CITY MGR-~
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Authorize the Consultant to proceed with the allocation of a
new radio frequency for the Police Department.
2. Approve and adopt Resolution No. 7Q /,C:, , authorizing the
purchase of communications equipment with an intra-departmental
transfer of funds from the Police Department fiscal 82/83 budget.
ITEM EXPLANATION
During 1982 Staff was directed by Council to evaluate radio
communications problems in the Police Department. With the approval
of the City Manager, the Police Chief engaged a professional
communications consulting firm to prepare an indepth study of the
Police Department radio system. The firm, "The Richter Group" was
selected to conduct the study at a cost of $3,327., which was
funded from existing Police Department operating funds. The
dei;a.iled recommendations are set forth in the attached report and
memorandum.
'l'he City l:ianager and Police Chief have reviewed the report and
recommend the City· approve expenditure of monies from the Police
Department budget in order to implement the recommendations.
The recommendations propose the allocation of a new police ~'Sl.dio
frequency; the change of the present "Simplex" system to a mobile-
relay operation, utilizing the present frequency as a back-up
tactical frequency, and the purchase of the following communications
equipment to accomplish the changes:
(1) Mobile relay $6,500
Installation, antenna and cable
(2) Satellite receivers $1,800
Installation, antenna and cable
(2) Voter -Comparators $5,200
(2) T/R modules for console $2,800
Convert mobile and HT radios $7,000
(2) Call Director console panels $3,600
(10) Dispatch headsets $2,000
(1) Computor printer sound cover $ 400
(1) Battery pack for radio logging $ 250
recorder
(2) Call Counters for each Call Director $ '150
$30,000
AGENDA BILL -Police
Page 2
The recommended changes would be a one-1:ime changeover that will
alleviate present system deficiencies and will at the same time
fulfill operational requirements of the proposed system in the
planned Public Safety Center.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed recommendations would require the expenditure of
approximately $30,000 to purchase the nP. assary communications
equipment to accomplish the radio system changeover and improve-
ments.
After thorough review of its present operating budget, Police
Department Staff are recommending an intra-departmental transfer
of funds to accomplish the recommendations. The fund transfer is
possible due to salary savings and unanticipated savings in several
maintenance and operations accounts.
The Finance Director has reviewed the proposed fund transfer and
concurs with the expenditure.
ALTERNATIVES
Without approval the Police Department would attempt to implE.iment
the recommen1ations through the FY 83/84 budget, if conditions
permit.
If recommendations a:re not implemented at this time, they wlll be
requested for development in the proposed Public Safety Center.

1. IN'fROCUCTION
This report to the City of Carlsbad describes an
engineering consulting stuay concerning two radio problems being
experience by the Carlsbad Police Department (CPD). Alternative
solutions to these problems are suggested and a recommendation
is made.
The tw o pr o b 1 em s a r e : C l ) s e r i o u s a n a , a t t i me s ,
destructive radio interference on the CPD primary dispatch
channel from the City of South Pasadena; and (2) dead spots and
areas of poo~ coverage within the city of Carlsbad, particularly
involving handheld radios. Although these two problems are
separate ana distinct, there is some commonality in the possible
solutions; the study has therefore taken this into account in
the basic investigation as well as i:1 the alternatives
c1evelopment.
The fellowing sections ot chis report describe the funda-
mentals of the problems which created the need for the study;
explain the study activities used to understand the cau~es for
the problems; explore solutions; present conceptual solutions,
with accompanying descriptions ano pricing estimates; and,
finally, provide the city with a recommendation.
The Richter Group has appreciated the opportunity to work
with the city staff ana to begin to develop a relationship. The
city staff is to be complimentecl on its willing and businesslike
approach to understanding and seeking solutions for the
cc~~unications problem. The staff has been most helpful in
assisting with field measurements and coverage surveys, and this
cooperation is gratefully acknowledged.
F.-G 252/1 1
2. srATEM.....'C'NT OF TaE PROBLEM
The CPD has had two long-term, serious problems ,,ssociated
with its radio system.
these problems, but,
Several attempts have been made to solve
to aate, real relief has not been
experienced. This consulting study was commissionea to
determine the true nature of these problems and the reasons for
them, and to present solutions ana a recorrmendation to the city.
The first problera has been one of serious interference occuring
on the CPD's primary dispatch frequency, a.,a the second problem
involves inadequate radio coverage throughout the cit~{.
2.1 INTERFERENCE
The dispatch frequency 058.835 HHz} is a channel that has
actually been allocated to the local-government service, and is
not a police frequency, per se. Police frequencies receive a
great deal more ~rotection than do those in local-government
service.
'!'here are several other local-901.1ernment users on this
fr€<.tuency (used by CPD for aispatching). One of the co-channel
entities is the City cf South Pasadena local-government (Public
Works} operation. Although one would think that South __ Pasadena
is sufficently far from Carlsbad so as to have significant isola-
ticm between radio syst:ems, this is not the case and quite
strong signals reach the CPD base station, occasionally strong
enough to block out CPD mobiles and handheld radios. At the
minimum, slgnificant nuisance interference is heard"by the
dispatchers. In its extreme, as was j~st mentioned, the trans-
missions from CPD police cars are actually overridden ana
communication blocked.
RG 252/2 2

R?,D!O COVERAGE
The city is.rather long, extending north to south, and is
broken up with ridges and rolling hills; apparently, no one
radio site will provide total coverage of the city. The problem
is especially severe for handheld radios {which have small, inef-
fective an_tennas and low power) operating from the northern and
southern extremes of the city where terrain and geographical
blockages occur. The CPD base station is located at Ellery
Reservoir, which provides good coverage of the downtown area and
the east-west portions of the city. There were claims that
officers are actually out of contact with their dispatcher in
certain portions of the city. This ~nd the interference problem
r.,entioned above have been the subject of considerable discussion
and compiaints by field officers.
RG 252/2 3
the problem, all that remained was to develop a solution.
3.2 COVERAGE
The seconc problem, the purported radio coverage deficien-
throughout the city, requirea more investigation. The
first step was to have Richter Group staff spend time riding in
the Jehicles during routine patrol operations. This provided
3oi:,e familiarity with the city, with its radio system, and with
CPD op~rations. The second step was to ask the patrol force to
d~cument coverage deficiencies, as they occurred. Forms and
city Raps were distributed for this purpose, and a number of
an~~ers were received. The deficient areas did not offer a
significant surprise; the worst occurred in the La Costa area
(south extreme of the city) when handheld radios were used.
There also was an occasional complaint about mobile-radio
coverage in this area. A city map was then marked with the
boundaries of the deficient area, and plans were developed for
conduc-ting a survey of actual field strength and coverage.
The coverage survey·was made on March 8, 1983. 'l'he tech-
nigue was to calibrate and use actual CPD radio eguipmer,t. The
RG 252/3

·•~ci~er ana base station at Ellery Reservoir were calibrated
.. r J .::. ~cter was temporarily installed to measure incoming signal
~tc~~sth through the actual antenna, transmission line, and
=~ceive: used for CPD dispatch. A mobile radio and patrol car
~ ~=~ aimilarly calibrated (a temporary meter-installation, cali-
!'r~ti:d in terms of signal strength) and used as the field
~~asurement tools. During the field test, a person sat at
~ll~ry Reservoir taking readings at each one of the check
FOintz; the operator of the patrol car similarly recorded all
reacings.
rr. addition to the tests made on the CPD dispatch
i ~1:.,;.uency, tests were made on the Carlsbad Pire Department ( CFD)
disp,1tch f reguency at the same time and in the same vehicle. It
w.:is felt that one possible problem for coverage deficiency was
the location of the CPD base station (Ellery Reservoir).
Discussions had established the fact that the CFD system
~fpdrently had had fewer coverage deficiencies {primarily a
,.,oh.!..le system, with minimal handheld use); the CPD base station
w~3 located at Squires Darn. Since the CFD radio system operated
in the same general frequency region as the CPD system, it was
decided to obtain coverage measurements from the Squires Dam
site, as well as f row the Ellery Reservoir, and so the CFD radio·
sy~tem was used to accomplish this.
1'he receiver in the CFD base station equipment at Sgui res
Dam had a temporary strength meter installed and was calibrated
with the RG frequency standard. A CFD mobile radio was borrowed
from the CPD and temporarily installed in the patrol car, using
a magn€tic-mount antenna on the roof cf the vehicle. •rhis
receiver also had a temporary signal-sirength meter installed
anj was calibrated with the RG frequency standard for the
measurement process.

'rhe operator of the patrol car drove a course that covered
all areas of deficiency. A number of stops were mace and
signal-strength readings were obtained by means of the two
meters in the patrol car, the meter at Squires Dam, and the
meter at Ellery Reservoir. This data was recorded on field
survey forms and was subjected to engineering analysis. The
results are shown in the following two figures. Figure 3-1
depicts the coverage measured on the CPD frequency, using Ellery
Reservoir as the transmit site. Figure 3-2 represents the
coverage measured on the CFD frequency using the Squires Darn
site. It will be noted that areas of poor coverage were
confirmed and, also, that neither Squires Dam nor Ellery
Reservoir alone provides citywide coverage. It was also noted
that the talk-in leg of the communications was the one
exhibifing significant deficiencies; and that the talk-out
problem (base to mobile to handheld) was less severe. This
condition is common.

15.. ALTF..RNATIVES AND SOLUTIONS
4 • l INTERFERENCE
The only practical solution is to change to a frequency
that does not experience severe interference. There are some
technical steps that could be taken in Soutr. Pasadena to reduce
the fu"ount of radio power that is directed toward Carlsbad, but
the city of South Pasadena was not particularly anxious to
revamp their system. Even if South Pasadena would be willing to
install a new antenna with a directional null toward Carlsbad,
there is no good assurance that interference would not come from
some other source since the frequency is a local-governmen~
fre~uency and is not subject to the same protection standards
employed for police frequencies.
The obvious, clean solution is to find a new frequency
(much easier to say than to do) for CPD dispatch. A listing of
forty frequencies was preparea for consideration. The Southern
California Frequency Coordination listing is maintained on the
Richter Group computer. There is no unused police frequency in
California; the process of selection, therefore, involves
ex~~ining all candidate frequencies for interference potential,
ranking these, and then examining them in a~tail. It is usually
necensary to perform actual field tests to convince a potential
co-channel user that the new system can be operated without
oestructive or serious nuisance interference. This step is
necessary in Carlsbad.
Since the only viable solution is a new frequency, a
further recommendation is made to the city t~?t t~o frEquencies
be obtained so that the CPD dispatch system can operate in the
mobile-relay (repeater) mode. A mobile-relay system pro•,ides
the capability of talking between units anywhere in thi: city.
With the present single frequency ( simplex) system, communica-

;

tions between units take place only as far as their radios can
transmit directly; this is a fairly short distance for handheld
units, with their weak power and inefficient antennas. A
mobile-relay system usually operates on a hilltop and involves a
repeater arrangement; a signal is received from the handhelos
(usually quite effectively at an elevated site) and is then
rebroadcast by the higher-powered transmitter from this same
site. This provides a very effective coverage of the area. A
mob~le~relay ~ystem is pref~rable to simplex for police use
because any unit within the coverage area can talk with any
other unit~ everyone hears everyone else and there is much
better knowledge of what is happening on a moment-by-moment
basis. The present arrangement means that an officer with a
mobile radio in Le1 Costa, unable to hear an off ;.cer at the mall
calling dispatch over a handheld radio, might transmit at the
sa.'Tle time, effectively destroying the {perhaps crucial) roessnge
that the officer at the mall is trying to transmit. With a
mobile-relay system, everyone can hear the handhela, eliminating
this type of contention. The cost difference between a
mobile-relay system and a simplex system is not significant,
except for the increased difficulty of obtaining two frequencies
that are spaced properly for mobile-relay operation. More
details _about how this might be implemented are contained in the ·
r.ecormnendations section.
4.2 COVERAGE
A whole spectrum of possibilities exists for the solution
to the coverage-deficiency problems. First, it appears most
likely tnat no single site location will provide effective
coverage for the entire city. Multiple receivers Cana perhaps
transmitt.ers) will be required for any solution.
RG 252/4
-----------------~
------------
The customary solution to the talk-in problem is to locate
one or more satellite receivers in poor-coverage areas and bring
th~ir signal< s) back in over leased telephone line ( s). To use a
satellite receiver effectively requires an additional piece of
equipment, a comparator-voter.
Having two loudspeakers, each connected to a different
receiver Cone with a good signal, one with a poor signal) would
be confusing for the operator; instead, the voter system
provides a set of electronics that electrically compares the
quality of the two signals provided by the two satellite
receivers, selects ("votes") the better one, and then connects
it to the dispatct console. In the case of a mobile-relay
system, the voter also connects the better signal to the
mobile-relay transmitter as well as to the console.
The measurements show the talk-fo problems would be solved
with a base station located at Ellery Reservoir and a single
satellite receiver located in the La Costa area. (The interior
of the mall will pose a problem for just about any solution that
is proposed; this subject is discussed later.) This satellite
receiver is not a total solution to the La Costa coverage
problem since difficulties exist for hnndheld radios used inside
b~ildings in that area; the base station is not always heard,
and so a talk-out problem exists.
The first alternative was recommended by the city• s service
agency, and that is to add another base station in the La Costa
area which could be selected by the dispatcher when a unit is
known to be there that is having difficulty with reception.
AcJding a single satellite-receiver voting system is not u large
expPnse; adding an additional base station begins to make the
e~pense significant and complicates the control at the console,
and still would not produce total citywide communications.
RG 252/ 4 11
I I r
.I
I
..... '
The second alternative would be to locate mobile-relay
equipment at Squires Dam. This site has better talk-out
characteristics than does Ellery Reservoir; in particular, it
talks into the La Costa area sat:sfactorily. Squires Dam is not
a per.feet site and has talk-in cover.age deficiencies from the
Park-Kelly portion of the city, and so a satel~ite-receiver
voting system would be required to make Squires an acceptable
site.
The thiro alternative would be to perform a more complete
engineering study of the city. Temporary base stations would be
set up on other hilltops an~ coverage effectiveness over the
cit~• would be measured. Such an effort was not costed into this
study because examination of a topological map of Carlsbad
clearly showed that the city's many rolling hills and valleys
created a teirain coverage problem; the likelihood of finding a
single good coverage site was determined to be vanishingly
small.
The fourth option would be to install mobile-radio
extenders in all of the Patrol cars. These allow a handheld
radio to transmit to the ~ar, the car then repeats the signal
(using its own higher-power transmitter) to the base stat.ion.
Some departments use these but find them to be quite inflexible
(an officer must have a car there with extender capability), the
cost ic rather high, and a great deal of operational flexibility
is lost.
The fifth alternative woula be to ao nothing; in the long
run, this could turn out to be the most expensive alternative of
all shoul-=I some officer or citizen be injured or killed because
of a communications lack.
RO 252/ •I 12
5. RECOMMENDATIONS
After consideration of the alternatives that could
provide solutions to the CPD's raoio problems, a set of
recommenuations were developed. These are presented in the
paragraphs that follow, and are made with the knowledge
that the city will be developing a new Emergency Services
Center (ESC). This center will have upgraded dispatch
equipment and will need an upgraded radio system; these
recommendations should therefore be considered as a first
step toward dev~lopment of the new center. On~ of the
recommendations is that a new police frequency and base
station be obtained, to be located at Squires Reservoir.
The Squires Reservoir site would be particularly
advantageous because of its ~roximity to the new ESC. If
the city decides to adopt the following recommendations and
obtain new equipment, the specifications will be such that
the equipment will be compatible with the latest,
state-of-the-art console equipment with which the new
center should be furnished. If the city expends funas to
carry out the recommendations, this will be in line with
the development of the new ESC, the money will have been
well spentr and the city will have taken the first step
toward that new capability.
5~1 INTRODUCTION
A. OBTAIN.A NEW FREQUENCY PAIR
On the radio inte:rference problem, the recommendation
is to obtain one (really a pair) new frequency and then
move CPD dispatch operations to mobile-relay operations on
the new, clear frequency pair. Since the solution for this
und for the coverage problem interrelate, only one set of
cost projections will oe made, and this solution will be
RG 252/5 13
/1../-
" ~~ . • ·l .. ·'..{ .
1
folded into the different alternatives proposed for the
coverage problem. The only additional cost to that
required to solve the coverage problem would be to change
the crystal frequency elements in the mobile and handheld
radios. Present costs run about $200 per channel, and
there are presently about 35 mobile and portable; the
budgetary estimate is $7,000.
B. RETAIN A BACKUP SYSTEM
Coupled with the recommendaiion to seek a new
frequency is the suggestion of retaining the present CPD
dispatch frequency and base station. The CPD is growing to
the size where it could well use a second (tactical) police
frequency to keep the dispatch frequency clear for its fun-
damental purpose. Although the present frequency suffers
from interference, this interference would not be so
destructive to tactical operations, which are generally
close in, unit-to-unit in nature. The present base station
could be left as is, and the present dispatch channel in
the mobile and portable radios left as is; this could then
be used as a second frequency. If the following recommenda-
tion to place the new equipment at Squires Darn is adopted,
the present base station at Ellery Reservoir could provide
an important degree of geographical redundancy for the
city; if something were to happen to the Squires Dam site
{e.g., airplane accident, telephone-line failure), the
' Ellery Reservoir installation would serve as a backup.
5 • 2 COVERAGE
A. OBTAIN A MOBILE-RELAY ANO SATELLITE RECEIVER
A recommendation on the coverage problem is to obtain
a mobile-relay station and a satellite receiver, locating
the mobile relay at Squires Dam and the satelli_te receiver
RG 252/5 14
. '
i
(perhaps at Ellery Resecvoir) to co•1er the Park-Kelly por-
tion of the city. Cost estimates for Alternatives A and B
are listed below. The A alternative is more expensive
because a second base station would be required to provide
full coverage in La Costa.
B. IMPROVE MALL COMMUNICATIONS
It must be pointed out that a second base station such
as this would somewhat negate the advantage of mobile-relay
operation, since coverage from the station in La Costa
would be limited and since it would still be possible for a
mobile unit to transmit from the other end of the city
without realizing that a small handheld radio is using the
s:hannel.
Coverage from the very interior portions of the mall
will continue to be a problem (as it is in almost every
mall in the state) • Wi~hout installing equipment directly
in the mall, it is very difficult to get signals \nside and
outside of these monstrous and well shielded structures. A
possible solution might be adapted to Carlsbad, which would
be to use a pair of small, parasitic antennas to get tre
signals into and out of the mall without the use of any
electronics. such has yet to be attempted, but the City of
·•est Covina is funding the Richter Group to attempt an
experiment on their mall to establish whether this solution
would be satisfactory. If satisfactory, the cost would be
that of a pair of antennas, a short run of connecting cable
and installation.
5.3 ADDITIONAL ACTION REQUIRED
Additional action is required to complete the frequency
coordination and application process. Candidate frequencies
have been id~ntified for a mobile relay. The application-and-
RG 252/5 15 f (,.
/
r.oordination process has been initiated. The two frequencies
selected are both used by the Torrance Police Department for a
mobile-relay system: Torrance will undoubtedly want tests to
confirm the suitability of Carlsbad as a co-channel companion
and arrangements will be made for these in the near future to
estabUSh the usability of tbis frequency. After that, if the
city so desires, application for the new frequencies will be
made to the Federal Communications Commission. Purchase
specifications for ~is mobile-relay station, satellite
receiver, and comparator-voter will be p~epared.

COMMUNICATIONS RECOMMENDATIONS
Dr. Richter's consulting study was received on April 4, 1983. After
review and consieration, I believe his recommendations to be a sound
alternative to the present communications problems. Subsequently,
I would recommend that:
1. The recommendations be approved by the City Council, and that we
request allocation of funds from savings in the present police
budget.
2. Dr. Richter be given approval by the City Council to proceed with
his efforts to obtain a sui.table frequency for the changeover.
It appears that these recommendations will fulfill operational
requirements of the proposed Public Safety Center, as well as the
current Communications Program. It also appears that the recommend-
ations would be a final solution to our past problems.
In addition to Dr. Richter's recommendations, I have included some
changes that were not part of Dr. Richter's study, but that he none
the less endorses. The additional recommendations are for the
purposes of improving our operational effectiveness. I would there-
fore recommend the following:
1. Purchase panel mounts for existin~ Call Directors@ $1800 x 2 =
$3600. (These would enhance the 11 911 11 System and will improve
the dispatchers' ability to manage telephone and radio traffic.)
These would be transferred to the new facility.
2. Purchase dispatch head sets for all dispatchers, and require their
use, @ $200 x 10 = $2000. (This coincides with the installation
of the Call Directors and will improve dispatcher efficiency.)
3. Purchase of a sound cover for existing C.L.E.T.S. printer. This
printer causes interference of both operators and radio dispatch.
Cost: $400.
