EDACS Patch Tracking
EDACS systems sometimes bring several talkgroups together in a ‘Patch’. A patch might be
used by a police agency at night to provide a single channel with a single dispatcher for a
wide area. A patch is created when a single, temporary talkgroup substitutes for the original
talkgroups. While the patch is running, which may be for hours or days, the original
talkgroups cease to be used. If you were monitoring one of these talkgroups, you might think
there was no traffic, but in fact the talkgroup was operating at the different temporary
number.
If a talkgroup in your Scan List is patched, your scanner will continue to receive it under its
new identity until the patch has ended. When a patch is being received, the radio will display
PATCH ID
, and will show the temporary common talkgroup plus all the included
talkgroups in a cycling display. The BC796D is limited to following one patches. The
temporary talkgroups used for patches are usually found in AFS code 15-xxx, and
sometimes 00-xxx.
