New Digital System?

[paul]

Can anyone identify the continuous UHF digital buzz signals heard lately in the Mid - Hudson valley area? Today they're on 451.2625, 451.5625, 451.675, 451.8625, and 460.650 MHz. They sound like trunked data channels. Not showing up in scanner search as EDACS or Motorola.
I'm also hearing similar digital signals - not continuous - on 460.7625, 461.7125, 462.1625, and 462.4625 MHz.
These are all licensed to NYCOMCO. Could this be a new digital trunked system - possibly MOTOTRBO?

I'm not sure if this is related - City of Poughkeepsie DPW (which has been on NYCOMCO EDACS) is getting new radios. I'm hearing much less traffic from them on EDACS - mainly references to the new radios. Today I saw a city garbage truck - the antenna on the cab roof was a straight stick (about a foot long) - no 800 MHz. pigtail coil. Possibly NYCOMCO is moving them to a new system.
The Poughkeepsie City PD also got new radios recently, but they're still on EDACS.

Antenna

The antenna you see may be the new type of UHF 1/4 wave which has a base and black cover spring and then the whip. That seems to be the new thing . Hope this helps . Have a good day

I've heard that since NYCOMCO linked the towers for Orange County that they wanted to get pretty much every one else off EDACS and just have EDACS for public safety. A while ago at work I saw something from NYCOMCO about NextEdge by Kenwood with a small little blurp about MotoTurbo. Not that long ago I saw a Transcare rig with a Turbo radio in it, and I know Transcare at some point was on NYCOMCO's LTR sytem and then I heard that supposedly they went to Goosetown. NYCOMCO does have a Turbo system up on Walker Mountain that I know of.

TC Radio

Transcare did change over to Goosetown and I believe there on there LTR Passport system . Same system that Mobile Life is using and some of the same towers.. Have a good day.

Regional EMS in Orange County / Hudson Valley Paramedics in Dutchess, Westchester Counties are also on the Goosetown LTR Passport system. Same company, just different divisions.
