Subject: Missing Vertex portable radio 05-03
I almost forgot…..we have been unable to locate one Vertex 600. It should have 05-03 engraved on the top face of the radio. I am not so much concerned that the radio is lost as that it may be left with the improper programming. That could be a serious problem some day. It should have the old laminated programming card on it. If you happen to come across this radio please send it to Jake or myself. Thank you.
Subject: Vertex 600 portable radios
Hello all,
Jake has spent a good chunk of time updating the programming on the Vertex 600 portable radios. These radios are used as reserve and backup radios. I want to call your attention to a few details so that you are familiar with their operation.
These old school non-alpha numeric radios have a total of 48 channels. The channels are contained in three zones of 16 channels. There is a toggle switch on the top right side that controls the zones. The zones are identified as A; I; and B. In keeping with some a portion of the Clatsop County Fire programming Matrix these radios have been programmed the same as the A and B zones of the other radios. The “I” zone has been set up with the Clatsop County mobilization zone channels. We hope that this particular arrangement will give the maximum amount of versatility with the 48 channels that are available.
There are laminated channel cards attached with Velcro to the face of each radio. In keeping with revised SOG 121 these radios are to be stored with the channel selector in ZONE B-Channel One which is Orange. Please take a few minutes to re-familiarize yourself with these radios. I have attached a few pictures and the pending SOG revision to help illustrate the subject. Thank you.
