These labels are listed below and all participating agencies should use these <br />labels if possible. Alphanumeric radio displays should be consistent with the examples listed below <br />depending on each radio's capability. Any reference to previous identifiers (for example "Intercity") <br />should be removed from the radio display. <br /> <br />3-Digit - TL 1 / TF1 / TM 1 / T A2 <br />6-Digit - TEX L 1 / TEX F1 / TEX M 1 / TEX A2 <br />8-Digit - TEX LAW1 / TEXFIRE1 / TEX MED1 / TEX AIR2 <br />10-Digit - TEXAS LA.W1 / TEXAS FIRE1 / TEXAS MED1 / TEXAS AIR2 <br /> <br />4. SPECIFIC GUIDELlNES.- VHF 150 MHz Narrowband Channels <br /> <br />For narrowband VHF interoperability, the five narrowband channels described in Figure 2 below will <br />be used. All of these channels are simplex and are not to be used in a repeater or mobile relay <br />configuration other than in conjunction with a temporary patch or temporary gateway connection. <br />Note the following: <br /> <br />. Narrowband VHF interoperability channels are identified by the FCC for interoperability use <br />within Texas. Some of these interoperable channels may already be licensed by local <br />agencies throughout the state for interoperability use. <br /> <br />· The channel VCALL is designated as a multi-discipline, multi-agency public safety <br />interoperability calling channel for all public safety agencies and other signatories to the <br />MOU associated with this channel plan. The channel is designated for interoperable VHF <br />narrowband communications between mobile/portable radios and base stations, temporary <br />base stations and on-incident incident commander. <br /> <br />· The tactical channels VfAC1 - VfAC4 should be assigned on-incident by the incident <br />commander. <br /> <br />10 <br />
