just read this if you want to learn about simulcast systems you might have to out your thinking cap on
http://forums.radioreference.com/greater-los-angeles-inland-areas-discussion/317878-laso-simulcast.html The Los Angeles Sheriff uses essentially the same system as the county FD - regional or local synchronized simulcast channels, and some countywide synchronized simulcast channels the only difference between Sheriff and Fd is that Sheriff uses multicast (key up different freqs at same time) - that has more to do with channel loading, dispatcher availability, and operational procedures note - in this thread - the poster says "simulcast" but I say "synchronized simulcast" note - some people think that multicast means to key up 2 or more freqs at the same time - maybe it does - i dont remember the exact functions on the Motorola consoles - they have "multicast" and and maybe "multiselect" and maybe "patch" options - sometimes just the dispatcher goes out on 2 or more freqs - sometimes the cars go out on 2 or more freqs also Bottom line - "synchronized simulcast" is transmitting from 2 bases or 2 repeaters at the same time on the same freq in the same area with the same message - you gotta do the fancy synchronizing or everyone just hears garbage (in the middle between the 2 radio sites) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
