Stamford ? Darien FD files

[FrankM]

I was reading the info about Stamford changing their frequencies sometime later this year. I will be visiting the Stamford - Darien area in mid-June and was wondering if anyone has a current file for the Radio Shack Pro-96 for the Stamford - Darien area fire departments ? I am sure by the time I visit there next year I will have to ask this again for anything new. Thanks again !

Hi Frank,

Stamford is changing from a GE/EDACS multi-site (2 TX & 3 RX) system to a Motorola Digital simulcast system around May/June. When they do they will be using the same 10 800MHz frequencies for a while. Then, when they are up and running with the Motorola system they will have to apply for their new 700MHz channels which will take a while. My advice is to program your scanner with 1 bank set up for GE/EDACS on Stamford South site (6 channels) and 1 bank with Motorola and all 10 channels, and you should be covered.

Darien is still on 470 MHz. If you want any more info you can e-mail me.
