I heard a chief ask Sullivan Dispatch to move comms for a search to the fire "tac" channel. I only see the paging, fire com, and fire ground channels 1-7. I don't see anything labeled as a tac channel. Anyone know what it is?
Sullivan County fire tac channel
- Thread starter aslc
- Start date
Following, since I am curious as well.
You have to remember that channel details are submitted by the users of this website, and the description of any channel is determined by the submitter and/or database admins, it may or may not be the actual official name for that particular channel. Tac channels are often used for other than a tactical operation, just as Talk channels are sometimes used tactically. Fire departments are regularly heard on Tac/Comm/Ground channels doing other stuff besides Tac stuff. What the officers of a department call a channel may not be the official name or what is listed in the RR Database.
I agree with this. The "Fireground" channels are, by definition, "Fire-Tac" in the RRDB . The official name or what a department calls the channel may vary but the use is essentially the same. I think I have seen some counties with both Fireground (Fire use only) and Tac (mixed Fire. EMS and general use) channel designations.
Makes sense. Since the chief didn't say "tac" along with a number (1-7, for listed FG 1-7) I thought maybe there was a tac freq that was new or hadn't been posted. Maybe no number was given since each dept has an assigned primary FG channel. Thanks.

just the fcc geo site, and a guess on a low power freq.

OK then
the power looks too high for a fire tac.
and it does show inter-op anyway.
but here is the FCC geographical site to look stuff up on.
License Search - Geographic Search
the range search is handy for stuff like this
and there is a freq of 153.83 that might be used
and to see where to search in the bands.
here is a decades old police call list of freqs and who is using what
