Delaware County Pa New System

[stevecast2024]

Tones sound different than the legacy system too, are they all changing?

I know... I could play guess that tone with the best of them. I tried to keep them as close to the original as possible.

Yep. Like 53. A lot of the towns thay had their own before coming to the county didn't change tones and they didn't fit in to the original county tone plan.

09 had the lowest & highest. Better capture them all now and keep them for posterity while I still can

Oh a warble tone

Oh a warble tone

Yes. We have that on Cardiac Arrests, shooting, stabbing, entrapment, and building fires right now.

I'm surprised nobody caught the treat on TG200 that we threw up earlier today.

I heard them today loud and clear in many spots in New Jersey along the Rt 73 corridor between Voorhees and Mount Laurel. Then again in NE Philly along Cottman Avenue.

Question I am using Todd’s BTT P25RX-2 scanner. I have programmed the frequency of 770.53125 as the CC for Lima Site 1. I have yet to hear any voice traffic but keep seeing “TIME UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT (unhandled) on my log. Any idea why no voice traffic?
Thanks

There are only currently a few radios programmed for testing. No has been talking for a while and the second talk group hasn’t had any active dispatches for the past 15 or so minutes.

Edit

Dispatch just going out now.

 

[shirsch101]

Just seeing the time announcement in the log and see or hear anything. What is the time announcement?

 

[cavmedic]

No clue, I have a county radio

I've been receiving all Fire/EMS dispatches on TG200 RID:9002 since about 04:30, when I programmed my TRX-2 and SDS200.

How do you manually enter the info into the SD200 ? do you use the Uniden Sentinel software ? Thank You

 

[cavmedic]

I programmed my SDS at home manually using pro scan. I find sentinel to be a royal pain in the ass to deal with.

I programmed my SDS200 using ProScan and the RRDB import feature. I normally program everything by hand, but wanted to be able to use the RRDB differences feature down the road, just in case.

My TRX-1, TRX-2 and other GRE/Whistlers, I programmed manually using EZ-Scan. That's what I normally do.

Right now, I'm amazed that I'm receiving anything from where I'm at, so like I said before, I'm impressed. I'm used to hearing Sector 7 weak and scratchy.

I'm getting used to the digital voice. I do like the speed of the spoken words and the consistency of the single voice.

My wife heard it this morning, and her first comment was, "Nobody's going to lose their job over this, are they?" I guess she's been watching the nightly news too much lately.

Getting used to the new tones, will probably be the hardest. I still have 03, 20 & 144 etched in my brain.

So far, so good.

Out of curiosity, did anyone figure out what the "treat" was on Thursday? I must have missed it while in Riddle. I couldn't pick up anything or send/receive texts while in the MOB building.

The automated dispatch addition

 

[stevecast2024]

It will take getting used to but the goal was to try and get the speech script as close to how voice dispatch goes out now.

The process of loading tones, waiting for the tones to complete sending then put the voice out is time consuming. While that task is happening the dispatcher is pretty much limited to waiting. Some of today's responses have up to 8 or 9 sets of tones. 8 tones times 5 seconds for each tone set is 40 seconds just waiting for tones to be done. 1 second A tone 3 second B tone with 1 second gap in between.

I've been listening to the live voice alongside the auto and comparing.

Nice to see this is being rolled out. Chesco killed their automated voice project.

Definitely getting the automated dispatch before the page or voice.

Did you turn the output level down? Definitely sounds less distorted today on my SDS100. Glad 26's tone is still the same. 37's was changed to a 2260hz end tone. This is fun

 

[shirsch101]

What frequency are you hearing this on?

Yes. I bumped the level way down. I may go a tad lower. It sounds good on portable but I have to see how it sounds on the pagers.
