They went digital in 2015 on this system:
Niagara County Public Safety System Trunking System, Niagara County, New York
I don't know which app for the audio, sorry.
Niagara Falls PD and FD are not digital. They operate on a conventional analog repeater. Niagara County implemented a patch onto their P25 TRS last year, presumably improving interoperability within the county. Niagara Falls is one of the county's last "hold outs" of analog and conventional in emergency services in the county.
While I anticipate them to transition "soon", I just don't know when "soon" is. Niagara Falls Fire has been sporting APX's for a year or so now, and Niagara Falls PD I have recently noticed some to be using XTS1500's (possibly "leftovers" from when many of the Niagara County agencies upgraded to APX's), and possibly some APX4k's. However, (per one local news Facebook photos), I have recently seen officers is still running an old, analog only, Kenwood radio, further supporting my suspicions.
Just to make sure I didn't miss something, I fired up DSD+ real quick while typing this, NFPD is still being simulcasted onto Niagara County TG 232. Monitoring them on their analog channel; it is still very active as of tonight.
how do i find out when the police and fire departments are switching to digital.
also i was with a news reporter and he receievc an email with archive audio police and scanner files within seconds of the call being dispatched
does anyone know what this would be called?
Was it a police or fire call? If it was fire related, its possible that they were using the TwoToneDetect function on IAmResponding.
Police related, maybe they were monitoring or retrieving the history on the
Niagara County Fire Wire YouTube page? The YouTube live feed has only a few second delay.
