E1-P2. Control channels are licensed to Fresno Mobile Radio. Following is trunker log from last week:

Merced SO - Type I
MAP=????????
OPTIONS=nvDf
PLAN=8
DESCR=Type II 105.88 Hz
THRESHOLD=50
DISPOSITION=abcbdbfulxpbsr
v851.7125,1c,ffff,17
c 856.2375,d1,ffff,0
c 857.2375,f9,ffff,0
v858.2375,121,ffff,1813
v859.2375,149,ffff,17c6
v860.2375,171,ffff,190
cd 862.7125,1d4,ffff,0
d 864.7125,224,ffff,0
d 865.7125,24c,ffff,0

The 851.7125 seems to be odd. I never heard any traffic on it while I was monitoring and it is not licensed to the County. Maybe it is licensed to Fresno Mobile Radio. At one time there were 000-xx talkgroups with commercial traffic, mostly habla espanol, but I have not heard these for years. They used different voice frequencies than the SO, but all used the same control channels. I have not researched the licensing for this freq. Monitoring was in the evenings, so there may not have been any commercial traffic while I was monitoring.

Correct TG's are:
600-2 Roads
600-7 Animal Control
600-11 Transit buses
600-12 unk
700-1 SO Dispatch Ch 1 "5100" units
700-2 SO Secondary Ch 2
700-5 SO Detention
700-8 Atwater PD "500" units
700-9 Probation "Paul" units
700-10 SO Detention tactical
700-12 SO Tactical Ch 12

Using this fleetmap the TG's will correspond to the channel numbers.
