San Bernardino County 01

System Notes

Location

Quartzite Mountain, North of Victorville, CA

Description

Used by County departments as well as non-county public providers such as contracting fire departments. Some talkgroups are "patched" to other systems via the consoles in dispatch. This leads to some duplication among the various systems. For example, Fire dispatch patches 1-Fire-1, 6-Fireground-7, Trona conventional, Baker conventional, and Mtn Pass conventional systems together on a normal basis to create a larger "North Desert Dispatch" system. Additionally, the current "city areas" talkgroup 1-FGND-2 is being used as a response channel and is patched to 8-FIRE-2 to create a "city + Cajon Pass" system.

FGND (fireground) channels are not normally patched and are stand-alone with only a couple exceptions (1-FGND-2 and 6-FGND-7). Some SB County VHF channels might be patched in on a temporary basis to allow non 800mhz agencies to operate jointly without borrowing radios. This is a simulcast system from Quartzite Mtn in Victorville, Rodman Mtn N. of Lucerne Valley, and Flash II Mtn N. of Barstow.
