Additional BAPERN Radio Programming Guidelines
If more than three zones are available in your radios, GBPC recommends
programming an additional zone with the State Tactical Interoperable
Communications Plan.
GBPC Member Agencies (M.A.) are reminded of the following section of the BAPERN Policy and Procedure
document:
Radio Programming Guidelines, Page 4:
To provide for standardization of all radios connected to the BAPERN system, all M.A. shall
have their cruiser and portable radios and their dispatch consoles programmed as indicated
in the previous section, BAPERN Radio Channel Plan.
!
Any additional channels available for programming are to be used at the discretion of
the individual M.A..
For Police Officer safety, mobile and portable radios shall be programmed to revert to the
department’s primary channel, BAPERN Channel 1, when the emergency button is pressed.
In an effort to prevent the BAPERN radio channels from being “hung up,” all M.A. must
assess their portable and mobile radios to determine if that have a “time-out capability.” If so,
this “time-out” is to be set for no longer than ninety seconds.
Push-To-Talk ID transmission shall be programmed to occur at some point during the
transmission. For direct/simplex operation, this function should be disabled, if possible, in order to
reduce annoyance.
We strongly recommend that portables and mobiles are programmed to scan Area Wide 3 and your
District Channel. Radios can be programmed with the option for nuisance delete if there is too much
traffic.
ID Numbers. The Greater Boston Police Council maintains a listing of ID numbers used by local police
agencies. Please contact the GBPC if you are in need of an ID number assignment, and provide the number of
portable and mobile radios in use.
Questions? Please contact Diana Chidsey, GBPC Director of Planning and Operations at:
[email protected] or 978-360-4481.
