Come here to talk about the San Diego and Imperial County Regional Communications System. This is a great resource to share talkgroups and information about the countywide RCS.

South RCS Down???

Post by IronCross »

At about 10:30pm I hear nothing. So I look at the screen and "Finding Control CH" so I thought the antenna got loose wasnt the antenna.

On the Control CHs Im not getting a data stream rather sounds like someone is keyed up and holding it with a beep.

Is the RCS South down?

I will add the recording in about 5mins

I didnt get a chance to get it recorded.

At 11:00pm the data on CC 868.4125 started streaming again.

Did anyone else notice it or was it just my scanner???

Alrighty, Thanks for the quick reply. :D

Also what (Backup Freqs?) were they using when it was down?

I could hear voice threw the CC.

The same freqs that is part of Southzone.
That is one of the reason you want to program in all the Southzone freqs and not just the control channels. :o

Look at this thread.
Then look at this PDF file RCS Failsoft For All.pdf
It will show you where each agency will be doing the failsoft test.

I was at work last night I'm glad we did'nt get a call during it. The last time they did it was during the day and we went over which channel to switch to if we got a call.
