Aransas county is using a conventional vhf simulcast system with a 7/800 mhz back up for PD and S.O. The reason for the talk groups in the CBRIN network is that some units have not been upgraded and switched over to multi band equipment from the edacs/legacy system. The three fire departments and ems are on three towers that covers the county from south to north there are 7 repeaters for fire 1 for ems. The edacs will eventually go away completely as it is merely a patch. The data base is in need of updating as some of the information is outdated and misleading
Send us whatever you have through the submission link on the Aransas County database and I’ll gladly update it. I see 4 fire repeaters and 1 EMS repeater listed plus the SO and RPD with 1 each
Done
I processed your updates. Just curious though, why the North and South links with the same output frequency as the Central fire repeater? Are the other South and North repeaters not synced up as Fire Dispatch? Also, is Rockport Fire dispatch by the county on the ACFD C, N and S repeaters, or are they dispatched on their own Rockport Fire 1?
The Fire link repeaters are setup like that to have coverage from one end to the other as the towers are only 180 ft tall if one unit is south county on south link and the other is on north link they will hear and talk to one another as well as central the links are just geographically stronger. All fire repeaters will alert and be dispatch to units but only be able to talk back to dispatch on central or links.
Ok so the South and North repeaters carry tones for dispatch but are used more for tactical ops?
Yes. North link, central, south link are essentially the same they communicate to and from dispatch.
North repeater, south repeater, rockport fd 1 will receive traffic only from dispatch for ops to free up dispatch channels you will receive tones on all channels besides rockport fd2.
North repeater, south repeater, rockport fd 1 will receive traffic only from dispatch for ops to free up dispatch channels you will receive tones on all channels besides rockport fd2.
