Cpae Cod FD radio channels

at http://www.capecodfd.com/ - upper left - click on Blue 6 - Dispatch Center

can anyone add info to this? I am not clear on how this works.

--------------------------------

Mobile and portable radios issued to fire departments have (3) banks
of 16 channels each.

The "A" Bank, contains the home department's channel, a mutual aid
dispatch channel, 5 neighboring departments, the local police channel,
a Capewide Administrative channel, a CIEMSS talkgroup, and (5) common
I-Call / T-Tac channels. Channel 1 in the "A" bank is a low power,
Direct channel. Radios in the "A" Bank typically can scan the home
channel, neighboring departments, and the mutual aid dispatch channel.

The "B" Bank in each radio contains the remaining fire department
channels not included in the "A" bank.

The "C" Bank has the home channel, (3) OPS channels for major
incidents, and other channels.

The "C" Bank in each radio was designed for use at multi-department
incidents. Channel 1 is the Direct channel. The direct channel is a
conventional 800 (not trunked). This is paired with the C2 channel
which is the home department's primary channel. C1 and C2 scan each
other. If for some reason, a portable in a building cannot transmit
out (it is unable to hit one of the cape's repeater sites), the person
in the building can switch to the direct C1 position to reach command
or other units on the scene. The (3) OPS channels are similarly
paired....C3 is direct/C4 is OPS 1..........C5 is direct/C6 is OPS
2......etc.... Each pair scans itself for this "backup" for emergency
purposes. The direct channel frequency is the same in all positions.

-------------------------------------

can anyone list the direct channels? what freqs are they?
