Is that one available on the G2? They are still playing with different tones for now so we’ll see what they end up making permanent.
Automated Voice Testing on OKC Metro P25?
- Thread starter KI5IRE

I would assume that G2 allows for custom tone sets. I've hard a lot of different systems using different tone sets on what sounds like the G2 voice. According to Phoenix's website, San Antonio Fire is a customer, and I know for sure they have a very similar tone to OCFD, having worked in that market as well.
I’m not sure which tones they will decide to use but I would hope there is at least two different types one for medical and one for anything other, kind of like how it’s set up at this moment but they are still testing the tones. We may know next week the final verdict 🤷🏼♂️
Edit: haven’t listened today until just now flipped the scanner on and seems they changed tones again lol
They went live this morning on the alert channel
I am hoping they fix the abreivations soon.
The ones I remember hearing are...
"HM" for Hazmat
"TK" for Tanker
"ADW Medical" (since 751 was called to some of these i assume its meaning Assault W/ Deadly Weapon
'SWTR" for water assistance

“ADW Medical” is a shooting call. They dispatch PD with that as the call type typically as well. And fire dispatch would go back and forth between “respond on a reported shooting” or “respond on an ADW with Medical”, really just depended on the dispatcher. ADW does mean Assault W/Deadly Weapon. Pretty sure 751 runs on almost all of them.
It through me for a curveball when I started working in OKC. I was so used to hearing a shooting called out over the radio as a “shooting” or “gunshot wound” everywhere else I’ve shot news.
Also, starting to hear more automated dispatch popping up across the state. Sounds like Sapulpa Fire is now running Locution on their dispatch channel, similar to Sand Springs Fire. Interested to see if Tulsa Fire will follow as well or not eventually. They get super busy at times.
Even though it's now being used on the alert channel, I guess they're still trying to get the kinks worked out, like today the automated dispatch sent 4 different companies to the same call. The first due in came over the radio and pointed that out to them so a dispatcher had to cancel the others.
This is probably unrelated but from my understanding anytime a unit self assigns, and OCFD units do it a lot, the auto dispatch will send a page out so you’ll hear the same call be dispatched over many times depending on the incident. Several FFs already told me they hate the voice too lol
I like it but they should try a male voice and see if it sounds better.
Looks like the audio has been corrected and tones sound so much better!
Yes it does. Now they just need to work on dispatching to incidents on the many interstates we have. But that's understandable I suppose, since the human dispatching on them can be challenging too. And sometimes the cross streets are confusing, but I'm sure they'll work on that too.
I notice today fire dispatch is not automated dispatch wonder why they changed it
Could be dispatcher training, or a tech issue with the automated system.
Hope it stays I like it they it is now lol
No idea but it did sound like the auto dispatch was duplicating trucks at random times recently so they prob took it down for now. It sounded like “Engine 5 and Engine 5. Respond to…” 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah I did reliaze that myself probably just working some bugs in the system
