Those are the original Stamford system IDs, I am guessing that they either slipped through the cracks when the system was integrated and the IDs were unused so it didn't hurt anything. But a more plausible explanation may be that they were just intentionally overlooked if the equipment was EOL...

Should only be the PD, but others will have the capability too.

All services will be joining shortly. Tower sites are being updated to the CLMRN system. PD has been full-time encrypted for years and will continue to be.

Norwalk is using Futurecom repeaters for getting fireground audio back to dispatch and wide area coverage similar to Westport, Stamford, Bridgeport.

St Marys uses one as an ER amplifier to the med channel for portables. Many ERs have gone away from the base station radio and migrated to portables. The MED channels were not designed for in-building coverage let alone the bunker of a hospital. My assumption is that this is a similar setup to...

A lot of it is dependent on the signal quality as well as site preference in programming. Certain signal strength thresholds can trigger checking peer sites for better signals. Additionally, preference can be programmed for specific sites. In the example you are talking about, the Bridgeport...

It was on the air, the call was recalled by the first in unit pretty quickly and there were only a couple of transmissions. Sounds like FMO extinguished it.

Site roaming is determined during the planning phase with the state and is generally based on loading and impact on network capacity.

Dynamic fallback i.e. an FDMA radio affiliates on a TDMA talkgroup and that talkgroup reverts to FDMA, requires additional licensing and permission settings. Talkgroups are assigned as TDMA or FDMA in the provisioning manager in this case.

Generally premisses locations can be programmed for not validated or geocoded locations, such as programming span addresses or assigning a name to a GPS point. It's all a matter of how important it is and the resources to build out. Highway data is typically geocoded as a mid point between...

Absolutely.

For the sites I will generally draw a radius that extends a little beyond the approximate troop district footprints, the simulcast sites roughly match the troop territories, any IR sites are small fill sites and I will generally use a 5-mile radius. Regarding the talkgoup list I figured out a...

I use circles for the sites and a rectangle that covers the state for the talkgroups due to talkgroup roaming, especially on statewide talkgroups. It works well.

Very nice, one of the best.

The UHF and two former conventional PD 800 channels have been upgraded to new GTR repeaters. They are not going away but are being migrated to all hazards interop channels and backup to the CLMRN system in the event of a failsoft event. This will be a change from agency-specific channels. The...

Fairfield is running it on low power not over their dispatch channel yet on a UHF analog channel. They should be cutting it over in the near future. Westport is running it on a UHF conventional p25 simulcast of the trunked dispatch TG.

In UHF, Fairfield is running it in test mode and Westport has a UHF simulcast of the trunked system. Where are you hearing it as that will help narrow it down?

Westport, New Canaan, soon to be Fairfield.

Motorola APX line supports the "Headset HSP" Bluetooth format for non-proprietary accessories. Many Bluetooth headsets use the "hands-free protocol HFP" which will probably not work. You do need to make sure that the CPS is set to LFP MPP and Standard and that a menu key is set to access the BT...

It is a Prospect Police unit. IC stands for Troop I constable.
