I was listening to the input channel of RRU 1 of Riverside County Fire and noticed that dispatch is going through the input frequency, with at least five different CTCSS tones - I assume based on the repeater/area of the dispatch. I am just curious if anyone knows if the selection of the tone based on the area/repeater is an automated process or if the dispatcher has to select the CTCSS for each call that they dispatch?
I may not have this completely accurate, however it seemed to be along the lines of:
Command 5 Dispatches: 123.0
Command 6 Dispatches: 131.8 and 167.9
Command 7 Dispatches: 107.2
Command 8 Dispatches: 156.7
Command 9 Dispatches: Not Sure
Command 10 Dispatches: 123.0
Command 12 Dispatches: Not Sure
Anyone know how the dispatchers go about selecting the tone, if not somehow automated?
Thanks!
