800 MHz Radio Coverage outside of the Trunked System
In an effort to provide an 800 MHz user communication options when they are outside of the trunked system there have been a number of conventional repeaters installed at various locations around the State. The current coverage is spotty but will be improving as budgets permit.
The channel's are for the most part, National Mutual Aid Repeaters and are called ICALL and ITAC 1 thru 4. There are a few exceptions that are noted on the maps and list's provided. The associated Dispatch Centers are noted in the text boxes next to the Site locations on the maps. There are some sites that were installed primarily for testing or for a specific agency need and are not associated with a dispatch center at this time.
NOTE
Over time we have found that because of low traffic volume on the mutual aid channels the dispatch centers have a tendency to turn down or mute these channels. If you know you are going to need dispatch to monitor these channels we suggest that you contact the area dispatch center and verify that they are monitoring.
We would encourage suggestions for ways to improve or make this information more clear and useable for users. Please refer questions or comments to the "contact us" section of this Web Page.
