Pittsburgh City Updates?

I remember reading a while back that the city was going to be joining the counties P25 system that is being built… Anyone have any updates what the city is planning to do. Haven’t seen or heard anything in a while..

As of right now all Pittsburgh dispatch fire/ems/police are still analog only the ops channels swat channel aka all the cool channels are encrypted. eventually, it will happen. No one knows when everything will go to digital and police go fully encrypted it will happen for sure but some predict it might be a couple more years.

are they still planing to move to the counties system or use their own repeaters for P25 conv. The analog system sounds good IMO.

I believe it’s gonna be countywide P25 including city of Pittsburgh police ,fire,ems rumor has it all Police will go full encryption.we all know it will eventually happen, but nobody knows when for sure it will happen. Some rumors have it may take a 2 to 5 years some rumors say it will happen this year.

Allegheny County Emergency Services (ACES) already owns and (I believe) maintains all of the City Frequencies/Sites. And with some of the city services using the system already I can’t imagine all city agencies not switching once the system is built.

I thought I read or heard in one of there releases that the central zone PGH and Mt Oliver would be the first to get the “upgrade” with the outer zones to follow.
