Did Anoka county go completely Automated Fire Dispatch? And did they go completely to the 800Mhz Side for dispatch because I no longer here them on the analog Frequency (154.2800)
Yes and Yes. There is a temporary patch between the USDD talkgroup & the Main County fire channel on 800 for a few weeks until the kinks get worked out & then the patch will be removed.
I have been away from scanning for awhile and was wondering the same thing. As I heard a robot voice on 2800 and heard talking on digital for county fire.
I was monitoring Anoka County last night with fire and LE talk groups active but missed several fire pages for some reason. Typically when fire/rescue is paged out I hear several beeps followed by it being dispached to an officer. Often times the fire page is so long that when the LE conversation is over I will hear the tail end of the fire page. For some reason last night I was not able to hear any pages. I could hear communicatiins between fire/2800 but not the initial call/details.
In looking at it further, it appears I only have talk group 906 as the dispatch/2800 chanel. Is 1144 the new or just digital dispatch? I just started reworking the layout for my system sites and groups as I have not updated it for years.
