I've updated my frequency by tower database based on this. I can email to anyone interested.
The one thing I noticed in the recent, and long delayed, county update and the above frequency list is the addition of a site at Mercyhurst North East.
How did you know it was Mercyhurst NE, rather than the main campus? I missed that.
Look at the county update.
Looking at the county update, I see 2 sites listed as Erie DPS, which I assume is Dept. of Public Safety. I know the 911 Center is Flower Rd. , but why is the Edinboro East Tower (Sharp Rd.) shown as Erie DPS also?
The update also references an Erie 82 state tower site. No mention of that in the listing Terry got from Mike. Anyone know why?

Also see they have both simulcast cells listed as cell A urban. Think they were in a hurry to come out with the update.
All that work, and they still haven't posted the update to the county's web site. Still showing the one from last October.
Noticed that too!
Being there backup secondary consoles are at Ecare what is it designated as ?

The reference to DPS for the Sharpe Rd site indicates tower owner. Erie 82 is the state tower at 5 points (Wattsburg East), Erie 40 is Presque Isle.
Yes. Friday I logged 2000 hits on site 002. It sounded like a prerecorded test that kept repeating.
Strange - I'm only hearing this on my old analog scanners (BC245, BC3000). But not my BC780 or BCD996.
That is the analog pager freq, also Millcreek Fire West. It is the same test message I was hearing on site 002 Friday.
Heard same here on Fire West Freq. Had to lock it out for a while!
Any idea why I'm only hearing it on my old analog scanners (BC245, BC3000). But not my BC780 or BCD996.
From what I have been told Millcreek wants no part in this thing the county is creating,with good reason ,look at Eries history with radio systems ? (It ain't pretty,logical or cheap)
A. it's usually a waste because they don't know what they are buying
B. The end users want to push a button and talk and the message get thru
C. They have existing bad habits from misuse of existing technology that is going to cause serious growing pains.
Lawrence park took a leap of faith and joined on because it was a cheaper option and they had a plan for repurposeing the personeel going forward,basicly knowing there needs are smaller and there "exposure" is minimal ,if this doesnt workor go well .
Millcreek has much much greater exposure and a serious demand for emergency services (peach street need i say more?) .
Millcreek knows it can opt in at later date at a slightly greater cost ,but with much less drama and growing pains , i honestly think Millcreek is being very smart about this , and think the county of Erie has alot to learn and experience before is ready to be sole provider of communications , there lack of 1. Personeel 2. infrastructer 3. Standards & training 4.Planning .
Just the way they use(and abuse) people for all they can ,and then let those skills and abilities walk away spent and exhausted has to stop ! There ability to manage and retain talent is slim to none ,consequently there ability to draw in and recruit new talent for future needs is next to impossible .
They are building a new radio system GREAT
They don't have sufficient personnel to use there existing systems ,the workload on existing people is huge and the new system is going to get worse before it gets better,the bigger question how bad will it get and for how long ? They need a revamp of HR talent and contracts, pay scales & benefits that make sense.
And in a related vein the fire department newest apparatus is 15 years old , the amount of times E care doesn't have resources or buses to provide is alarming( this goes to contracts with E care that is "private agency" started by Vincent/Hamot) ,the amount of times Fire & EMS depends on outside volunteer services to pickup there slack in answering routine needs in off peak ,non MCI is way to high for a major area. So the City and County management in so many ways needs refreshment & training that a 30 million dollar radio system isnt going to provide .
The way i see it Millcreek is being smart , there communications works, there personnel issues are smaller ,there fire departments equipment hasn't been neglected & the tax base is growing as ours is contracting ,when there communications equipment lifecycle is ending they will be in better position to evaluate the feasibility of the counties system & performance over a longer period ,not making a snap decision everybody in the boat as it sinks to the bottom of the lake .
