1107 am - dispatcher just told some field unit - "Bravo 6 / Fireground 1"

apparently the channel was assigned for someone to use

Fireground 1 is the channel name - and Zone B channel position 6 is
where the channel "Fire Ground 1" is found on the channel selector
knob - imho

B6 / FG1 does match page 17 of 30 in the 2022 radio study at
https://web.archive.org/web/20231108154816/https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4843614bb07d0001e44330/t/62ed3451dad500514a072e5b/1659712594543/MVPSCS+Audit+Report.pdf

therefore - it looks like the Fire radio channel lineup is -

B1 - fire dispatch - 155.4375 R - maybe is ambulance dispatch also
B2 - fire tac - 155.7225 R
B3 - OPS ED (ops edgartown) - shared with police (A3) - ???
B4 - OPS DN (ops down island) - shared with police (A4) - ???
B5 - OPS UP (ops up island) - shared with police (A5) - ???
B6 - fireground 1 - 154.355
B7 - fireground 2 - 154.415
B8 - fireground 3 - 154.07
B9 - fireground 4 - 154.385
B10 - FD OPS UP - ???
B11 - FD OPS DN - ???
B12 - FD OPS ED - ???
B13 - VFIRE 21 - 154.28
B14 - VFIRE 22 - 154.265
B15 - Pager - maybe 154.325 and/or maybe 154.1125
B16 - fire dispatch - 155.4375R - same as B1

B1 and B16 are probably the same so any field unit can click their
channel selector all the way to the end and try to reach a dispatcher

the police lineup is apparently equivalent - except that -
substitute PD Dispatch for FD Dispatch - PD Tac for FD Tac - PD OPS UP
for FD OPS UP etc
A6 and A7 are blank or local options
A8 is jail - maybe 156.03
A9 is tribal - maybe 151.16R
A13 is VLAW31
A14 is CLAW32
A16 is same as A1

the major unknowns at this time are
OPS ED + OPS DN + OPS UP + FD OPS UP + FD OPS DN + FD OPS ED + PD OPS
UP + PD OPS DN + PD OPS ED - so there are 9 unknown frequencies at
this point

we can probably narrow this down because we know which repeaters are
licensed where - maybe we can geolocate some of them - to narrow
things down - lets save that for tomorrow

looks like Dukes County Mass took the old simplex police channels at
158 mhz and converted them to input channels for their new repeaters

see https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=4213952

this is a big change
