Why is there double frequencies on the homeland defense network? And also who confirmed that Trinity ambulance is on this system I hear them on the UHF conventional channels, I do not hear them on The trunk system I am working in Torrington

As far as I know trinity is not going to a new system and remains on the UHF, as far as hunters are they actually on this System?

Hunters, ambulance is on the system yes but why is someone putting that into the database? And why are the same frequencies in there twice

Trinity Torrington is active on the trunked system. Addresses in Torrington with vehicles doing 911 calls and transporting to Charlotte.
I would guess that the UHF is a patch for any cars not equipped with Tier III radios. However, that usually makes EXTERNAL show on DSDPlus if that is the case and it is not there. It the last 24 hours, I have logged 14 cars and the Dispatcher shows Stafford Base (Johnson Hospital is a Trinity property).

OK I apologize for any inconvenience just because it’s coming from you CJ I know you pay very close attention to systems so I apologize for any admin that did a update on the system but CJ I have a question why is there double frequencies?

The double frequencies are fixed. It was an issue with the import. I didn't realize it would duplicate them.

Ok Sorry, I was just confused thank you. I just didn’t want to put them in the radio twice. I didn’t know if there was different color codes

to my understanding, the system didn't cover waterbury well so they remained on their existing conventional system until the completion of the wolcott site. Torrington has been using the trunked system for a while now

I would expect to see eventual expansion as they have several talkgroups on the system.

as i'm sure youre aware, trinity is now operating out of johnson as well, so I'd imagine theyll have talkgroups for that area as well. unless one of the unspecified "medical transport" ones is that.

So Trinity is eventually getting off the UHF frequency like AMR did and will be full time on this system once the wolcott site is complet?

Because that's what Marcus Communications named it.

When did AMR dump the UHF? I was just listening to them a few weeks ago in Waterbury
