| Post subject: | Yakima PTT Id's |
At the meeting, someone asked me about PTT ID's being used in Yakima County. I misinformed you. This is who I can almost confirm is using them. City of Selah Fire Department (On County Fire Main 154.2575) Audible squelch is heard on key-up. City of Yakima Fire Deapartment (154.310) Mostly for the "Man down" feature of their XTS-2500's. Audible Squelch is also heard. And just today, I learned that YPD is using them (156.015). There was an open mic and the dispatcher kept saying, "David 1, check your mic." Yesterday I heard an officer ask who the radio he was using was assigned to and the dispatcher replied with the officer's name. ALS Ambulance (155.400) Using all Kenwood 7180's and 2170's with FleetSync. They don't like their 2170's either. |

Wapato Fire is dispatched on Lower Valley Fire Main (154.385.) The City of Wapato Fire Chief (Santos Valdez) uses a Kenwood TK-2170 and is a real nice guy. City of Wapato Police is dispatched on Yakima County Sheriff "Lookout" Repeater by the County Dispatchers. It's been a while since I've listened to the Lower Valley Sheriff Dispatch so I can't say 100% percent certain that that is going on. But, the FCC database shows a license (WNNK807) for Wapato City to transmit on 155.100 -- the input for the Lookout Repeater. Also within that license, it shows a frequency of 154.875, which is only licensed to the City of Wapato in Yakima County. It makes me think that it is a tac/car-2-car frequency just for them. The City of Selah has the same thing. Selah is dispatched on Yakima Police Primary (156.015), but have their own channel they call "City" (154.800) and for them, I can confirm that they are using that as a tac/car-2-car simplex frequency. I hear them every once in a while on it. MTM might be able to say what it's used for, but that's what my money is on. |
