IBM Poughkeepsie

Looking for IBM Emergency Control:

Seems 463.325 has gone digital, MOTOTRBO?

IBM EDACS EC talkgroups are quiet as well.

Anyone know what is going on?

I know you have to be pretty close to the IBM site to hear their edacs system. It wouldn't surprise me if NYCOMCO conned them into buying a turbo system

There was a fire at the Poughkeepsie plant this morning. As reported, the EDACS system was totally quiet. However, it's still on the air. Some chiller maintenance activity last weekend (01-045) is the only activity heard on EDACS in the last few days.
Definite MOTOTRBO on 462.325. The other old UHF frequency (462.425) seems to be quiet.

IBM EC had in fact gone to MOTOTURBO. They no longer use the EDACS System. The UHF link is no longer used to communicate with Arlington Fire. EC has the county and AFD UHF frequencies for communication.
