Which pair is correctly matched?

• A. Channel 7 — South Central
• B. Channel 5 — North East
• C. Channel 6 — South Central
• D. Channel 8 — North West

Answer: (A)

Understanding which channel goes with which area is essential for clear, region-specific communication. In the department’s standard radio map, Channel 7 is designated for the South Central area. This means when dispatch or units reference Channel 7, you know the activity, units, and incidents pertain to South Central, and traffic on that channel should be monitored by those resources. This alignment helps prevent cross-area interference and speeds up coordination during incidents in that zone.

The other pairings don’t align with the established map, since each channel is assigned to a different area. So they wouldn’t reliably indicate South Central traffic.
