Probably a radio that was reprogrammed The xts3500 radios are all wideband Even EMS TAC2 is wideband , that way they didn't need to reprogram the fire radios when ems went narrow.

Only MDC is on dispatch and that's all narrowband.

Ok. Maybe your problem there. FDNY does not use MDC on the portable radios. It's a 7 digit ID using Motorola tps system. If you look on a scanner like the pro96 you see DG when the I'd goes then FM for voice.

That doesn't sound right. We had tested narrow band at the rock but then when Tband was exempt stopped. There is a waiver for the channels that are not Tband

Don't care how good a trunked system is. There are too many variables and when dealing with an IDLH , simlex is the best. You can still have the world listing just do it with a mobile repeater or something. There is also no issue with radio id's, we use Motorola TPS system and it works fine...

I have never heard units on UHF transit

These Departments are not doing so in the best interest of the members in an IDLH. It has been studied over and over and proven %100 that this is NOT SAFE!!! Fireground communications in an IDLH should be on a simplex analog channel. Please NO DIGITAL Departments that want to listen from a...

Now if you could have asked for mamaroneck village police 10-codes. Instead of southern Westchester then mamaroneck and finally police.

Early 2003 sounds about right. I was still working in lower Manhattan. I know it wasn't encryption I was hearing , because then I would never been able to hear zone 1 over cw4.

If i remember correctly they has p25 on citywide 4 in the past. I am pretty sure if was Back early 2000's they had zone 1 going over cw4 in digital.

Ok ok. Yellow radio in FDNY is the fast truck radio. Its a xts3500 model 3 display radio. Used by the fast truck to see Id of person talking. There are no apx radios in the field yet. Testing at the rock. As far as IS radios its a green dot on the bottom of the radio and the battery also has...

Dont forget you can use gps on the 996.

Look up fio that's the federal interop. NYC does a roll call on Wednesday at 10am. Lots of interesting agencies on the system.

The codes to talk and listen are not the same. This is done so someone can't just by a radio and start talking. What channels are you trying.

FDNY Fire uses the XTS3500R for UHF Fireground XTS5000 for trunking. FDNY EMS uses the XTS5000 for everything.

"Interoperability is an attitude" I can't agree enough... NYC for example hasn't done much to improve on things since 9/11 in this area. Yes they have new tools in the toolbox but they are still far from there. For example a EMT's radio for FDNY EMS can talk on all EMS dispatch channels but...

Tony, If you guys are using Digital on fireground, I can't stress enough to stop and switch back to good old analog. Narrowband is fine won't change things much. There is more then enough data out there to show this is a bad idea, NFPA, FEMA and many large departments have all spoken out...

The old UHF stuff is on t-Band if they were to loose the license they wouldn't be able to get them back, as the FCC won't issue any more T-band stuff. So that might be a way to keep a hold on them. Wonder if there is any way they could move them to the trunk system and add more channels in the...
