I heard the fire trucks taking off. Heard the UHF or VHF fire call through the talk-group on the Middlesex County Talk-Group's South Plainfield, but nothing more from dispatch. I used to hear them all the time. Can someone cross-check this?

Has anyone checked this yet?
Heard them on their pager but nothing yet on the dispatch on the TRS.. TG 14-025
Post Hurricane Sandy, South Plainfield Fire Dept. has switched back to their former UHF frequency for operations I've observed due to problems with coverage issues on the County TRS. When paged out, you will hear the page on everything: VHF-Low, UHF, and 800 MHz (and I think the EMS VHF-Hi freq. sometimes). I would plug in 500.86250 DCD 565 freq. and monitor that on a regular basis. Their is also a Fire Ch. 2 in simplex mode, but I'm not sure what it is.
Thanks GM for the info
I havent been monitoring SPFD. Have they switched back to the county band or they still on their VHF/UHF convential bands?
The fire dept for South Plainfield is back on their county bands/talk-groups

The on again (Middlesex) off again (500.8625 Fire) back and forth switching MAYBE done for good.
As of Monday March 4th at 08:00 South Plainfield Fire will return to it's local repeater for both
dispatch and operations.
The stituation is very very complicated as to why it has been on and off again.
Let's just leave it as that there has never been a problem with the 500.8625 repeater system.

Think South plainfield all together will switch back to a repeater or old VHF ?? Like the pd
Is SPFD back on the talkgroup yet?
Talkgroup ID 14-026. Which is Fire Opps 2 was operating today. Not sure if it was the FD cause there was about 15 seconds total in chatter. Is worth monitoring as I am now.
First Dispatch 1 had a weird fire tone code call. Haven't heard that in awhile. Was wondering if the radio techs are testing out the talkgroup.
Which system do they use most often I also here them on there UHF Repeater ?
Thanks

Well that is just the thing they are on their older 500 MHz UHF frequency for both dispatch and fireground operations. Just recently have I heard chatter on ops2 channel and fire dispatch one had some weird fire tone code call.

Changes
For those that enjoy listening to the diversity of calls and professionalism of this Volunteer Fire Company keep an ear out for changes in the radio system in the future.
Perhaps you may want to program if not already, the 453.xxx and 460.xxx repeaters analog.
Perhaps you may want to program in P25 for the 500, 453, 460 repeaters.
johnls7424 hope you saw this
