Buffalo Fire

[Ben830]

Yesterday I heard on Buffalo Fire, that when they dispatched calls they told them to respond on Ch. 3. But when I put it on Ch.3 I heard nothing. Are they using a new Ch.3? Any why do they use for what it seems like every call.

I have been listening to them all day on CH 3 423.900

Is this apart of the city's digital radio changeover? I heard a few months ago that this was the way of things going, but, the police, fire and city were having funding problems to get everything online. Has anyone heard more?

I am picking up Channel 3 with no problems.

BFD moved to UHF quite some time ago.

Buffalo fire maybe doing this ?

Been listening to channel switching , than going back to same format , have not talked to any firefighter from buff fire yet , but i noted ,it still looks like buffalo fire is still on [fm] not [narrowband] , thats what scanner id shows fm.
Nothing heard on programed p-25 , buff fire freq's.

 

[BTFire21]

I would be shocked if Buffalo Fire moved to P25 due to all the fireground problems with ambient noise and digital audio. Buffalo PD on the other hand is moving over there.

Canisius Public Safety already has the new digital radios installed in their vehicles because BPD is switching over... and the fact that they've only been able to listen to Transit Police via Uniden scanners.

 

[jeepsandradios]

Transit is on 800 Edacs so Im sure thats why they use a scanner.

 

[n4njj]

Yeah, exactly. Canisius PS works very closely with BPD and Transit Police because of the high crime in the area. All three have jurisdiction over the same area since the campus has subway stations on both ends.

Do you read threads before you comment? I was responding to message #3 in the thread, not message #1.
