Bridgeport FD Channel Changes.

[Lynch_Christopher]

On the ScanConnecticut group on yahoo and on CT-Fire EMS I happened to come across these changes relating to the Bridgeport Fire Department.

Channel 1 (Dispatch and Operations) 154.99500 (79.7 PL)
Channel 2 (Primary Fireground non-repeated)153.77000 (156.7 PL )
Channel 3 (Secondary Fireground)155.08500 (156.7 PL )
Channel 4 (Citywide Special Events)155.84250 ( 192.8 PL ) Special Events- Mixed Mode Analog/Digital
Channel 5 (Repeated channel for operations)
Channels 6 to 9 (non repeated tactical channels)


It's nice that the Bridgeport Main dispatch channel will finally be repeated.

 

[jsjazz]

When?

Do you know when the changes will take effect?
thanks for the heads up.

 

[JimTailor]

Are these going to be analog for the time being? Isn't BFD going to an APCO 25 system soon?

 

[jsjazz]

in effect

It's in effect now. I'm hearing FD dispatch repeated on 154.995

 

[Lynch_Christopher]

From what I have heard only the PD plans on being P25 while the BFD is staying analog.

Here is the lineup i got

1- 154.995/151.340 Repeated Dispatch
2- 153.770 Simplex Fireground
3- 159.3225 Simplex Fireground
4- No Change
5- 155.085/159.325 Repeated Fireground (Yes you will hear CH-3 traffic but they will be simplex)

Bob

You Might see it in 5 or so years but I would not look for it anytime sooner, No reason to do it

Im thinking they will go the way of FDNY, if the department that sees the most fire in the country
dose not use digital why would anyone else
They did a study on what's digital simplex fireground have over Analog simplex fireground?
and it was found to have nothing better.

Well, I hate to disagree with you but Branford Fire is using digital even if is part time or mixed.

FIY as to P25 digital at least out west we have entire state systems that have or are going that route

Im in Colorado now , (born in COnneticut,lived in CA for 20 years) CA is starting to go p25 now

It will happen its just time and $$

Just FYI this is the correct list and names below.
The data base is wrong on the frequency for fireground 3

Manny, from what I have heard on the digital side of Branford, its mostly administration and if there were problems on the analog side. Other than that, fire and EMS traffic is free and clear.

I really like listening to Bridgeport and hearing the trucks now on dispatch, though I do miss the fireground traffic.

It's nice that the Bridgeport Main dispatch channel will finally be repeated.

They are in the process of changing PL's on Channel 1. When I find out what it is I'll let you know.
