A sad day in Pittsburgh...

[redbeard]

Guys, I have to admit I was clueless to the fact that PAT did actually change their name. Unfortunately that does mean the DB will change too. From their website:

In June 2022, Port Authority was rebranded to Pittsburgh Regional Transit.

So yes, if a business changes it's name it only makes sense that we change as well for clarity. Don't most people call it 'The T' anyway?

Can anyone confirm they have switched to P25 full time for PRT Police Dispatch?

As far as I know they are not I will try to listen to PAT police when I get home and see

radios have both analog and p25. Not sure why though.

I do believe the idea is to go P25 at some point but they have had the option for a couple of years and they havent moved over so I'm thinking maybe one day.who really knows tho

St Louis Blues fans know that pain....
Kiel Center (1994–2000)
Savvis Center (2000–2006)
Scottrade Center (2006–2018)
Enterprise Center (2018–Present)

It'll always be the Kiel Center to me.

Not a Steeler fan but as a Panther fan I wish the Rooneys would take that new naming rights money and invest in field turf. I hate grass fields anyway but it’s not even October yet and the amount of paint coverups and grass patches are an embarrassment. So are the dumb slanted lines in the end zone.

The PAT/PRT Police are still on analog

That's nothing, here in Boston the TD Garden is already on it's 33rd name since 1995-

"In early 2005, while still searching for a long-term corporate sponsor, the FleetCenter conducted auctions on eBay to sell one-day naming rights. From February 10 to March 13, the FleetCenter sold the naming rights 30 different times. Including its present name, the TD Garden has had 33 different names."

Amen!

By popular demand Lucas Oil brought back the IRP moniker now calling it Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.
Always IRP to real race fans.

 

[W8HDU]

Only the real People from Pittsburgh will call it Heinz field.

Same applies to to Cleveland's MLB team. Or as one of the local radio sports guys call them, "The Guard Indians".

Well you guys won when it counted in 2019! 😐

Can confirm as of Sunday may 13th @redbeard and @n3obl pat pd is ALL analog. Just curious. Did they ever transmit in P25 yet? They had a few bus incidents today including a foot pursuit of juveniles and it stayed analog. Just curious why pat pd has P25 listed if I've never heard them use it.

A year or so ago. I heard a couple PAT police chatting on P25 saying this is what it will sound like. Never really heard them again.

 

[n3obl]

Its a secondary channel and it is in their radios. I dont know what their plans are for usage.

 

[IStebleton]

As far as PAT using P25, 2 times in the last month I've caught someone doing a "Test 1, 2, 3" on the digital channel. I haven't heard anything else.
