Re: SDP1/2

SDP1 and SDP2 are connections between the consoles at Station M and the consoles at Station A, used to patch talk groups across the two networks. That's pretty obvious from the context but there should be a TG that appears active on either system when this patch is active. Strangely, I don't see wh...

Exactly, why can't they move to another TG with NZ capability or patch their dispatch to one if they can't free up a dispatcher for the incident?

Will SDFD be all digital? I bet City will follow the path the RCS took and leave most routine channels in analog mode with a few digital tac channels. So I would say no. Over the course of time (year or years?) you should see PD transition to digital. Eventually when the RCS goes P25 you'll have FD...

Re: Talkgroup 41136

I see on the RCS there is a talkgroup 41136 (Motorola System Techs), but I heard this on the city TRS This typically stems from Motorola doing a mock-up at their facility in Illinois. They basically connect the whole system together in a warehouse and configure it for operation. Whomever at Motorol...

Re: Question

Is the San Diego City trunked system a Motorola Smartzone now it sounds different? Yes. Looks like the equipment that was sitting in a warehouse has finally been installed. So think RCS style, but on a smaller scale. Single-site and non-networked Simulcast systems send out the clock message. SmartZ...

The patents for the old Motorola trunking format were written a long time ago. I've had the chance to read over these new patents and it's evident they wrote them in an attempt to stop scanner manufacturers from including the calculation process. And the new rebanded freqs don't follow the FCC chann...

The Pro-96, 2096, GRE 500 and 600 will support rebanding without needing a firmware upgrade. The Uniden's will only support rebanding with a firmware upgrade. Note, this only applies to trunktracking 800MHz Motorola 3600 systems like what SD City and County use. I'm curious to see if anyone does in ...

Possibly traditional voice paging as they can run along a standard paging channel. Not the same as like a Minitor so the Unidens would not work (i.e., doesn't use QuickCall signaling).

I wonder if the 700's are back up if they need to interop with the feds? No, each P25 Trunked site can use both 800 and 700 or one or the other just like how the channels are used now. The current technology RCS uses doesn't permit this though. Only true P25 trunked systems support 700 and 800 oper...
