Cheyenne PD WyoLink cutover

[kd7gxu]

Info on WYOLINK from dispatch, after the switch over antennas were NOT setup for the system for dispatch as the officers could hear but dispatch could not. This came from the email my wife got from the director in explaining why the falback had to happen. So its a equipment problem that has to be fixed and corrected before dispatch can go back to WYOLINK again. There has been talk about putting CPD on the 800 fire system but thats a change over in radios and various other equipment as well and a LOT of cash to switch PD to 800. If I get anymore information I will try to keep everyone updated.

Thanks.

If I had to guess why they went back to conventional it would be busy tones. There was probably a busy tone during an event and the officer probably assumed his radio didn't work. The conventional allows them to walk on each other instead of getting a busy bonk. The dispatcher can only understand one radio talking at a time on conventional, but the perception is that the conventional is better.

Guess they did some "work" last night and tried it again. So still a bounce around between conventional and WYOLink but they had some issues with it last night in not havoing the system work the way it supposed to. And Im guessing that the "antenna" email that was sent didnt have a gosh darn thing to do with it as I drove by after work and the same antennas there were on the old system are still up there. Im just hoping they get it all corect as I know my wife comes home with clumps of hair missing in not being able to get her job done correctly.

Cheers.

Changing the antenna on a wyoLink site isn't as easy as simply buying them and putting them up. There is a LOT of process when it comes to ordering, waiting for manufacture, and implementing the antennas.

If it were in fact the antennas, it could take a month or more until new ones are in place.

Just curious, did they ever switch back to Wyolink?

I'm out of town on an assignment for a bit, but before I left I heard some of the city units on LE-1 but for the little I was paying attention I couldn't tell if it was routine traffic or they were on it for some other reason.

All CPD and SO seem to be on WYOLINK. I haven't heard any traffic on conventional.

All I have been getting on Conv is distant stations and a lot of squelch

I think it is 259. I heard some deputies discussing what to do when they get to the next location. Maybe someone else can verify then we can update the database.

i think the TG is 260 02-CPD2 and the cheyenne lifeflight Dispatch is TG 262 both have been updated in the DB,
the 02-SO i am not sure about have not heard that one yet.
