Sure will be nice hearing Chester PD again
Delaware County Pa New System
- Thread starter captaincab
- Start date
I heard the switch over announcement on the new system for sector 1. Then I heard the switch over announcement for sector 3 on the (now) old system. I have to say the old system sounded so much clearer,
on the Delcom side or the police unit side ?
Both, the new system sounds a tad robotic, a little fuzzy is the best way to describe it. Can understand what is being said no problem, but the analog was a lot crisper.
Not for me
could be the placement of the microphone to the mouth - if too close will sound muffled. It takes time for the users and the listeners (us) to adjust to the different radios and analog versus digital
Gotta wait until Thursday for my former hometown to make the move
Nice to be able to see other talk groups that are active even though they are not monitorable (using DSD here) the SDS200 at home scans right by them.
Remind me, what are you using to monitor again?
Uniden SDS200 with a Cobra 4inch speaker and a Spectrumforce Wideband Antenna with mag mount and BNC.

Looks like you were able to get that updated, glad your onboard. 👌
I do have both going right now, but not sure how I got it there. It's a mess on the Sentinel page with too many entries under other entries all doing the same thing. I saw a page where I could turn on and off different favorites on the scanner itself but can't find my way back to that page. Right now I'll leave it alone until everyone is on the TRS system, then I can get rid of the EMS dispatching, maybe just start over, just a few more days.
thanks
Fire & EMS are dispatched on the same talkgroup. If you're looking to "get rid of" EMS Hail, press the Avoid key twice when the talkgroup is active and it'll avoid the talkgroup permanently but keep it in the favorites list in case you change your mind later
How do the UID’s BBB breakdown?
Quite a few emergency buttons being accidentally tripped...
See Steve and my notes here
Probably getting used to handling the new radio - a button used to do this now that same location I am used to does something else
Yeah that is where I am struggling .... they are using the standard vehicle call sign - say 27-21 over the radio but the RID changes based on who is using 27-21 (aka the portable radio). Fixed mobile RIDs are easier to lock down but the portables can move around between vehicles it seems. Down here in Cape May on NJICS the units use the district plus the badge number to identify over the radio in most cases - so a little easier to identify the use. Officer xys is badge number 545 so 12-545 is that officer (consistently) and that he how they identify when active.
It will take a while but that is what makes it a hobby and not a job
Got it thanks for your help!
