INTRODUCTION

The Oklahoma Field Operations Guide (OKFOG) is an operational guide for emergency responders that:

Provides guidance to emergency responders in the use of interoperable radio resources to be used on a day-to-day basis, as well as when they are called upon to respond outside of their normal area of operations to provide multi-agency, multi-disciplinary and multi-jurisdictional communications;

Provides agencies with guidelines for proper use, naming, and programming of shared radio channels;

Provides Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the use of interoperable radio resources based on statewide and regional interoperability plans; and

Provides technical reference information for radio technicians to program local agency radios for optimal interoperable capabilities.

The information in this guide is intended to assist public safety personnel in identifying the proper radio channels to use when responding outside their primary service area, whether in another part of the state or to a major disaster in a different state. We encourage you to have as many of these interoperability channels programmed in your radios as possible.

To request copies or to comment on the OKFOG, please email us at [email protected]

Thank you.

available in radios at the incident scene.

Step 2 – Establish and communicate Calling Channel(s) and Check-in Location information to responding agencies and local communications

center(s).

Step 3 – Ensure that communications personnel either at the incident scene or local communications

center(s) are monitoring the established Calling Channel(s).

Remainder of this page left blank.

Responding to Incidents Outside Your Normal Area of Operation

Upon Official RequestRESPOND ONLY WHEN REQUESTED —

DO NOT SELF-DISPATCH!

Step 1 – Determine what Calling Channel(s) are available in your radio.

Step 2 – Determine if any incident Calling Channel(s) or Check-in Location has been communicated with

the request for assistance.

Step 3 – Report to the established Check-in Location or use the designated Calling Channel to contact

Incident Command for instructions upon approaching the incident scene.

Step 4 – If no Calling Channel has been designated, use the Calling Channel(s) available in your radio and attempt to contact Incident Command upon

approaching the scene; try available Calling Channels in the following order:

National Mutual Aid Channels (VCALL10, UCALL40D or ICALLD/8CALL90D) in direct

modeNational Mutual Aid Channels (UCALL40 or

ICALL/8CALL90) in repeater mode

Statewide Common Channels (STATE LAW/OKLAW1, STATE FIRE/OKFIRE1, or

STATE LG MA/OKLGMA1)

Step 5 – If no response on a Calling Channel, phone the nearest local communications center for

assistance.

1 GUIDELINES FOR INTEROPERABLE RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

The OKFOG is a pocket-sized listing of land mobile radio (LMR) channels that are often used for interoperable communications among first responders in Oklahoma. It provides SOPs for the use of interoperable communications resources by emergency responders.

1.1 HOW TO USE THE OKFOGThe OKFOG may be used by emergency responders when requiring radio interoperability on statewide and regional radio channels. When using these shared resources, emergency responders should follow the SOPs provided herein. The OKFOG also provides communications guidance for response to incidents using the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS). This guide provides technical information for radio technicians when programming interoperable channels in radios. It is recommended that all public safety agencies have these channels programmed in radios rather than waiting until a disaster is imminent or occurring to do the programming. The OKFOG may also be of use to emergency communications planners.

1.2 ESTABLISHED EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS PLANS

The OKFOG is the statewide guide for possible use in a situation where no other radio interoperability arrangement was promulgated by local authorities or where emergency responders are unaware of such an arrangement. The OKFOG does NOT supersede any Federal, State, tribal, local, or regional emergency communications plan. If you are

dispatched to a disaster or incident scene and have no other information on how to make contact with other emergency responders, the OKFOG provides SOPs and identifies mutual aid radio channels that may be used to make initial contact.


2 INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM (ICS)ICS, as a part of NIMS, is a standard, on-scene, all-hazards incident management concept and shall be used during all incidents in the state of Oklahoma.

The ICS organization is both modular and flexible. In many incidents not all ICS positions will be required. For example, when the incident does not require implementation of a Logistics Section, the communications function will report directly to Incident or Unified Command. Likewise, at the onset of an incident, the Communications Unit Leader (COML) may report directly to Incident or Unified Command when a Logistics Section is not yet operational.

The following page contains a basic ICS organizational structure that might be used in

response to an incident requiring a multi-agency, multi-disciplinary, and/or multi-jurisdictional

response.

3 RESPONDING TO INCIDENTS WITH ESTABLISHED INCIDENT COMMAND

When directed to respond to an incident where ICS has been established and you have not been given an assignment, check-in location or communications instructions, you should use following the guidelines:

1. Contact Incident Command for instructions. (See Section 3.1 for communications procedures when responding outside your normal service area.)

2. Report to location assigned by Incident Command for check-in. You should check in only once. This will typically be at the Incident Command Post, Staging Area or a Base. In some instances, you may be directed to report directly to an operational assignment.

3.1 COMMUNICATIONS WHEN RESPONDING OUTSIDE NORMAL SERVICE AREA

When responding to incidents outside your normal service area, you need to know how to contact

Incident Command when you get near the incident location. If no information was provided at the time of initial dispatch to the remote incident, you should

attempt to determine while en route what radio channel to use upon arrival. Information in the

OKFOG can assist.

3.1.1 Know Your Interoperability ChannelsYou need to know the frequency band (800 MHz, UHF, VHF Low Band, or VHF High Band) of your

radios and what interoperability channels are programmed into the radios.

Use the Responder Radio Information pages in the front of this guide to list the mutual aid channels

programmed into your radio(s).

3.1.2 Identify Channels Used in County of IncidentSection 4, County Emergency Interoperable

Communications, lists calling channels available in each county. This section also lists the primary

communications centers in each county, the frequency bands/systems used by each

communications center for mutual aid, and the telephone number of each center.

3.1.3 Using Calling ChannelsAs you approach the incident scene, you should attempt to make contact on one of the designated “calling channels” in the following priority:

National Mutual Aid Direct–VCALL10, UCALL40D or 8CALL90D (ICALLD prior to rebanding).

National Mutual Aid Repeater Mode for UHF and 800 MHz–UCALL40 or 8CALL90 (ICALL prior to rebanding).

Oklahoma Common Channels–VHF users should try calling on their discipline-specific Oklahoma mutual aid channel, STATE LAW (OKLAW1), STATE FIRE (OKFIRE1), STATE LG MA (OKLGMA1) or HEARS [EMS] (VMED28). If there is no contact on one

channel, such as STATE LAW, try the other channel, in this case OKLAW1.

RESPONDERS MAY BE DIRECTED TO OTHER MUTUAL AID CHANNELS FOR INCIDENT

OPERATIONS AFTER MAKING INITIAL CONTACT OR CHECKING IN.

3.2 PLAIN LANGUAGEAll incident communications shall be in plain

language. Radio codes, acronyms, and abbreviations are to be avoided as they may cause

confusion between agencies.

Plain words such as “help,” “assistance,” and “backup” may have different operational meanings

to different agencies.The words “emergency traffic” should be used in the

context of a life-threatening situation.The word “help” should not be used alone unless in

the context of a life-threatening situation.Requests for assistance or backup should specify the reason(s) for the request and be acknowledged

by someone.

3.3 IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURESWhen using interoperable resources, emergency

responders should use the following identification procedures:

The agency name or identifier shall precede the unit identifier.

For non-federal agencies in Oklahoma, the standard way of calling another unit/ICS position is to identify

your call sign, followed by the call sign of the unit you are calling. (For example, “Moore Engine 14, Highway Patrol 1614” or “Division B, XAL Strike

Team 2001C” or “4 Charlie Baker, Tulsa Battalion 3.”) This process is critical, especially when a unit

is broadcasting an emergency.Units must use their agency-assigned unit

designator during transmissions. These should not be shortened and should include the entire set of

letters and/or numbers.Base stations should identify themselves by using

their agency name along with any other usual identifier.

When neighboring agencies operating on different radio systems respond to mutual aid incidents, units

should finish their broadcast with the channel on which they are transmitting. (For example,

“Oklahoma City Engine 51, Division B on SMA3” or “Operations, Division A on OKFIRE1.”)

3.4 ENCRYPTIONThe use of any mutual aid channel for transmission

of any encoded, encrypted, or scrambled message is prohibited.

5 GUIDELINES FOR THE PROGRAMMING AND USE OF INTEROPERABILITY RADIO CHANNELS

5.1 ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION IN A MUTUAL AID SYSTEM

As a general rule, mutual aid systems are open to all emergency responders of the discipline(s) for which

the specific mutual aid system is designed.

5.2 USE OF INTEROPERABILITY CHANNELSAll radio transmissions on interoperability channels are for official use only. The radio frequencies may legally be used under the following circumstances:

The user agency retains a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license or a National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) authorization for these frequencies or the user is covered by another authority’s license.

The non-Federal National Interoperability Channels VCALL10, VTAC11-14, UCALL40, UTAC41-43, ICALL/8CALL90, and ITAC1-4/8TAC91-94 are covered by a “blanket authorization” from the FCC for mobile operation, but base stations and control stations still require individual licenses. (See FCC 00-348, released 10/10/2000, paragraph 90.)

The NTIA issues a “Temporary Assignment” for the use of Federal channels in a particular area/event.

The user is assigned to an incident with those radio frequencies/channels/talkgroups listed on ICS-205:

Incident Radio Communications Plan.

89

The use of the frequency is necessary for the IMMEDIATE protection of life or property. When

necessary, radio users may use prudent measures beyond the specifics of their license.

Note: The OKFOG does not grant authority to operate on radio frequencies. Such authority comes

in the situations indicated above.

5.3 OKLAHOMA STATEWIDE VHF MUTUAL AID CHANNELS

For many years, public safety agencies in Oklahoma have licensed several VHF channels to be used for

mutual aid. With the exception of the HEARS (EMS) channel (155.340 MHz), the appropriate use of these

channels is not clearly defined.

The following definitions are provided for the recommended appropriate use of these channels:

STATE LAW (155.490 MHz) – Tactical channel for law enforcement agencies for on-scene coordination of

law enforcement activities, but can be used as determined by the incident commander for any discipline. Can be used by en route emergency

resources seeking to make contact with the Incident Command Post or staging area(s) at a large-scale

incident. Channel should not be used as an agency’s dispatch channel, paging channel or

primary operations channel. Proper narrowband name for this frequency is OKLAW1.

90

STATE FIRE (154.130 MHz) – Tactical channel for fire agencies for mutual aid response, but can be used as determined by the incident commander for any discipline. Can be used by en route emergency

resources seeking to make contact with the Incident Command Post or staging area(s) at a large-scale

incident. Channel should not be used as an agency’s dispatch channel, paging channel or

primary operations channel. Proper narrowband name for this frequency is OKFIRE1.

STATE NET (155.670 MHz) – Point-to-point channel installed at communications centers throughout the

state. Channel may be used by communications centers for interagency incident coordination as

necessary. Proper narrowband name for this frequency is OKNET1.

HEARS [EMS] (155.340 MHz) – Channel used for Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support

(ALS) communications with a primary purpose of communications between emergency medical field personnel and hospital personnel directing patient

care prior to arrival at the hospital. Secondary purpose is on-scene medical coordination for

mobile-to-mobile medical communications. Can be used by en route EMS resources seeking to make

contact with the Incident Command Post or staging area(s) at a large-scale incident. Proper narrowband

name for this frequency is VMED28.STATE LG MA (155.760 MHz) – Mutual aid channel

primarily for local government use, but can be used by any discipline for a mutual aid response or

assigned to any discipline by the incident

91

commander. Can be used by en route emergency resources seeking to make contact with the Incident

Command Post or staging area(s) at a large-scale incident. Channel should not be used as an

agency’s dispatch channel, paging channel or primary operations channel. Proper narrowband

name for this frequency is OKLGMA1.

The use of these frequencies requires an FCC license. Agencies may use these channels for

mobile operation pursuant to an authorization from a licensee within the licensee’s FCC-approved area of

operation. Base stations must be individually licensed by agencies. Emergency responders are

encouraged to program ALL statewide shared channels into agency radios and use them when

appropriate in emergency situations. These channels should not be used as an agency’s dispatch channel, paging channel or primary

operations channel. Agencies that currently use these channels for such purposes are strongly

encouraged to move these communications to other channels.

5.4 NARROWBANDING OF VHF AND UHF RADIO FREQUENCIES

The FCC mandated that all private LMR users (includes public safety) operating between 150 MHz and 512 MHz (VHF High Band, UHF) move both voice and data channel operations to 12.5 kHz narrowband

by January 1, 2013. Mandatory narrowbanding

92

promotes the more efficient use of the VHF and UHF land mobile bands.

Oklahoma’s emergency response community must work together to develop plans that allow for a

smooth transition to narrowbanding. The OKFOG includes pre- and post- narrowbanding channels.

After the entire state transitions to the narrowband frequencies, pre-narrowbanding channels in the

tables will be removed.

5.5 LIMITATIONS ON USE OF INTEROPERABILITY CHANNELS

Not all frequencies are available statewide for use as described in the OKFOG. Some channels in this plan may not be usable due to the potential for adjacent channel interference in some areas or due to authorized on-channel uses that are different than the common uses described in the OKFOG.

5.6 CHANNEL/TALKGROUP NAMESStandardized channel/talkgroup names should be stated in widely used terms (for example, OKLAW1 or 8TAC90). Channel/talkgroup numbers corresponding to how a specific radio is programmed should not be used unless the resource cannot display “alpha” characters (for example, “Channel 1” or “Channel A14”). The OKFOG uses standardized channel names established by the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC) and the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) for nationally recognized mutual aid channels. A complete list of standardized channel names can be found in the Standard Channel Nomenclature for the Public Safety Interoperability Channels APCO/NPSTCANS 1.104.1-2010. (See

93

http://apcointl.org/new/commcenter911/documents/APCO-NPSTC-ANS1-104-1web.pdf.).

5.7 PRIORITY LEVELSMany statewide mutual aid systems are limited to emergency operations, with the exception of tests

and drills. When a higher priority use is required, all lower priority use must cease in any area where

interference could occur.

Priority levels for statewide mutual aid systems are as follows:

Disaster and extreme emergency operations for mutual aid and interagency operations

Emergency or urgent operations involving imminent safety of life or property

Special event control activities, generally of a preplanned nature and generally involving joint

participation of two or more agenciesDrills, tests, and exercises

Single agency secondary communications. OKLAW1, OKFIRE1 and OKLGMA1 may be used for

local day-to-day secondary communications. Authorized secondary communications may include:

1) events, 2) training exercises, and 3) on-scene tactical or fireground operations when other

channels are not available.

5.8 OUT-OF-AREA/ITINERANT MOBILESAgencies maintaining base stations are encouraged

to monitor mutual aid channels at all times.

94

http://apcointl.org/new/commcenter911/documents/APCO-NPSTC-ANS1-104-1web.pdf

Typically, these channels are the only means for personnel traveling outside their normal jurisdiction

to obtain assistance or to report traffic collisions, fires or other hazards.

5.9 FCC AND NTIA RULES AND REGULATIONSNon-federal communications are governed by FCC rules and regulations, Title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 0-199 (See http://wireless.fcc.gov/rules.html.)

Part 87 Aviation ServicesPart 90 Private Land Mobile Radio Services (includes public safety)Part 95 Personal Radio Services (includes GMRS, FRS, CB, & MURS)Part 97 Amateur Radio Service

*The Oklahoma VHF Interoperability Channels listed above must use a 12.5 kHz bandwidth by January 1, 2013. If capacity permits, it is recommended these Oklahoma VHF Interoperability Channels be programmed as both wideband and narrowband in radios. If capacity is limited, the Oklahoma VHF Interoperability Channels should be programmed as wideband and reprogrammed for narrowband emission as part of a communications plan to transition local frequencies to narrowband.

†Default operation should be CSQ receive, CTCSS 156.7 Hz (5A) transmit. If the user can enable/disable without reprogramming the radio, the indicated CTCSS tone should also be programmed for receive, and the user instructed how and when to enable/disable.

6.10 OKLAHOMA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT VHF RADIO SYSTEM

Radio frequency 155.235 MHz is the recognized statewide EM VHF radio frequency. It is licensed through the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management. This frequency is linked in some

areas to the OKWIN 800 MHz trunked radio system on talkgroup SEMA-3 using "cross-band" devices.

Using certain CTCSS tones or DCS codes in specific areas of the state allows authorized VHF users to

communicate with the State EOC in Oklahoma City through the OKWIN system.

This system is primarily a resource for Emergency Managers.

The primary intended use of this frequency is for resource ordering and status updates. It is NOT

intended to be used as a tactical frequency, such as for storm spotting or as a wildfire operations net.

How the system works:When a VHF user keys up within range and on the

right CTCSS/DCS of a cross-bander, the transmission is automatically retransmitted on the

OKWIN SEMA-3 talkgroup, similar to what one would hear on a repeater, even though 155.235 MHz is a

simplex/direct frequency. This is because the OKWIN 800 MHz system is effectively a very-wide-area repeater system. Users on VHF, however, will

not hear each other unless they are within

114

simplex/direct range of each other as the cross-banders do not repeat the VHF transmission on VHF.

How to use the system:Key up your VHF radio and pause before speaking.

Then say your FCC call sign and complete unit identifier prior to transmitting your message.

How to tell if it worked:If your message was successfully retransmitted on 800 MHz, you will receive a “squelch tail” back on

VHF. If you do NOT receive the squelch tail:

You are too far away from the cross-bander for it to have received your transmission.

You are using the wrong CTCSS tone or DCS code.

You are on wideband and need to be on narrowband.

The 800 MHz radio was unsuccessful in obtaining a channel grant on the trunked radio system.

Occasionally a cross-bander will be unable to access the OKWIN system because of a trunked

“system busy”. If this occurs, you will not receive a squelch tail. Wait one minute and re-try your

transmission.

The table below lists the CTCSS tones or DCS codes for access to the system. CTCSS tones are used for

115

wideband cross-banders that have not yet been narrowbanded. New cross-banders are narrowband

when they are installed and will use DCS codes.

NOTE: Units communicating between mobiles/handhelds and their local EOC or between EOCs

should do so in carrier squelch mode if using a wideband channel or use the CTCSS tone 156.7 Hz if

using a narrowband channel to prevent the possibility of

7 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROGRAMMING THE OKLAHOMA INTEROPERABILITY CHANNELS

If there is enough room in your radio, program all Oklahoma statewide shared channels. For frequencies that are currently used as wideband channels, program both wideband and narrowband channels.

It is understood that many radios currently in use by public safety agencies have limited channel capacity and therefore not all of the interoperability channels can be programmed into the radios. Similarly, some

are still not narrowband capable, and the national VHF/UHF interoperability channels cannot be

programmed into these radios.

The table below identifies the recommended shared channels in order of recommended priority for VHF

and UHF radios.

* First priority should be the agency’s discipline. (For example, Priority 1 for law enforcement agencies would be OKLAW1 [STATE LAW-

wideband]; Priority 1 for fire service would be OKFIRE1 [STATE FIRE-wideband]; and PRIORITY

1 for EMS would be VMED28 [HEARS (EMS)-wideband].)

If your radio has a user-selectable option to enable/disable CTCSS on receive, you may choose to configure this option so that the user can enable the same CTCSS tone used on

119

transmit for receive. The default configuration should be CSQ receive.


120

8 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR THE USE OF INTEROPERABILITY RESOURCES IN OKLAHOMA

The following procedures should be followed when using any radio resource for interoperability among

emergency responders, including radio caches, shared channels, gateways and shared systems.

8.1 APPLICATION OF INTEROPERABILITY RESOURCES

When establishing interoperable communications the following priorities are recommended:

Use interoperability channels and talkgroupsEstablish patches in communications centers

Deploy fixed system gateway solutionsDeploy mobile gatewaysHand out cache radios

Employ face-to-face communication methods

8.2 GENERAL RULES GOVERNING THE USE OF INTEROPERABILITY RESOURCES

The following are general rules and apply to the use of all interoperability resources:

Use of an ICS compliant with NIMS when using any interoperability resources for incident response.

Plain language – Multi-jurisdictional communications shall be in plain language. Avoid using radio codes, acronyms and abbreviations as

121

they may cause confusion between agencies. Additionally, it should be understood that plain

words such as “help,” “assistance,” “repeat” and “backup” may have different operational meanings to different agencies. The word “help” should not

be used alone unless in the context of a life-threatening situation.

Unit Identification - In multi-jurisdictional incidents, the jurisdiction’s name will precede the unit

identifier. (For example, Oklahoma City Engine 10, Norman Engine 10, Edmond Car 10 or Lexington Car

2.)

8.3 SHARED CHANNEL/TALKGROUP RULES OF USE

Shared channels/talkgroups can be used for situations that require interoperable

communications and for the coordination of multiple public safety entities and/or activities. Section 8.2, General Rules Governing the Use of Interoperability

Resources, applies.

Proper use of shared channels/talkgroups is:

As working channels for multiple fire departments fighting a fire together

For coordination during a police chase through multiple jurisdictions where the agencies have no

other communications link with each otherFor communications between multiple police

agencies during extended joint operations, such as drug operations, riots, etc.

122

For coordination during recovery operations after a disaster, such as a tornado event when Federal,

State and local officials require a common communications link

8.4 NATIONAL MUTUAL AID INTEROPERABILITY CHANNELS USE

The table below identifies the proper uses of the VHF, UHF and National Public Safety Planning

Advisory Committee (NPSPAC) (800 MHz) mutual aid channels.

event8TAC94ITAC4D

8TAC94D*The “D” in the Channel ID indicates the “direct” or

“talk-around” mode, that is, non-repeater.

When using national mutual aid channels for communications, the agency should ensure the

desired mutual aid channel is clear and available for assignment.

Below are procedures for the use of the national mutual aid CALL and TAC channels.

8.4.1 Procedures for VCALL10, UCALL40 or ICALL/8CALL90

UCALL40 and ICALL/8CALL90 shall be left in the repeater Enabled mode.

Any radio user may hail on VCALL10, UCALL40 or ICALL/8CALL90.

It will be the responsibility of any dispatch center hearing a call to respond to the unit that is calling on

the mutual aid CALL channel.Dispatch centers with VCALL10, UCALL40 or

ICALL/8CALL90 base stations are encouraged to monitor these channels at all times.

124

8.4.2 Procedures for VTAC, UTAC and ITAC Channels

UTAC and ITAC repeaters should be in the repeater Disabled mode.

When a unit hails on a mutual aid CALL channel and it is determined that a large-scale mutual aid

incident is going to take place or no other ITAC channel is appropriate or available, the dispatcher

will advise the units involved to select a designated ITAC channel.

The dispatch center may enable any available UTAC or ITAC repeater as required for unit-to-unit

communications.When the incident is over or requires

communications through another dispatch center, the dispatch center will disable the repeater.

The field unit notifies the dispatch center once the assigned UTAC or ITAC channel is no longer

needed.The dispatch center ensures the repeater is disabled

and makes it available for the next assignment.Direct or talk-around communications on a VTAC, UTAC, or ITAC channel may be used when two or more units are in close proximity to each other.

For an extended incident and as appropriate, the dispatcher assigning the mutual aid TAC channel(s)

is responsible for notifying COMLs and affected dispatchers or agency communications centers that

the mutual aid channel is in use.

Dispatcher Responsibilities – Disable the repeaters when the incident is done. When monitoring mutual

125

aid channels, if units are heard communicating and there is a question of authorization, the dispatcher should request unit identification. If unauthorized

communications are taking place, adjoining communications centers should be called to identify the users. Officer safety may be compromised if the channel(s) are inadvertently disabled or otherwise altered. If unauthorized traffic is being passed, the

primary communications center can disable the repeater to halt its use. Follow-up activity by the

communications center should ensure future unauthorized use is mitigated.

8.5 STATEWIDE INTEROPERABILITY GATEWAYSThe following guidelines are provided for

interoperability channel patching:

Always secure frequency licensee permission before patching.

Consider terrain and other agencies affected and potential interference before patching.

Whenever possible, position gateways and mobile command posts on the highest terrain available to

achieve maximum antenna height.Accomplish patching on tactical or command channels. The following Oklahoma common

channels — STATE LAW (OKLAW1), STATE FIRE (OKFIRE1), STATE LG MA (OKLGMA1), EMA, and

HEARS [EMS] (VMED28) — are heavily used throughout the state and subject to interference. These channels should NOT be patched with the

OKWIN system or to any operational repeater for on-

126

scene incident operations under normal circumstances.

Always indicate patched channels on the ICS-205 form.

Because of co-channel and co-band interference, it is recommended that patching from a vehicle be

limited to one channel on VHF Low Band, VHF High Band, UHF, and 800 MHz radio systems due to

rooftop antenna separation issues.Generally, patch channels using low RF power to

reduce interference.The person responsible for on-scene

communications should continually monitor all patched channels for interference and other

technical problems.Only patch channels as long as necessary.

Always broadcast on the affected channels when the patch is brought up, brought down and when

channels are added or removed from the patch.

127

9 OKWIN REGIONAL INTEROPERABILITY PROCEDURES

The OKWIN 800 MHz radio system has statewide mutual aid talkgroups, designated as SMAs, and

regional mutual aid talkgroups, designated as RMAs. There are five regions in the OKWIN system. The

Channel IDs for RMA talkgroups have the two letter regional designator as part of the Channel ID. For

example, RMA NW is a regional mutual aid talkgroup in the Northwest Region; RMAs in the Central

Region have RMA CN as Channel IDs, etc. The first channel in each set of RMAs is the calling channel

for that region.

A regional map of Oklahoma is provided on the following page as a reference.
