An internal email was sent to the department stating that on or before June 1, 2010 full-time patching from 800mhz talkgroups into VHF will discontinue. Some type of "grant funded" narrow-band repeaters are being installed (some already on the air) at various mountain tops in the County. These are designated "County 1" 151.145 narrowband VHF, "County 2" 159.120 narrowband, "County 3" 151.1525 narrowband (new freq.), "County 4" 155.100 narrow (new freq.)
Multiple sites/tones per freq like CalFire.
Their dispatch will monitor 24/7, however, will only patch to 800mhz based on incident need / field request.
Regional assignments are - Valley = Co 1, Mountains = Co 2, Desert/I-15 corridor = Co 3, yucca/Hwy 62 corridor = Co 4.
