St. Louis cnty cce freqs question

[firebell9137]

Hi everyone. Why do some calls come over the analog cce tone out freqs and some dont? Especially South fire dispatch and cce central tone out? Mostly i hear north and south fire dispatch only on Tgs p25 dispatch. But sometimes dispatch goes over the analog channels with 2 tones and p25 dispatch talkgroups. Any ideas? Im using a Unication G5 pager for p25 digital TGs and a Uniden 396xt scanner for analog tone outs. If im lucky, both receive the dispatch. I have all 3 analog cce 911 tone out freqs

First, if a truck is out of quarters, Central County may not tone out the call. They will often just called it out over the South Dispatch talkgroup for units on the road. Second, if a the units assigned to a call respond prior to being dispatched, usually via their mobile CAD, then CCE will not dispatch over the radio.

I was curious as to why sometimes I hear the Clayton FD responding siren prior to the dispatch on my G4. Thanks for the explanation

BTW, if you want a jump on the radio dispatch, all of the departments dispatched by Central County 911 and East Central Dispatch are on the PulsePoint app. Most of their calls, particularly the major ones, are pushed to the app, by agency where the call is.

Do you mean the siren outside the firehouse to alert traffic? If so that is probably because the radio portion of the dispatch is the last thing to go out. I believe inside the firehouse they get a computer alert via print out, and pagers may go off and doors start to open before the radio portion of the dispatch goes out.

Not 100% sure on the info but that is pretty close. I am not sure if all the firehouses are set up the same.

I have seen Maplewood do the same thing. I saw their doors open and personal running to the trucks 'before' I heard the dispatch on the radio.

Again, it's pretty close but not 100%.

Not often but some times I'll hear Clayton's truck sirens as they leave the station before my unication dispatch. I live close to their station. But that would make sense that they get the CAD dispatch first than the radio traffic.

We get our pulse point and Active911 first, sometimes minutes before tones. Tones are still in place for station alerting.
