Re: Narrow Band Question

Weak signals, as in low audio? If so, yes, trying narrow band would be a good idea.

Re: RSO Southwest system change?

It's possible that the beeps are coming from a single site, but that would indicate something is configured seriously wrong. The other possibility is that the remote scanner is simply not as susceptible to whatever anomaly that causes YOUR scanner to hear the beeps. Remember, at the end of a transmi...

That system is simulcast, so all 4 sites would be transmitting the same thing... bad beeps and all.

Re: Can anyone identify this trunked system call sign?

Likely part of the OC system, but it's also licensed to the City of LA.

Yet another local agency in the region that won't be using the "regional" PSEC system.

Put it in your neighbors trash can. You don't even want that thing in your own.

Re: Sheriff's conventional TAC channels...

RSO doesn't have an ITAC-1 on Santiago Peak. It's on Elsinore Peak and Box Springs, voted and transmitter steered. The ITACS share a common PL, as previously stated, and are supposed to be in a knocked down state where they don't automatically repeat unless commanded on. This is frequently violated,...

Re: Regarding PL/DPL tones...

Once a channel grant has been requested, and assigned, trunked systems use a tone similar to PL called 'connect tone' that they use to validate the mobile's signal into the system.

Re: RSO radio's when system goes down...

That is correct. The Orions are control stations (mobile radios, actually) installed on the consoles for air entry into the trunked system when the consoles are down. It's a common (and very good) practice seen in most dispatch centers. BTW, In SB County, they're referred to as "doomsday" ...
