New RFS 2022 Radio Profile Video

[Mr Flibble]

Thought some of you might be interested in this video that's just come out as the RFS profile and channel allocation has totally changed.

PSN (aka GRN) = Public Safety Network

Thanks Flibble, certainly some major changes to the structure of new version.

OK, I will ask...does anyone have a sheet of the new TG allocations/alias's? (no I am not asking for the actual codeplug)...

Definitely keen to understand what the new channel mappings are. Most of these don’t appear to be all that different from what’s in the existing, except instead of a single channel per district there’ll be two - a dispatch channel as there is now, and a new tactical channel per district also.

Time to dust off the programming software and figure out what the new TGs are. Ugh.

There looks to be some insight to the new zones in the rfs pocketbook.

[ozcjr]

From a look at the pocketbook probably the only thing changing is the B (ops/tac) channels being assigned to each district. One imagines the dispatch channels will be the same primary district channels in use now. Would be very good to get a printout of TGs and zone assignments for those who actively scan RFS stuff.

Looks like a whole heap of zones have moved across to CAD and also centralised radios at OCC .. so expect those new radio profiles to be rolling out any time now.

Has anyone got any info about the TGID used for the "B" channels?

The A channels are just the renamed dispatch channels so they're easy to fix up in the database, but the B channels must be new?

Zone 17: NATIONAL (National PSN liaison channels)

The one caught my eye. I’m not aware of any National PSN liaison channels. Likely they mean the national simplex channels.

[astro_boy]

I wonder if this is widespread in the new profile?
