What's the best Win96 file for SFPD and Sheriff and where is the SFPD-SO Beat Map?

[MHZ]

Two questions,

Visiting Knob Hill and may be staying on Bryant Street.

Is there a Beat Map for SFPD somewhere so we can figure out the coverage for each SFPD and Sheriff TG?

If you were limited to only one rs pro-96 digital radio, what would be your best starsoft Win96 setup for SFPD city and county?

If you can share your SFPD Win96 file and setup, please post.

Unfortunately the radio shack pro-96 has limited storage space, so I can not include each and every TG in one bank for easy lock outs.

Banks 4 or 5 are left open to collect additional TG's as they pop up.

When we leave open a bank for catching new TG's, we also run out of the ability to lock out more TG's that we already have, especially when they keep popping up and blocking other traffic. Wish radio shack had given us more capacity, memory and lock outs.

I also hope to put in the SFO Police-TAC with surrounding county Mutual Aid channels and anything else of importance, under the empty space below one or more of the SFPD Trunked Control channel banks.

I may transfer the Analog channels and TG's to a Pro95, but this is how I've done it so far. Unfortunately my uploaded Win96 file for this thread failed a few times, so here's a copy and paste version to give you an idea:


Doubt I'll hear anything interesting in Banks 0, 1 and 2, as they're probably my favorites and encrypted,

Sheriff only handles jails and transport.

Rarely they will use them for a street demonstration, but there is no Sheriff
beat map that I am aware of.

Try here:
http://www.sfgov.org/site/police_index.asp?id=19455

SF TRS doesn't use much digital. Just the medical channels (encrypted) and
some special ops channels (also encrypted). Everything else is analog
and will work in a Pro95.

Listening to the meter maids and animal control will drive you insane

SFO is in San Mateo County, and is on an analog 800mhz system and is very
local coverage to just the airport and surrounding area.

San Mateo County (surrounding county south) is P25 480mhz digital system, but the mutual aid tacs are analog.

Marin County (MERA) is P25 digital 480mhz system to the north.

Oakland's 800mhz EDACS system is a good listen (across the bay) and is high volume.

 

[jmm346]

EDIT: Disregard, dupe info.

 

[Eng74]

San Mateo County Fire is a conv. system.

 

[MHZ]

trooperdude: Thanks for the info.

Part 2 of my Starsoft Win96 file for SF below, if anyone can add anything to it, has a better workable lay out with alpha tags, or recommended listening TG's, please post.

Particularly info on the short list of Unknown TG's mostly in Bank 9 that still need to be identified. This is over a year old and I'm sure there are now many more Unknown TG's than those few I have listed.

One quick note the ATT key will be your friend in The City. I don't know what has gone on there since last football season but even with the ATT on on my PSR-500 it is way overloaded the 96/2096 are not as bad. I am even haveing to use the ATT on the 246 out at Candelstick Park.

 

[rooivalk]

SFSO doesn't do any patrol, so listening to them would be boring.

Staying downtown on a weekend, I'd pay attention to PD-A1, PD-A2, both cover the Southern, Central and Tenderloin Districts--which cover Downtown, South Of Market and The Tenderloin is the most crime ridden area of SF. Also PD-A11 is used on Fri and Sat for the Broadway Command Detail (Broadway is the party street in the Central Police District).

 

[inigo88]

There are some pretty good lists of the unit ID structure for SFPD here:

http://www.keller.com/radio/SFPD/SFPoliceUnitIDs.html
http://www.keller.com/radio/SFPD/SFPoliceUnitIDPrefixes.html

Quick question about SFPD though. If we heard a unit "3 Adam 2," according to the above pages the first digit is the unit, the second is the station and the third and fourth digits are the function of the unit depending on a range of numbers (or possibly the beat). So this officer would be in the Field Operations Unit (3), Central Station (A), would be a basic patrol unit (between 1-29) and possibly on beat 2. Looking at the district map for the central district 3A2 is marked:

http://www.sfgov.org/site/uploadedfiles/police/stations/Central.pdf

My question is, I've also heard IDs like "3 Adam 2 Boy," and I've never seen an explanation for the extra letter at the end anywhere. My best guess would be that if they put more than one patrol unit in the same beat, they just tag on an extra letter to the end of the unit ID. I was just wondering if anyone in SF knew the definitive answer to this.

Thanks.

There are some pretty good lists of the unit ID structure for SFPD here:

Quick question about SFPD though. If we heard a unit "3 Adam 2," according to the above pages the first digit is the unit, the second is the station and the third and fourth digits are the function of the unit depending on a range of numbers (or possibly the beat). So this officer would be in the Field Operations Unit (3), Central Station (A), would be a basic patrol unit (between 1-29) and possibly on beat 2. Looking at the district map for the central district 3A2 is marked:

Here's the breakdown:

First letter=Bureau (i.e. 3 for patrol, 2 for admin, etc)
Second letter=Station
Third number = the car sector or squad/platoon depending on the Bureau. For patrol, 1-9 equals a one person car, anything in the teens is a two person patrol car.
Fourth letter = the shift worked, A, B C or D. Some stations will have units use a callsign without a shift designator. Also, Tactical and Investigations won't use a shift designator in their callsigns.

So, 3A2B would be a Central district uniformed patrol working the 2-sector on the B shift (0800-1800).

The shifts are all standardized, however, some specialized units use the last letter as a personnel designator, and not the shift being worked.
