I can confirm that TG1005 is the new Stratford FD patch channel repeating 154.905.

What do you think: is TG 1005 still also used as WR Fire Tac 5, or is it now SFD 1?

The audio needs to be dialed up on the KFD side.

An intersting dispatch note is that KW is not paging station 2 at all. They page out the alert tones on 154.905 and then the stations need to listen to the dispatch to see if its for them or the other hall.

Woodstock never toned out either station. WPS used to set the tones off and dispatch the call. The captain at Station 1 would advised WPS and station 2 who is going on the call. Not sure how it works now as WFD is encrypted 🤬

Question: why does Kitchener Fire dispatch patch TGs 1005 and 1902 together and do the dispatch on both TGs?

 

[gary123]

The two TG are not patched. What you hear on 1005 is the repeated audio from the station alert. If you can hear 154.905 and TG 1005 you will hear the almost half second delay in the audio as it is received and encoded to P25. When KW transmits on the 1005 TG you also get the same delay before the audio is heard on 154.905.

On my end though, I see the dispatcher RID on both simultaneously and that it is a patch on 1902 to 1005 and they are the same length audio.

I'll do some more monitoring. WR is pretty weak out here.
