As of this morning at 10:30AM, Guilderland dispatch has started to use new radio IDs. Previously, the radio IDs used by the dispatchers for Guilderland PD, Fire, and EMS was 13088801, 13080004, 13080005, yada yada you get the point. As of 10:30AM today, the radio IDs used by the dispatchers are 480, 482, and more 48x numbers that I haven't logged yet.
Does anyone know why they've changed radio ID numbers? Change in system?
Things I have noticed:
1. The Albany County Sheriff Dispatch Center uses 452, 453, 454, 455, yada yada you get the point, and now Guilderland is using 480 numbers. Does this have any correlation between the 2 agencies?
2. They have started doing patch calls which is new! They just did a call that was patched to 2 talkgroups.
3. The dispatchers sound worse, they keep asking the units for radio checks and they say they're fixing it but they still sound bad. I'll upload some calls from before and after the change.
4. Tones for calls sound a little different, I'll attach 2 audio recordings of tones before and after.
