RADIO FLEETMAP

The radio fleetmap identifies the trunked talkgroups and non-trunked conventional channels utilized within the 800 MHz CCCS. The following talkgroups and conventional channels are programmed into law enforcement radios. A zone number will always precede the talkgroup/channel name. All talkgroups and channels common to law, fire, lifeguard and public works radios have a zone number and letter preceding the name. These are found in zones 8 through 13.

ZONE 1 - This is the "agency specific zone" and contains various talkgroups and channels designated by an individual department. At a minimum, the department specific law enforcement GREEN or YELLOW talkgroups and channels are found in Zone 1. The RED talkgroup is always in Zone 1, position 16.

Each Green talkgroup and talkaround channel is city specific and unique to that department. Each Yellow talkgroup and talkaround channel is agency specific and unique to the Sheriff-Coroner Department.

GREEN:
