EMS CW2 has been dead all morning. I got a text that they may have all moved over to AMR dispatch out of Javitts.
Is AMR on a DMR system or using a business version of Zello?

The new P25 DoITT system? I don’t see those TGs listed in the DB, if you could make a submission that would be awesome.
It's the older system New York City DoITT (UHF) Trunking System, New York City, New York - Scanner Frequencies not the newer 700Mhz one. And correct, these TG'S are not listed. They must have just set them up for this operation.

Are they running a cross patch from the EMS CW channels on both of those TGs?

Yes, I am picking up traffic on P25 talkgroup EMS City South. Just heard “830Adam” call in a job. I am also getting traffic on EMS City North. I wonder if they plan to encrypt these talkgroups for the duration of the mutual aid operation.

Added to the database for DOITT UHF Trunked System.
If they're not encrypted now it's unlikely they will be, especially if these are mutual aid talkgroups.
Adding encryption would require calling all the radios back in if they don't already have it, and if there are technical difficulties use of encryption would be troublesome for agencies who don't normally use the radios or system.

Agreed, it’s just slightly odd to me they gave them two P-25 talkgroups on a primarily analog system. (That doesn’t have any bearing on encryption or mean its coming, I just thought it was interesting) I’m aware of what it takes to reprogram a fleet of radios and having to strap them with keys.. Many many days and nights of wanting to pull my hair out, lol.. I would agree it would be not feasible to do at this point. My understanding is these talkgroups were created to free up the EMS boro frequencies/Notify talk-group.
Just to reply on my own post - it sounds like all Queens locations on TG 5360.

Hearing the same thing. Sounds like any 800 units are responding to calls in queens.

Listening today and last night, I’m only hearing Queens and Bronx calls on the Hospital notification TG. Is there another talkgroup for Brooklyn, Manhattan and SI? Besides the CW north/south talkgroups.
Also, I can hear the TPT permit tone coming from the dispatcher. Kinda odd to hear.

NYPD CW2 seems to be related. Units going to locations on "10-75's" . No idea what that code is. One call after another. CW2 is also patched on the NY Metro 25 system. This is where I personally heard it first
On the One Voice Network DMR System I'm picking up comms. on tg 200012. They just did a small roll call at 1200 hrs. It sounded like ambulances (Pa. rig xxx) checking in with a placard number and radio number. "Communications" has a radio id of 26117. Units checking in have id 26xxx. No location given. I'm only assuming it's possibly NYC because most of the 200xxx tgs are in NYC. Maybe not, just an assumption on my part. Hearing them loud and clear using the Alpine site. Not very active though. FYI, Chuck. PS, I'm located in NE Bergen County.

Hearing regular hospital notifications on the notify TG along with jobs being dispatched to 800s units. Whoever is dispatching at 1800 hours today is doing an amazing job with the non-stop transmissions.

Agreed. There is a friendly voice that goes by “839” on the two new digital TGs listed above.. he’s done one hell of a job with the constant jobs and getting them out. Its awesome to see the bond being built between the mutual side units, FDNY dispatchers, and FDNY units. Everything appears to be running like a well oiled machine, and there has even been some funny jokes cracked between the MA units and central

Just like I teach the local emcomm hams, standardized procedures and terminology makes it much easier to interface with others of a like mind. Those that worked best with us during 9/11 were the ones with experience doing the same things that we did.
