City and County of Honolulu
System Type: Ericsson EDACS/ProVoice digital
RF Band: 800 MHz
Update 1: 7/18/12: System frequencies updated in late 2011 for
APEC
Update 2: 7/18/12: Honolulu DES Refuse (Trash) Collection using
decimal talkgroup range 1313-1335)
Introduction
In 1996, the City & County of Honolulu contracted with Ericsson/GE
to install and implement an islandwide 800 MHz trunked radio system
that had the capability of doing both analog and digital voice
at an initial cost of $19 million. The radio system would eventually
handle communications for a variety of city, county, and state
agencies, including: Honolulu Police, Honolulu Fire, EMS, Ocean
Safety, and Oahu Transit Services. Numerous problems with AEGIS
digital voice, system upgrades to support ProVoice digital and
mobile data computers pushed the price tag to over $60 million
in just five years.
System Layout
The Honolulu County EDACS radio system handles analog and
digital voice communications, as well as MDT traffic utilizing
13 repeaters located at these locations on the island of Oahu:
- Simulcast
- Sand Island
- Puu Manawahua
- Waikiki
- Waimanalo
- Kaneohe
- Kaaawa
- Kawela
- Mokuleia
- USN-Whitmore
- Lualualei
- Waianae
- Keaau
System Users
Users include the following city, state, and federal agencies:
Honolulu Police Department (mid-1996, full switchover to
800 MHz June 1997, full switchover to ProVoice digital 9 April
2002), Department of Emergency Management (June 2001),
ESD-Ocean Safety Division (October 2001), Oahu Transit
Services-TheBus (November 2002), Oahu Transit Services-TheHandiVan
(November 2003), Honolulu DPS Sheriffs (3rd Quarter 2004),
Honolulu Fire Department (Initial testing 2004, VHF/800
MHz simulcast 11 May 2005, full switchover mix mode analog/digital
1 June 2005), ESD-Emergency Medical Services (initial tests
18 September 2005, UHF/800 MHz simulcast June 2007, full switchover
digital December 2012), Honolulu DES Refuse Division (2012)
The Federal Fire Department and the United States Coast
Guard (Sector Honolulu) have radios for interoperability with
other agencies.
Radios Used
These agencies use the following radios:
- Honolulu Police (Orion
mobiles, Jaguar 700P portables)
- Department of Emergency
Management (Orion mobles, Jaguar 700P/7100 portables)
- Ocean Safety Division
(Jaguar 700P Portable)
- Oahu Transit Services-TheBus
(Buses: phone handset with multi-function MDC; Transit supervisors
use LPE-200s)
- Oahu Transit Services-TheHandiVan:
EDACS 500M mobiles
- Honolulu DPS Sheriffs
(Jaguar 700P portables)
- Honolulu Fire Department
(Orion mobiles, Jaguar 7100 portables)
- Emergency Medical Services
(Jaguar 700P/7100 portables)
- Honolulu DES Refuse Division (Unknown)
Monitoring this system
Any scanner with EDACS trunking capability (TrunkTracker II
or higher) are able to monitor analog traffic of an EDACS trunked
radio system. The list of scanners capable of doing this is quite
extensive, so I will not list them here. It is important to note
that digital transmissions (AEGIS or ProVoice) cannot be monitored
with any scanner.
When monitoring an EDACS system in conventional mode, you will
understand quite easily the frustration of trying to monitor such
a system -- loud beeps unrelated to normal system traffic prevents
the scanner from scanning to find the next transmission. Buzzsaw
noises that you hear on system frequencies are either digital
transmissions or packet data from mobile data computers (MDCs).
The anti-scanner beeps was designed by General Electric (GE) to
discourage scanner enthusiasts from monitoring system traffic.
Thanks to EDACS capable scanners and several years of hard work,
Ericsson EDACS systems in Hawaii and around the nation can now
be monitored.
System Frequencies
The following list are frequencies for the City & County
of Honolulu 800 MHz Ericsson EDACS radio system, in logical channel
number (LCN) order. The system in 1996 was first designed with
18 radio transmitter sites (not listed above were Aliamanu, Round
Top, Leahi, Koko Head and Kapaa). From October to November 2001,
the Aliamanu, Round Top, Leahi, and Koko Head radio transmitter
sites were merged and frequencies were added into a single simulcast
system that now covers the entire south shore of Oahu from Campbell
Industrial Park to Hawaii Kai. The Kapaa radio site was merged
with the Kaneohe radio site to provide wide-area coverage in the
windward site. The site modification allowed more voice frequencies
to become available for other sites on the island. In turn, the
availability of more frequencies allowed all other sites around
the island to receive upgrades. The upgrades were done in part
to prepare the system for additional users and traffic from mobile
data computers. In 2007, two additional frequencies were added
to the Simulcast site. In 2010, the Windward area on Oahu was
the first to be rebanded to the new federally mandated public
safety frequencies in the 851-862 MHz range.
You need to program your scanner in LCN order and in EDACS mode
to be able to monitor system traffic. If you do neither, your
scanner may tune to a wrong transmission, miss a transmission,
or not be able to find a control channel in order.
