So I used to live here at one time and enjoyed listening to the OCFD. At the time (96-99), stations were toned out via DTMF on 155.0550 (DTMF was the station number followed by a # sign, later 2 #s, i.e. "11##" for Station 11). Voice was all on 453.xxxx with some channels being set up to cover certain rural areas (similar to the "outer ring" with the EDACS system).
Anyway, now that I have the EDACS in as "wide" and can actually hear stuff :roll: I seem to be hearing different things on the dispatch channel (04-022 / "FD ALERTS"). One time it will be "bee boop bop bee boop" but other times it will sound like a two-tone pager-type tone. What's up with that?
Also, I seem to hear analog on the "FD OPS" TG (04-021). Only the HQ side, never the mobiles. What's up with *that*?
