OPP Interoperability Test W/ Durham and Kawartha Lakes (Lindsay)

[rneals]

Was listening to OPP Kawartha Lakes 1J (2OPS08) TGID 8336 on Fenelon about 2am on Christmas Day.

Orillia called for car to do an "Interop Test", 1J302 responded.
A few moments passed, then Orillia tells 1Juliet302 to go car to car with Kawartha Lakes.

1J302 called KLPS
KLPS 102 responds and they exchanged a radio check.
(Kawartha Lakes Police Service (Lindsay Town Cops) use a VHF DMR repeater system. I assume there is a back to back radio interop system somewhere that does this patch)

Then Orillia asked 1J302 to standby for a test with Durham.
1J302 called Durham to go ahead.
A Durham car exchanged radio check with the OPP car.
Then Durham Communications exchanged radio check with OPP 1J302.
Durham Communications told the Durham Car to go back to 3 Dispatch
(Sounds like Durham NextGen has a special talkgroup to patch to Orillia OPP)

Yes, most services have a consolette on a dedicated interop talkgroup installed. The consolette is tied into whatever dispatch system they are using. When needed, the OPP will patch that group to whatever OPS or TAC channel they're using.

If you look in the database for Zone 2, you'll see a few groups have been identified. Doesn't look like anybody has found Kawartha Lakes or Durham yet.

It appears that the Interoperability talkgroups are in the range 9500 to 10016
Starting with a list of Municipal Police Services, and assuming that there was some sort of program that places FleetNet radios in Municipal Police Dispatch locations, we're missing a lot of Interop TGID's.

If people don't submit findings to the database from their localities for interop, then we will never complete the 9500-10016 FleetNet range.

Better hurry because there's no guarantee that information will be useful with PSRN.
Oh wait, you wont be able to listen anyway. Shucks.

Sometimes, the joy is mapping these systems out. This is a hobby for some of us after all. :sigh:
