LAKEWOOD FD going P25

[UNICATIONWAVES]

Rumors have it that Lakewood fire department is switching over they're 450MHZ system to a P25 PHASE 2 system.
I spoke to the lkwd fire chief, but there is no actual real info regarding what type of system they will use. will they go 500 or 800MHZ?
Anyone that has info regarding the system upgrade pls advise.

there was a mention that Lakewood EMS would upgrade to p25, but id be surprised.

 

[UNICATIONWAVES]

Is there any websites were you can see upcoming radio systems? My concern is if they're going 700MHZ.

 

[elias1988]

Not that I know of besides FCC licensing which none are pending for Lakewood,only way is to ask someone in the department.

I believe they are upgrading their volunteers Miniter VI Pagers to unication G2 indicating that they will probably be switching to P25 phase ll Conventional UHF using various NAC codes.

Unless something recently changed P25 Phase II conventional doesn’t exist.

Correct, no such thing. P25 Phase II is trunked only.

In an effort to eliminate juvenile interference on its emergency radio frequency, the Lakewood Fire Department radio channel will soon be digital.Any idea if this will be a frequency change.I heard they put up a new tower,but thats all.

I found part of the answer from a post from 2020:Rumors have it that Lakewood fire department is switching over they're 450MHZ system to a P25 PHASE 2 system.

That would be the county 700 MHz system since conventional P25 Phase II doesn’t exist. No changes are pending on their license for P25. I suggest running their current frequency in search mode.

Local news site posted the following; NO MORE INTERFERENCE ON THE RADIO: Fire Department channel to go digital - LNN news
When they wrote digital i think they were referring to P25

Lakewood switched to P25 yesterday on their current UHF frequency using NAC 398,they were patched to the county P25 fire interoperability TG also.
