Middletown Fire New RISCON Talkgroup?

[danwilks84]

Does anyone know if Middletown Fire Department is using a new talk group on RISCON? On their VHF channel, I just heard them mention they were finishing using the 800mhz channel and switching back to VHF (training exercise I think). I have all the existing RISCON talk groups that MFD has used in the past (1343 & 1345) programmed, but didn't hear any communication on those. I am wondering if they are finally starting to move to RISCON on a more permanent basis and might have a new talk group assigned that isn't in the database.

If you head on over to Scan New England, Middletown FD is listed on RISCON with a TG of 1343. This is a great data base, but I do find Scan New England to be more up to date with things, and I like that it has a last confirmation date next to the freq.

TG 1343 is Middletown FD Dispatch
TG 1345 is Middletown Townwide (all Middletown town services have access)

TG1344 is Middletown FD Fireground. Maybe add this one to your scanner.

I do have 1343. I think 1343 is typically newport/middletown intercity. I am missing 1344 - that might be the one they are using. I'll add that.

Thanks!

No, it's definitely Middletown FD dispatch. Newport may have access to it, but that is its primary use.
