System Notes

Location

Flash II Hill, North of Barstow, CA

Description

This is an orphan system still in service in San Bernardino County. After simulcasting of system 1 was put into effect at the same location, this system became redundant. 2-Fire-1 used to be the primary fire dispatch channel but is now silent. Occasionally, units can be heard using 2-FGND-1 amongst themselves but Fire Dispatch no longer has access to this TRS. Barstow Marine Base FD still uses it since they have no need for coverage beyond this stand-alone system.

 ===Description===
-Used by County departments as well as non-county public providers. 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, 2-Fire-1, 3-Fire-1, 6-FGND-7 together on a normal basis to create a larger "North Desert Dispatch" 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.
