Metro Net Frequency Changes?

[gabrielm]

Hi all:

I’ve heard a couple recent fires dispatched for Fullerton (through Metro Net), but they’re no longer running them on 2N or 2M. It was hard to hear the auto-dispatch voice, but it sounded like maybe they were using 2C? Does anyone know if this is a temporary change or what’s happening? I’m not sure if it’s affecting other Metro Net cities. Any intel appreciated.

I have seen multiple people mentioning this recently. I sent a request over to ask about it, will follow up if they decide to get back to me.

All OC fire agencies are moving to a command and tac channel for fires and other significant incidents. OC and a few Metro cities have already started.
Incidents will start on the Charlie TG's (2C, 3C, 4C and 5C) and the tacs should still be on the November TG's.

I'm assuming they will still be encrypted and only available on streaming with a time delay?

Currently, Fullerton is dispatching in 2C for command and 2O for tac. Neither of these are streamed, though. Do you know if they will be?

I do not.

Update: I did speak to someone at Metronet. They said that the County (OCFA) is making changes to the fleetmap assignments. They said they were doing testing by shifting units to 2C, and the test phase is scheduled to wrap up this month. The actual permanent changes will happen later this year, and when they do, they said they are committed to ensuring that any new structure fire frequencies are added to Broadcastify. I hope that’s the case!

Too bad when they update they just don’t turn the encryption off too.
