Dukes County MA - ops repeaters

[Peteri Szerlagi]

Dukes County might have 3 sets of 3 ops repeaters

the set up might be -

Edgartown area - Ops ED (shared police/fire) + FD Ops ED + PD Ops ED -
repeaters might be 151.265R + 155.865R + some 3rd repeater

Up Island area - Ops UP (shared police/fire) + FD Ops UP + PD Ops UP -
repeaters might be 155.40R + 151.34R + 154.7625R

Down Island Area - Ops DN (shared police/fire) + FD Ops DN + PD Ops DN
- repeaters might be 155.925R for Ops DN - and 155.895R plus some 3rd
repeater

this layout is somewhat based on the licensed locations for the repeaters

These channels can be used as tac / onscene channels - and they can be
used as backup repeaters (maybe if the backhaul system goes)

the primary day/day channels seem to be - 154.325 or 154.1125 for
paging for everyone - 156.2175R police main ("A1") - 151.4825R police
2ndary ("A2") - 155.4375R fire and ambulance main response ("B1") -
155.7225R fire and ambulance tac (first working incident) ("B2")

the only info that we can find online has the main channels and the FG
channels - but not the OPS channels?

note - this is different terminology than what California uses - from
listening to the scanner feed - 99% of all police action is on the
main police channel ("A1") - and 95% of all fire and ambulance traffic
is on the main fire/amb channel ("B1") - the Fire Tac channel ("B2")
was requested for 1 dumpster fire - the responding units were told to
switch to Fire Tac (Channel B2) - all onscene comms and all IC to
dispatcher comms seemed to be on B2 (and B2 is fully repeaterized as
are all of the other main channels) - the Ops channels are all
repeaters also - its seems that the Ops channels would only be used
when the main channels were very busy or there was a large scale
incident

it is possible that Channels A1, A2, B1, and B2 are all synchronized
simulcast with 4 or 5 repeaters running islandwide - it is possible
that the Ops channels have just 1 repeater each

note - the radios seem to be set up with 2 zones / banks - the A bank
with A channels are for police units - the B bank with B channels is
for fire and ambulance units - ( noting that A3 is the same as B3 - A4
is the same as B4 - A5 is the same channel as B5 - those 3 OPs
channels are shared by police, fire and ambulance units apparently )
