Cy-Fair VFD will switch to a Motorola system, according to information found in past minutes of the Harris County Emergency Services District. Other than comments about new towers and general remarks, few details have been distribute via the minutes.
I listen to their dispatch & tactical channels using the channel info found on the RadioReference site.
Cy-Fair VFD radio comms are clear, concise & very professional in my opinion. Because they are the EMS provide to several hundred thousand people, there are a LOT of EMS responses.
As they get closer to the transition time, I'm sure frequency & programming info will appear. I'm not going to buy a new scanner just yet, but I would not be surprised if the CFVFD went to a comm system comparable to what the Houston FD uses. Encryption is a hurdle that we won't be able to overcome, if they go that route.
As a retired fire chief, I am an advocate for letting the public listen to fire department comms. Public support of FD operations is enhanced when citizens hear fire radio comms and are able to follow incident progression from dispatch to completion.
Please excuse any typos. I'm using my phone and can't scroll back to proof my message. I will use my desktop in the future.
Best wishes listening to the CFVFD. I'm sure you will find their comms to be very good.
