Dallas Fire - Trunked System Rollout 2022

[benny919]

Also, not all DPD patrol districts are patched yet. I've only seen Central, SE, NE, NC and SC so far.

I have seen Northwest as well

You can hear the gateway squawk on Police so you know some sort of patch is in place but none with fire, which is why I asked. This also clears up why they sound so bad when they shouldn't.

Thanks for clearing this up.

Just in the last hour I have logged the following DFR Apparatus RIDs on the P25 System.
RID Apparatus
7010935 Engine 12
7011175 Engine 49
7012084 Engine 40

“You know, I have no idea. I didn’t hear anything new yesterday. Nor did I hear the chirp at the beginning of each radio transmission like we’re supposed to when you press the PTT. Etc. but I’ll let you know if/when I find anything out”

Message I got from a DFR member on the radios

 

[Motoballa]

So far, no DPD field elements showing UIDs when they transmit.

A couple of days ago the one I wrote down was 7002288, B253 on NE, there are a few more I heard on SE but very few and far between, it sounds like if they are on the system they're using their mobile because when B253 arrived I then heard him on the analog side coming in scratchy, presumably on a handheld.

I think those are the same ones I was hearing yesterday as well.

"Rescue 47, the new radio system is cutting of the first part of your transmission" - 660

Is DFR full-time on the system now? Does that include locution? I will be in the city next week and not sure if I need to bring just my unication or that plus a UHF scanner.

 

[Charlie1068]

As of today they are still on UHF analog I’ve seen only fire dispatch 1 and 2 on the trunk system but they are patched too there UHF channels

About half the apparatus are on the new system. Locution is not. System is patched both ways.

So, is the below data, which contains what appears to be PD/Fire trunking info, not valid anymore, at this link?

Dallas City Local Government Trunking System, Dallas, Texas

Thank you

 

[BenScan]

That system is still up and running. However, I've only seen a few hundred hits on it over the past week or so. I suspect most of those are people being on the wrong, old channel.

From what I'm seeing so far, on my logs & recordings for the new system, is that DFR seems to be using Fire 1 (TGID 32001) as Fire Response, just as 453.875 was utilized, and Fire 2 (TGID 32002) as Rescue Response (453.900 on the Uhf system).

I'm seeing very few, scattered hits, on TGIDs 32003 & 32004, listed as EMS 1 & 2.

UIDs 700080x seem to be used by DFR dispatch consoles. 7000803 & 7000806 are regularly coming up on Dallas Fire 1 when it is "660" talking. 7000802 is coming on Fire 2, which for now is used for Rescues. I've seen 7000808 once,

I'm having a little success on identifying DFR field units (engines & rescues) UIDs.

 

[mass-man]

Still on both layers?

 

[hiegtx]

Still on both layers?

Yes, according to the logs and recordings

 

[Para078]

I'm new to the layered systems. What do I need to program into my SdS200 to hear the new system?

 

[IAmSixNine]

Program in Dallas Layer 1 3-1 into your scanner to monitor dallas stuff.
Dallas Layer 2 3-2 is also carrying some traffic but for me the 3-1 has wider coverage.

 

[n5dki]

signal strengths on layer 1 and layer 2 appear much stronger way down here in Waxahachie today.
maybe they cranked up the power? or conditions are better ?

 

[fwfdengine2]

Thanks for the responses, guys! Ill blow the dust off an old conventional uniden for the trip.
