Are they having issues with coverage on their system or are they just interested in digital in general? Seems like it has great coverage now analog.

Where's a source to back this up? I have friends in New Milford who listen to them but only have an analog scanner so if they plan to go digital at least I can help them get another scanner lined up before it happens
That’s very odd when they just got this system a few years ago

It’s still in the talking phase, nothing official has been decided.

There are issues with the system now, Coverage is not great with portables. A lot of dead spots and terrible the second you walk inside a house.

That's not great. Do you have a source, including yourself?
I've not seen any documentation on this going p25, just people mentioning it on RR.
My friend new new milford does not have a PC as he's a much older person and thinks the internet is bad so I like bringing him stuff to read on it
There is some audio that is scratchy but not all the time .

I work for the ambualnce. Again all is still in the talking stage and figuring out the logistics included in it. There was a communication committee formed within the town and this has been one of the questions that has been coming up.

What about the audio you don’t hear because it’s not making it to the repeater? I have first hand experience with dead zones working for the ambualnce.
And Brookfield fire and police does have bad reception when there is a storm that takes out the WLAD radio tower and the repeater over by Lake Lillinonah bridge
And as someone who had worked in dispatch, I can say that this is one of the worst scenarios for us as well if we can't hear you.
Do you know if CLMRN has been discussed as an option? Is there enough in-building and street coverage over there?

Please contact your radio provider to have the channel updated at your convenience. Fireground 2 & 3 will remain analog.

I didn't think this would ever happen since it's been in the works for so long. Do you know what the NAC will be?
PD as well or just fire?
Sounds like the changeover is complete. Oddly enough all the NACs are the same as what the DCS codes were. PD NAC 251, Fire NAC 271 and DPW NAC 503
A Little Late to the game, but yes, it seems that PD, Fire, and possibly other town services are going to P25 today. Ive been monitoring for about 30 mins now, and indeed it looks like their NAC is what their old PL/DPL tones were. Good for them! Glad they made the switch, and it seems (so far) to be working well.
Brookfield PD: NAC251
Brookfield FD NAC271
Haven't recorded DPW or anything else yet.
Has anyone submitted the updated info yet?

Yes, and the DB has been updated.
May be worth noting I’m starting to see some E on the PD channel…hopefully not a sign of things to come
