SIRN

Hmm. I think that might go against the SIRN rules.

I was also thinking that. I read through all those a while back. I was thinking it said that no dispatch channel could be encrypted. So in this case, they got around that but not using the dispatch channel at all. I would think that is still against the SIRN rules.

 

[firemantom26]

I would have to agree

The county obviously doesn't care about the rules. Yes I did see a rule that dispatch channels could not be encrypted however they could be doing what they are currently doing to force a rule change.

Might be kinda dumb question, but here it goes. So previously when in the north end of Brooke county on the Weirton tower, I could not receive any traffic from Ohio County. It seemed Ohio county simulcast was not linked or talking to Weirton. I understand that is possible because Weirton is a stand alone. However the past 4-5 days I have been able to hear everything on Ohio County off the Weirton tower with a Unication pager. Again this is new I never was able to receive Ohio County off the Weirton tower. Could this new update have something to do with it. Bigger range radius, or maybe with both towers being TDMA now that could play effect. It may sound strange I don’t know but thaught I’d throw it out there

 

[firemantom26]

What talk groups are you hearing off the Weirton tower? I monitored Weirton tower with DSD plus today and did not see much activity from Ohio county.

 

[Bethanylt241]

Fire dispatch and tacs

 

[firemantom26]

Might of been radios close enough to asssociate with the Weirton tower. TDMA has nothing to do with it.

 

[Bethanylt241]

Can anyone tell me what Ohio County Marine 1 & 2 are, who’s uses them and are they an active channel?

 

[firemantom26]

I am not sure who uses them. Looking a my DSDPlus.groups file, I do not see many hits on either of them.

 

[n8jsw]

I would assume they are for talking to pike island or other rescue boats if there is a emergency on the river

I am running Fast Lane on St. Joseph 453.050 and I am all of sudden get this. The signal is off the charts and much stronger than what St. Joseph is normally is. Strange

 

[Bethanylt241]

I noticed last night that Ohio County Sim. West Liberty was bouncing all around. Not sure if it was just me or if others saw it too.

Press "d" in DSDPlus to disregard so it'll fetch the info again on that channel you were on.

 

[firemantom26]

I’ve tried that in for some reason it only works certain times. I shut down and restarted Fast-Lane and that corrected the problem. I have no ides why that happed. Oh well its working again.

As long as you are focused on the DSDplus screen (one of them) and not fmp, it works all the time

 

[firemantom26]

FPMA but remotely.

FPMA but remotely.

The "d" option for disregard doesn't have anything to do with FMP*. It's a DSDPlus command. And thus it needs to be pressed when you have focus on a DSDplus screen and not an FMP screen. That's what I'm getting at. Maybe you were pressing "d" while focused on the FMP screen, which very well could be doing something completely different (and unforeseen) lol.

 

[firemantom26]

Mike, I got it to work. Thanks for your help.

 

[mtindor]

Did it get rid of the DMR gar-bahj ?

 

[firemantom26]

Sure did. No idea how that happened but it’s fixed
