What happens if the 800 Radio System goes into Fail Soft?
If a major problem occurred with the 800 trunking system we could automatically go into Fail Soft. Everyone would automatically go onto one of 16 channels assigned by talkgroup.. When this happens you may hear departments other than yours on your radio. If we were to go into Fail Soft you need to make sure your radio is on your primary operations channel. For County dispatched agencies that would be your zone. During Fail Soft operation County Wide communications are not possible. You will know that we are in Fail Soft because your radio will beep every 10 seconds and Fail Soft will show on your display, and it will sound like there is an open carrier on your radio. The local channels will work the same as they always do. Depending on the problem the National Channels should also be operational. There will be no PTAC, Emergency, Police Regional, Countywide, or Data (voice channel at County) channels. MDTs will be operational. At the County we will lose our consoles and will be operatin
