North Smithfield Fire - 800 Mhz

[shortwaver]

I'm currently listening to an active North Smithfield FD call, and onsite command just requested that they switch to 800Mhz for their comms for this call. I didn't know they were even using 800Mhz so I did a search and found this article below, that says a new 800Mhz system was recently authorized. It appears that it is now active. I assume that they have joined the RISCON system, yet NSFD does not show up as a user yet in that database.

North Smithfield FD New Engine and Approved 800Mhz

they may not be Full Time on RISCON but likely do use the Mutual Aid channels

TRY TG: 1968 for the future Fire channel

Thanks for the reply ECPS92. That database appears to be up-to-date. Now onto finding out how to add a new TG to my BCD436. I've been lazy with RR and never had to do it but it's always good to learn! Thanks again.

Let us know if you hear them on it, as it was "to be a future" no one has actually confirmed it

North Smithfield Fire Department was using this new TG at 18:10 this evening. I think they are using this TG to talk with portable units, as they were when on this last call.

I have submitted the changes to RR.

 

[ecps92]

Thanks, user input [submissions] are the only way to get the DBs updated

I have submitted the changes to RR.

NSFD TG's:
1968 Dispatch
1969 Fireground
1981 Admin

All are confirmed.

Thank you. How long does it usually take for the RR db to be updated?

 

[ecps92]

Unless a DB Admin is monitoring a forum, a LONG Time. What is required is a DB Submission as you you have already done

I do know the various New England Admins [outside of their normal working hours] do try and get them added rather quickly, but then you have to wait a week or so for the compilation to occur, if your radio is one that requires the Download of the Data

Thank you. How long does it usually take for the RR db to be updated?
