I finally heard a Rochester FD unit on the trunk TG-1806 Ops 8, Engine-12 mutual aid with Brighton with a UID of 2163098 & 022.
I just reviewed several days recordings on 1809 and do not hear anything out of normal. I'm on the West site, Which site are you monitoring ?I presume that I am not the only individual hearing the ear-piercing screeching sound at the beginning of transmissions on TG 1809 (Ops 7 - West Secondary) This is not heard on any other TG. Is this some type of data burst?

I don't know why ,but I just finished programming my 396XT onto the trunk and have been using it to monitor while I'm outside and it works very well. Like you said most of the fire and EMS is FDMA but the PD and individual TG's are P2. I hope they leave it this way then I can leave my 396XT in my truck and listen on the road. The new firmware I loaded also gave me additional P25 adjustments and the ability to load some user ID names with FreeSCAN.For several weeks the Fire/EMS TGs 1071-1076, Fire Ops 18xx TGs and Henrietta FD 1654 have been operating in FDMA mode. Individual department TGs such as CHS and Gates are P II. In the past, Fire/EMS had been primarily P II. I am not sure how long the switch to FDMA has been present, just noticed recently. Does anybody know why or if this will be permanent?
Today I notice that Gates TG 1607 is also now switched to FDMA mode.For several weeks the Fire/EMS TGs 1071-1076, Fire Ops 18xx TGs and Henrietta FD 1654 have been operating in FDMA mode.

Gates is actually moving back and forth, I have my SDS100 and 396XT on my desk and sometimes they are only on the SDS100 in P2 and other times I receive them on both scanners. I thought I had messed up on the 396 programming and after checking that, I noticed they were on P2.Today I notice that Gates TG 1607 is also now switched to FDMA mode.
Units testing with Radio Center "on Tac 1"Anyone ever hear any activity or submit the newly listed Sheriff's Tac 1 TG-2121?
I monitor with search ID and never have heard anything with that ID.
I have seen info that Nov 2 is now the transition date for Fire to the TRS and structure fire response after that date will be on the OPS TGs except for RFD which will delayed until 2021.
