Just listening to 460.0250 POLICE INFORMATION AND WARRANT CHECKS CH5 (151.4) and they are doing test on this frequencies, the audio tests are P25 Digital. Any one know if Buffalo NY is going to P25 Digital on there frequencies.

Yes they are in the process of moving to P25 for PD. I believe they have all the equipment in place.
Here is what i hear on digital p-25
erie county emergency servies unit [esu] is on , freq. 424.150 [analog] ,also heard them on digital p-25 , freq. 424.150 , nac e17 . This is channel 4.
Also heard a state police car calling sheriffs dept dispatch,[they have erie county sheriffs radios installed] . This was on digital ,p-25 , freq. 460.4500 ,it did come in clear , sheriffs dispatch did not answer him. I believe state police was on wrong channel, so they the sheriffs do have p-25 digital installed ,but not active yet. That was the only time i heard any transmissions on sheriffs ,p-25.
Just heard some test counts on BFD dispatch channel 424.225 Fire dispatch is on channel 2 today which is a fire ground channel. Hear the dispatcher remind a unit calling in to make they say on channel 2 today for calls because channel 1 is being reprogrammed. Come to think about it now, it seems like the police channels seem to have more volume output now. I run another bank at night along with the buffalo band and I keep having to turndown the volume because they are blasting in. Wonder if they have a higher watt system now???
Buffalo Police ch-4 460.475 MHz is running P25, it sounds nice and clear and strong signal.

On 3/22/2014 , time 12:20 am , buffalo pd had a foot chase , they had a problem with the new switch over to p-25 digital. The portables cound not interop @ close range. The lieutenant in charge was not happy and ordered that all communications stop on digital and move to channel 5 [analog]. I listened to the 460.4750 digital rest of night , nothing , , very interesting, !
The Buffalo Police are back on CH-5 460-025 MHZ running digital P25, they must of made some changes, they sound good again.

The Buffalo Police are using P25 on 460.475 ch-4 now.
