The Pikes Peak
Communications Network is
overseen by a board of
directors and a system
manager. The radio system is
funded by local government
agencies and users on the
network.

The PPRCN Radio System
There are 13 towers supporting our system,
technically defined as SITES:
Calhan – Northeast El Paso County
Truckton – Southeast El Paso County
Mt. Pittsburg – South, Hwy 115
Ski Summit - Above the Broadmoor
Cedar Heights – Rampart Range Rd
Stanley Canyon – West of the USAFA
Black Forest - North County Line area
Austin Bluffs – Near UCCS
Templeton Gap – Near Powers & Stetson Hills
Colorado Springs Airport
Fountain Valley - Ray Nixon Power Plant area
Badger Mountain – West of Teller County
Woodland Park – Above Woodland Park
5
The following communications centers
utilize the 800 MHz radio system:
El Paso County
City of Colorado Springs – Eight CC’s
City of Fountain
City of Manitou Springs
City of Woodland Park
Colorado Springs Utilities – Three CC’s
El Paso / Teller E-911
6
There are two types of radios available to
users:
Mobiles: Mounted in vehicles
Portables: Handhelds, also known as HT’s.
Each agency or group has configured their
radios to meet their specific needs.
Depending on the model of the radio, buttons
and talkgroups on each mobile or portable
radio are programmed differently to meet the
needs of the individual agency or group.
7
Most radios are programmed to have easy
access to three “zones”; from the top of a
portable (a toggle switch in most cases) or
a button on the front of a mobile: A, B,
and C.
Most radios have access to 16 talkgroups in
each zone.
8
As a result, it’s rare that any two groups or
agencies have the same talkgroups in the
same place or the same button functionality
on their radios.
The C-Zone is the exception --
9
C-Zone
The “C-Zone” refers to the
talk groups programmed into
the radio’s memory for the
sole purpose of allowing all
the different agencies to
communicate with each
other during any incident
that requires two or more
agencies that do not
normally talk to each other in
their day to day operations.

C-Zone (Local)
(C2-C9)
Users requesting a C-Zone talkgroup may
include incident commanders, others as
needed for response, or as needed for
planned events. Assignments of C-Zone
talkgroups are initiated through a request
to a dispatch center:
C2 – C5 generally assigned by EPSO
C6 – C9 generally assigned by CSFD
13
C-Zone (Local)
(C2-C9)
The primary method for requesting a
C-Zone talkgroup for a new event, or to
determine which talkgroup is currently in
use for an existing event, is to contact your
own communications center or dispatchers
at one of the following:
*El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (radio position C1)
*Colorado Springs Fire Dispatch (radio position C16)
14
C-Zone (Local)
(C2-C9)
All users are able to join incident command or
operations for any event utilizing a C-Zone talkgroup.
Termination: Assigned agencies or groups will notify
their communications center that the event has been
completed. A subsequent intercom announcement to
EPSO, CSFD and City Utilities will be made by the
communications center to advise that the assigned
talkgroup has been cleared.
Interagency talkgroups C2-C9 are currently recorded at
the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office. Requests for
audio copies can be made by contacting their
communications center.
15
C-Zone (Local)

MAC Talkgroups
(Statewide)
M.A.C. = Mutual Aid Channels
MAC talkgroups are used to communicate among agencies or groups from outside
of El Paso County, and across the state. Use of MAC talkgroups is governed by
rules contained within the standard operating procedures of the CCNC, which is
the user group that sets standards for operations within the Statewide DTRS.
Advanced planned use of these talkgroups may be coordinated through the
Colorado State Patrol (CSP) or the Governor’s Office of Information Technology
(GOIT), but CCNC member usage of MAC talkgroups, which includes usage by
PPRCN members and participants, does not require prior coordination.
MAC 9 is monitored by CSP and EPSO. Listen to the MAC designated for your
type of incident, announce your usage of the chosen MAC, and then use it for
your incident. Regional coordination through your dispatch center may be useful
so others know the MAC talkgroup you are using.
MAC talkgroups are generally located by accessing the appropriate zone within
the soft key functionality on the front of the radios.
25
MAC Talkgroups
(Statewide)
Division and use of the MAC Talkgroups is
broken down into 5 state regions:
MAC 1-4
MAC 5-8

The PPRCN Radio System
A user’s radio becomes ‘affiliated’ with the system at
a repeater site whenever his radio determines that
both the signal is satisfactory and the user-selected
talkgroup is authorized to be carried via that site.
If a user’s radio is within range of a site with
substantially better coverage than the currently
affiliated site can provide, and where the selected
talkgroup is allowed, the radio will automatically
switch sites without user intervention.
29
The PPRCN Radio System
The user radio will remain affiliated at the last best
site until such time as another site can provide a
significantly better signal.
Site switching will occur only after several seconds of
voice inactivity on either a selected or a scanned
talkgroup. The radio can tune to either control
channels to measure signal quality provided by
adjacent sites, or else tune to voice traffic, but
cannot perform both simultaneously. Therefore,
adding too many talkgroups to a scan list may
hinder switching to sites providing better coverage.
30
The PPRCN Radio System
When an “Out of Range” message is displayed
on the LCD, and is accompanied by a long
tone, the radio is not affiliating with any site. A
significant change of location should provide
communication capabilities.
An individual user can improve communications
simply by not obstructing their handheld
antenna with their body or a solid surface.
31
The PPRCN Radio System
Be sure to hold the portable straight up and
down, holding it sideways will lessen the
antenna range of the portable.
A stronger signal may be obtained by simply
repositioning the portable radio and it’s
antenna to face another direction.
Take two steps in any direction and try again
to transmit.
32
The PPRCN Radio System
If wearing the portable, try to pick it up to
your mouth, and try again to transmit.
If in a building, get to a window and try again.
If a user is unable to communicate on a
portable, utilizing a mobile (vehicle radio)
might allow communications in that same
area since a mobile has greater wattage.
33
“Busy” Signals and Congestion:
Although the system has undergone upgrades
implementing technologies designed to
minimize ‘busies’, busies can still occur when
an inordinate amount of radio traffic overloads
the sites. This occurs primarily during large
incidents that involve multiple agencies and
multiple users requiring too many talkgroups at
any instant.
34
“Busy” Signals and Congestion:
If a busy tone is heard, all trunked
talkgroups are in use. Release the
transmit button and wait for three, quick,
call-back tones. When a call back is
received, your radio will automatically
“key up” for three seconds so that you
can key up and begin talking.
35
“Busy” Signals and Congestion:
If a continuous low-pitched tone is
heard, the radio is out of the system's
range. The red XMIT (transmit) indicator
may flash several times as the radio
tries to access the system. Release the
transmit button and try again when the
vehicle is driven within range of the
system.
36
“Busy” Signals and Congestion:
Try to steer communications as much as possible
away from repeated talkgroups.
For instance, if users are working an event in
relatively close proximity to each other, use a
local simplex mode setting on the radios. It will
allow good communications for that area, and
local users will not experience nor contribute to
system busy conditions while using their radio in
simplex mode.
37
“Busy” Signals and Congestion:
Assign incident operations to as few
talkgroups as possible.
An example would be to utilize the common
C-Zone talkgroups, as every user has
access to them.
38
“Busy” Signals and Congestion:
Only under the most unusual
circumstances should a user ask their
communication centers to “patch”
talkgroups, as this can also stress the
system unnecessarily (400 MHz
patched to 800 MHz is an exception).
39
“Busy” Signals and Congestion:
Don’t place the talkgroup selector of your radio on a
busy talkgroup that is in use distant from your
location, while your radio is affiliated to a rural site
with a limited number of frequency pairs like
Calhan, Truckton, Mt. Pittsburg, or Woodland
Park.
Due to limited radio site resources, monitoring in
this fashion could be responsible for causing a
busy condition in the distant area and in your
operational area at the same time. If not
associated with a large incident, please do not
40
monitor that talkgroup.
“Busy” Signals and Congestion:
Scanning the distant talkgroup is permitted,
as long as the scanning radio does not have
the distant talkgroup selected as the primary
talkgroup. Users should also understand
that scanning does not always result in the
user receiving all transmissions taking place
on a scanned talkgroup.
41
CONCENTRIC SWITCH
In most portable radios, the concentric
switch serves two purposes:
A-TalkAround/Direct(Conv)
Scan (Trunking)
B-Unprogrammed
SIMPLEX MODE and SCANNING
42
Simplex
A radio is referred to as being in the ‘simplex mode’ because
signals are passing from radio to radio, and not through the
radio repeaters that are located at tower sites.
Simplex is recommended when users are not able to
communicate effectively on a normal repeated talkgroup,
ie; in a large cement or metal building, or surrounded by
hills and valleys.
The users have a range of about ½ mile.
Users outside of that radius, e.g., communications centers,
will not be able to receive, monitor or communicate with
those units.
43
Simplex
Only select frequencies or selector switch positions are
capable of ‘simplex mode’ in El Paso County. Such simplex
channels are always in the simplex mode, and the channel
names are shown with a suffix “D” to symbolize “direct”
radio to radio (simplex) mode:
8CALL90D 8TAC91D 8TAC92D 8TAC93D 8TAC94D
ALWAYS SIMPLEX:
SMPX 1
SMPX 2
SMPX 3
SMPX 4
SMPX 5
STACD Air Medical Transport
44
Simplex
When a portable radio needs to be switched
over to the simplex mode:
1. Select the desired talkgroup.
2. Turn the concentric switch
on the top to the Ø symbol.
3. The LCD will then display a |--->| symbol
above the talkgroup name.
45
Simplex
Remember that not all talkgroups can be
changed to a simplex mode.
When changing the concentric switch to Ø
and the |--->| symbol does not appear,
then the radio is selected on a talkgroup
that cannot be put in simplex mode.
46
SCANNING
Scanning is a radio feature that allows the
listener to be alerted to, and receive radio
transmissions from more than one talkgroup.
If there is activity on a talkgroup that has been
programmed to scan, your radio will
automatically switch to that talkgroup.
47
SCANNING
To scan talkgroups on (most) portables:
1. Select on the primary talkgroup.
2. Turn the concentric switch on the top to the Ø
symbol.
3. The LCD will then display “Z” symbol above the
talkgroup name.
48
SCANNING
For most portable radios:
To select talk groups to SCAN: The
concentric switch can be in either
mode, “O” or “Ø”.
1.Select the button under PROG. A
flashing box above the talkgroup
name will indicate that the radio is in
the programming mode.
2. Select the button under SCAN.
49
SCANNING
3. The options are SEL to select a
talkgroup to scan or DEL to
delete a currently scanned
talkgroup.
The “Z ” symbol above the
talkgroup name will indicate that it
is programmed to scan.
50
SCANNING
While selecting or deleting talkgroups
to scan, the left and right arrow
buttons will step the radio through the
zones; A, B, C, D, E, etc.
To select a specific talkgroup within a
zone, turn the 16 position talkgroup
selector button to the desired
talkgroup.
51
SCANNING
When selections are complete,
press the HOME button below the
LCD to save the programming.
52
SCANNING
To simply view which talkgroups are
currently programmed for the radio to
scan, ensure the concentric switch is
selected on the non-scan position, “O”.
Press the button below VIEW.
Arrow back and forth to see all scanned
talkgroups.
53
Zone Navigation Procedure
The same soft keys under the LCD will allow
the user to access zones other than A, B
or C.
1. Press the — button below ZONE, the
zone letter currently on the LCD will start
blinking.
2. Use the right or left arrow to navigate to
the desired zone. The zone on the LCD
will change with each button push.
54
Zone Navigation Procedure
3. Once the desired zone is reached,
press the HOME button to lock in
that zone.
4. Use the 1-16 knob to access
talkgroups in the selected zone.
5. To leave that selected zone, repeat this
procedure or move the A,B,C toggle to
return to one of those zones.
55
EMERGENCY BUTTON
All PPRCN radios are programmed with an
active Emergency Alert button. Each user
agency or group is responsible for

EMERGENCY BUTTON
This alert signal is sent to the pre-selected
communications center for the radio in
question. The radio’s alias/ radio I.D. is
displayed in the communications center. The
communications center hears a loud beeping
alarm until the dispatcher manually silences
it. The center also receives a visual alarm
(red flashing icon) on the emergency button
talkgroup.
57
EMERGENCY BUTTON
The Emergency Alert button, located on the top
of the portable radios, and on the control face
of mobile radios, is programmed to transmit an
emergency notification and an identifier for
that radio.
The Emergency Alert button is to be activated
only in the event of a life threatening
emergency.
58
EMERGENCY BUTTON
Upon activation, the user’s radio automatically
switches to the designated emergency button
talk group.
Dependent upon individual radio programming,
the user may not hear any alert sounds. In
this case, the only indication to the user will
be that the radio’s LCD will flash between
talk groups or display “EA” for emergency
activation.
59
EMERGENCY BUTTON
The dispatcher receiving an emergency
alert is to verbally acknowledge the alert
signal over the designated EB talkgroup.
The verbiage is specific to the SOP’s of
the individual communications centers.
60
EMERGENCY BUTTON
If the user of the activated radio does not
respond to their communications center on
the emergency button talkgroup, the
activation will be processed according to
their center’s SOP.
61
EMERGENCY BUTTON
Users shall not de-activate their emergency
button until they have acknowledged with
their communications center. De-activation
occurs when the emergency button is
pushed again until a solid tone is heard.
62
EMERGENCY BUTTON
It is the responsibility of individual
agencies or groups to know which
personnel are assigned to a
specific radio for emergency button

64
General Radio Maintenance & Usage
DO NOT leave your portable radio on in the
charger.
When connecting or disconnecting any
accessories always have radio turned to
OFF position.
*Note* Do not touch any metal connectors
with your fingers, the oil from your skin
could affect it if repeatedly touched.
65
Battery - General Radio Maintenance & Usage
Batteries should be fully charged (10-12)
hours before the first use.
Again, do not touch the battery connectors
in your charger with your fingers. The oils
from your skin may cause damage if
repeatedly touched.
66
Battery - General Radio Maintenance & Usage
Try to use the battery on a daily basis for at
least eight hours to avoid a short “memory.”
When finished, turn the radio off and charge.
The battery should last between 8-12 hours
(eight if a frequent transmitter, 12 if more of a
listener, or in between if a little of both).
67

Antenna - General Radio Maintenance & Usage
The antenna is color coded showing the
specific frequency band of your
portable radio, (e.g., 800 MHz). Do
not attempt to use an antenna from a
different radio with your radio. Even if
it seems like the threads match up,
you might severely damage the
radio’s antenna connector.
When changing an antenna, do not
use tools. The antenna should be
tightened firmly with only your
fingers.
70
Speaker Mic - General Radio Maintenance & Usage
If using a speaker mic, always put the connector
seal in a safe place. The connector seal will
need to be put back on the radio if the speaker
mic is removed.
Generally for portable radios, when keying the
radio using the push to talk button on a speaker
mic you must speak into the speaker mic. If you
use the push to talk button on the side of the
radio, you must speak into the mic on the front of
the radio.
