kar981 - fcc radio license -

not sure - but this might be the real channel lineup

154.445 R - 159.075 input - Ch 1 - main - primary - dispatch and
response and firescene ops

153.83 - Ch 2 - county FG channel - (mobiles only on KAR981 license)

154.07 - Ch 3 - county dispatch - (maybe base and mobiles)

154.025 - Ch 4 - 2ndary FG - base and mobiles - low power - only 25 watts iirc

156.075 - repeater ? - but shows as mobile only on fcc uls - backup dispatch?

158.7675 - MO3 that repeats FG traffic on 153.83 back to the
dispatcher - unknown channel number - maybe just 1 MO3 - maybe in Car
21

the problem with this lineup is that they seem to be able to handle
just 1 fire at a time

On the plus side - the dispatcher should be able to hear everything on
153.83 once the MO3 gets set up

We could see them using this lineup -

154.445 R - primary and coverage

154.025 - first fireground

156.075 - 2nd fireground

153.83 - spare onscene channel

with this setup they could handle 3 or 4 fires at the same time - and
the covering units

anybody remember when they had 50 fires at the same time due to the gas leaks?

yikes - rrdb shows 154.445 as BM - its been a repeater forever
