Bucks Fire East VHF

[joeyperillo]

Is it just me or has 151.220, Bucks Fire East simulcast of TRS gone away? My digital gizmo is in repair so I don't even know if the entire Bucks Fire system has gone the way of the free from transparency LE agencies (he grumbled bitterly)....any update, fellow cult members? Grazie.

Hi Joey how are you! Haven't seen you in a long time.

I listen to 151.22, pl 97.4 everyday... everything works fine.

There are no plans to encrypt fire radio in Bucks County. They do have the capacity to hear encrypted police calls. EMS does have some selective encryption on Hospital notification talk groups and once in a blue moon you may hear an ambulance switch to encrypted on the dispatch frequency but it's not common.

Hello there, Bob! Yeah, been a while.....I hardly look here anymore, losing interest more and more - you understand - sent my SDS for repair, contented myself with Bucks East - I can't get it at all anymore - this morning even the App said this station hasn't been heard in 6 hours.....I have two analogue radios on now.....silence! Bizarre - and I understand Robbinsville went to The Dark Side hence their VHF is gone as is Hopewell's VHF (though they're still clear - and infrequent on the Mercer system......so - how's Bob? You happy with your HAM life? Was in a play but didn't tell you because it wasn't very good - but I still have reasonably good health so there's that - hope you are well.

Well Joey. First of all, as I said above, the vhf rebroadcast of the Phase ll East band is working fine as always. I've gone to a Yaesu ft 65 with three objects programmed in addition to scanning my 2 usual ham radio repeaters that I haunt.

I will check out the streaming apps, they're all the same, secondary to what radio reference has available. There is a chance that could be down, I have no idea, I'll take a look later if I get a chance. I'm not a big fan, as I'm sure you can understand secondary to our full encryption of police.

If you would let me know what happened to your sds200 and why it is in repair? I don't want to go off topic here. You are free to text me if you want and let me know what happened.
