Waterbury

[WoodburyMan]

Is anyone aware of upcoming changes to Waterbury's P25 Phase 1 system? Maybe a upgrade to Phase II, new controllers, as well as linking with the states CLMRN system.

Currently it's sitting on a CC of 851.900 as it's been, with SCC/ACC of 851.1875, 852.1125 and 852.1750.
No noticable changes. Same as it's been for a while.

However, the State's CLMRN's Troop A and Troop I Simulcast systems show 1.097-1.1 (Waterbury) as a peer with a CC listing of 851.18750, one of its current ACC/SCC's. It has been so for over a week and a half now... maybe 2 weeks or so.

This makes me believe they have the State CLMRN A and I sites IP-Linked to perhaps a new Controller (Or backup controller) for Waterbury's sites that they have yet to go live with, and will be using one of the current ACC's for so their radios can make a seamless switch to the new controller. And I assume they will link in much like Middletown and Wallingford, where if a Waterbury unit roams out of range, CLMRN can pickup and relay back to the Waterbury system. (Makes sense since A covers I-84 along Waterbury, and I covers Route 8 South part of Waterbury).

I finally got a hold of a Waterbury police captain I used to work with, He said they are linking with the ISSI so they can use their current Motorola MCC7500 consoles on the Waterbury trunk system and get rid of the Johnson consoles. No other changes planned at this time.

Except Middletown is encrypted. Hope they don't do that for Waterbury.

waterbury has been linked to the consoles with an ISSI for a long time.
They are setting up to roam onto the state system when they go outside of the city

Don't know about Waterbury, but New Haven Fire 3 and 4 are being used as on-scene op channels for "code 5" (COVID-19 likely) medical calls.

As far as I know, medical has always been dispatched on FD channels as well. They show up first, and then AMR/Trinity/Campion/Hunters show up second. They usually list "[Service] is in route also" when dispatching.

As far as a administrative point of view, there may be more of them because of COVID or a change because of it. Perhaps theyre dispatching the FD medics before calling for transport or something now to ease up on transport services.

Also, sidenote, anyone notice the Frequency for Trinity Health is the same as AMR Waterbury operations? 461.225MHz DCS 662.

AMR and Trinity dispatch channels are cross patched on the console so that the fd can have direct communication with them during this health crisis

I should rephrase.....each channel is cross patched with a fire department talkgroup
