Wollongong & Katomba Comm's to Close

[ivahri]

Which means they have turned the back-up radio at Newcastle on as planned...

10107 D108 active only one side of comms (despatch only)

Edit: brigade tech heard calling comms.

[Bigfella237]

Geez that didn't take long! D108 (10107) is now patched with D306 (10125), I thought we might see some Sydney talkgroups patched with the South Coast/Southern Tablelands during the dead of night but not lunchtime on a Thursday!

It's not a permanent arrangement... just being done to address a short term "whoopsy".

[cartman]

I might be a bit thick but has anybody got their head around who is suppose to be on what channels ?
Some of the operators and crews do seem confused from time to time
There is also new abbreviations in use or have i been hiding under a rock ?

On my unitrunker patch screen

10101, 10102, 10103 are patched together
10104, 10105, are patched together
10106, 10107 and 10120 are patched together

However it seems to be changing from hour to hour
I am listening to 10104 and the audio from the far NW of the state eg Cobar, Bourke, Brewarrina is like they are in the next room ie crystal clear

pump 392 Muswellbrook was just told to change from the Newcastle/Hunter tg across to D401 as this will be their new working channel

[ivahri]

That actually could be right... if I remember right Muswellbrook (plus Aberdeen, Scone, Denman etc) is part of the same zone as Mudgee. That would make them D401.

Moving to a system based on operational zones is going to show up these odd arrangements- it doesn't normally matter so long as the patching is set up correctly.

As long as they are in the GRN footprint, could be a very big issue if there in a PMR area

[matthewn1983]

10129 and 10130 are patched into 10104 on Site 133

[Mike Alpha]

If anyone is after the latest version of Steve Banham's 'Stations' app to help sort out which fire stations are in which areas, I found it hiding here - STATIONS

And a map
