they have 2 channels - both P25 - 155.955R + 153.95 they have 3 stations - all staffed 24/7 - they also run the paramedic ambulances for the town not sure what coverage they have on 153.95 gonna guess that they still have some pagers for off duty or callmen if 155.955R has 98% town coverage - and that includes inside bld coverage at 98% - (perhaps there are not too many big blds in town) - and if the dispatcher can receive and transmit at the same time - then they could run all of their ops on the repeater - and leave 153.95 open for out of town units coming in to cover the empty fire stations on a major incident or they could implement a SOP that says explicitly that the IC only gives out orders on 153.95 - or a SOP that says responding units have to ask for orders on 153.95 when they are 1 miles from scene OR OR OR do the SoCal thing - have bases on 155.955 simplex - along with the repeater on 155.955R - then field units can use either 155.955R or 155.955 direct - they would need some lockout mechanism to prevent the 155.955 bases from hearing the 155.955 repeater - maybe that would be simple - just turn off the receivers on the 155.955 bases whenever the repeater key up =========================== this problem is faced by every FD in the USA - how do you marry up simplex ops with repeater ops - its a real fundamental question for fire service radio comms -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
