Purpose or Objective. The purpose of this section is to set forth the recommended standards by which all 800 MHz radio users in the regional system will agree to purchase subscriber radios that are defined in this standard. This standard is to ensure that radios that are not in compliance do not affect the radio system. This document will be revised after the RPSCC approves the purchase and implementation of a new APCO P25 700 MHz radio system and the manufactured radio models have been identified to work with the P25 system.
Purpose or Objective. The 800 MHz system will contain a large number of talk groups & multigroups to support the various agencies that will be subscribing to the system. The System has multiple administrating agencies that will be responsible for maintaining the Fleetmaps and system programming for the agencies for which they are responsible. Talk groups must be configured identically by name in the SmartZone Manager Terminal database, Radio Consoles and the Subscriber Radio. The minimum characters are six (6) and maximum is 14. The Talk Group number of characters will need to be based upon the individual agency’s subscriber radio model types used within their fleet. For the effective management of the system a defined process needs to be used to document the Fleetmap information that each agency is supporting. This information needs to be in a format that is shared with the other administrators.
Purpose or Objective. The purpose of establishing varying priority levels for talk groups is to assure the most critical talk groups on the system are granted a channel as quickly as possible when the system is experiencing busy conditions.
Purpose or Objective. To manage the use of interconnect on the system. Although this is a useful feature and needed by some users, it must be managed to an appropriate level to protect the primary radio communications purpose of the system.
Purpose or Objective. To manage the use of private call on the system, although this is a useful feature and needed by some users, it must be managed to an appropriate level to protect the primary radio communications purpose of the system.
Purpose or Objective. The purpose of this section is to set forth the principle by which all radio users in the regional system will establish names for their radios in order to ensure that there are no duplicate names, and also to facilitate intuitive understanding of the radio name.
Purpose or Objective. The purpose of this section is to set forth the principals by which all radio users in the regional system will establish names for Talk Groups (TG) and to facilitate intuitive understanding of the TG name. The TG naming standard is also essential because, in keeping with the regional interoperability concept, some TG’s will be shared by multiple agencies.
Purpose or Objective. The intent of this standard is to provide an option to the users of the 800 MHz system, which will allow the talk group owners to “at their discretion” predefine sharing authorizations for other agencies.
Purpose or Objective. This procedure is to identify operational procedures and responsible authorities governing Scanning activities as it relates to the Scan function in the individual subscriber radio.
Purpose or Objective. There will be a large variety of users on the radio system with various Emergency Button needs. The various ways the emergency key can be configured will allow for flexibility of use, however, it is important to design the system in such a way that when an Emergency Button is pushed, it is responded to quickly and appropriately.
