Of course you don't.

So, what exactly are you asking? You told us you don't like listening to medical calls, but like fire tactical channels. Then you listed a bunch of fire tactical channels. What's your actual question?

To the best of my ability, it appears that he doesn't like hearing medical calls, but does want to hear fire dispatch. He removed the fire dispatch frequencies that have medical dispatched on them and now only hears major incidents. I think he is asking if there is any way to listen to the dispatch channels and only hear the routine fire traffic without the medical traffic. I am not familiar with the system, but I believe the answer there is no.

If you only want to know when there is a fire or non medical aide calls would to get a Uniden that has fire tone out. Program in the BC's tones and when they are toned out scan the Tac channels.

 

[Kingscup]

I am guessing he is listening to a feed on Broadcastify since he listed his location as "Frenont" (Fremont? near San Francisco). Either way, if you want to listen to fire traffic, you will have to put up with the medical traffic. This is especially true on the Broadcastify feeds. You have no way of getting rid of the medical traffic. It is a huge part of the fire service.

 

[karldotcom]

Well, arent medical calls 80 plus percent of the traffic?

 

[Code20Photog]

EMS calls on LACoFD aren't going to be on the radio past the initial dispatch. You can listen to the primary TROs, Blue 1, 3, 6 and 12 and hear the abbreviated alerts, and only significant incidents will have traffic on those channels.

The "victor" frequencies are low power simplex fireground channels. Command will be on the Blue TROs, and the fire attack on the Victor channels. You literally have to be right ON TOP of the incident to hear the Victor frequencies. A mile away, and you're not going to hear them.

Code20Photographer - "Victor" frequencies refer to AM aircraft frequencies. Command/Dispatch will be on the Blue UHF frequencies, yes. The fire ground/fire attack will be on the VHF, AKA the white radio, frequencies. The fire ground/VHF frequencies could be low or high lower. I happen to know that LACoFD uses high power on the VHF tactical frequencies. You are generally correct about the distance, which is why the VHF and UHF frequencies are set to high power.

Just yesterday heard LACoFD refer to V-19 direct as "Victor 19" on the radio while sending units to the brushfire on Kanan Rd.

Just yesterday heard LACoFD refer to V-19 direct as "Victor 19" on the radio while sending units to the brushfire on Kanan Rd.

"Victor" is the phonetic name for the letter "V". So it is possible that someone stated come up on Victor 19 as in LAC V-19 to not confuse another user with another channel IE U-19,

As I stated before "Victor" frequencies are for AM aircraft use. IE Come up on the Rotar Victor

My personal experience, with several of the major fires this past year, has been that I've heard comms on LA County Fire "V-3", for example, when I've been 30+ miles from the fire area.

 

[karldotcom]

Well, this is an old thread.....they were simplex and now are repeated. I believe this was so responding units could have situational awareness once onscene....

I would hope that in all the time that's expired since the last post, the OP has found his answer.
