Wrong. Sheriff's Department is issued Motorola XTS 3000 radios. All vehicles are slowly being upgraded to XTL 5000 with the new O5 head.

and I believe SDPD uses Motorola XTS 2500 radios

scanner, with all due respect, I am a deputy sheriff in the courts/detention centers, and we have XTS 5000... would you like me to post a picture to depict it?

Yes please.

It's possible that the XTS 3000s are being phased out due to age, but the entire fleet has not been changed to XTS 5000s unless this happened in the last week.

I can definitely believe that as the XTS 3000s are old and I believe EOL. Interested in the picture. Also didn't you guys use to use HT1000s in the jails..or at least at VDF..?

I listen to SD County Sheriff's every day and yesterday first I noticed it was offline, today it's not listed as option?

Does anyone know why? Or where I can find another link to it?

Thanks so much

What frequency do you listen to for the sheriffs dept?



Scanner:

we used to use the 1500's, our radios are really varied among the physical centers.

OK, lots of information has been presented here, some of it valid. :D

The XTS 3000 handheld radio (along with the Syntor mobiles used in the patrol fleet) is at end of product support life. It also will not operate in the soon-to-be-used 700 MHz band. The Department is purchasing XTS 5000 radios as replacements for the older handheld radios due to the durability, construction, and features of the XTS 5000 (not because we like to waste money).

NONE of the 800 MHz XTS 3000 / 5000 radios are currently being used inside the Detentions environment, which operates today on UHF and uses HT 750 / 1000 / 1250 radios in analog operations. FCC-mandated narrow banding of the UHF spectrum will cause some of those radios to be replaced.

NO changes have been made to the patrol and court services operations of SDSD on the RCS. That does not mean that changes will not be made in the future.

San Diego PD has been replacing their much-older mobiles and Saber portables with XTL / XTS 2500 mobiles / handhelds.

Your master site
I updated the subject so it's not as vague and ripe for misunderstanding.


I'm surprised SD City still has any Saber SI's considering how old and small in distribution they served. I know it was the first radio they started with in the early 90's when they went trunked. It's one (working) radio I have that I consider a souvenir of the old days.
