Essex County Fire & EMS

[amcare38]

Is Essex County working toward moving Fire & EMS paging off low band onto the digital VHF system? Yesterday & this morning they’ve been broadcasting 2 tone pager tones followed by verbal 5 counts. I’ve been hearing this over the Whiteface & Defience sites

Would make sense, as Motorola Minitor pagers no longer support low band.

I was listening to the broadcastify scanner the other day and heard them send tones over P25 however haven't heard them while scanning. Is there a differant frequency they are sending them out over? Maybe im having a technical issue but I still hear units calling to dispatch and dispatch calling to units

They've been sending calls out on the P25 for almost 2 years since I started listening from Defiance, Whiteface and Angier. However, you will also hear the tones on 46.4600mhz as well. Clear the NAC codes and see what comes in.

Essex County will broadcast an alert tone & brief announcement, sometimes simply “stand by whatever agency” or sometimes agency, address & nature of call, over the P25 system. Departments are actually dispatched on 46.4600(CSQ). That frequency is only used for paging. Traffic between units & dispatch is all on the P25

Does Essex County tone out Lake Placid Fire and Lake Placid Amb?

If so, what frequencies?
