Ahh, ok. Likely they are using a simplex fireground channel. Can't help you there.

It sounds like they are doing something like New Britain does. New Britain dispatches a full assignment on the dispatch TG. The companies respond on the Incident TG. Then go to the low band fireground channel once on scene. Only New Britain simulcast the low band to their main system.
FYI, Low band is 30-50 MHz
NB uses 700 MHz fireground. Newington simplex, if used, could be UHF or 700/800. The issue could be their mutual aid access to the channels. I'm sure at some point they will be posted though.

Police car 123 id 944522 these are mobiles
That ID is a portable, not a mobile.
Oh, OK cause according to the list that’s on radio reference somebody put those as mobile if you look at the IDs
944522="094-PD-P1-2612"
I am not seeing much CLMRN traffic for 19411/ Newington Fire Disp on the New Britain site for the past couple of days. The last operational calls were on the Troop H site on 12/14...
I am seeing ongoing traffic, on both sites, for:
19421 Newington PD Disp
19431 Newington EMS
19441 Newington DPW
Has Fire gone back to their old dispatch channel or am I missing something?

I’m using my HT 1250 LS for newington like I have for years still hearing them on the old system radio IDs are not showing up anymore but a lot more radio IDs are showing up on the new system the old system sounds digital even though it’s not it’s the LTR system

Digital audio over an analog system still sounds digital
Ok cool so I wonder if they’re gonna be coming off the old system soon or keeping it up and running into the new year or something
At the last Fire Board meeting it was said that the police are still having radios installed in their cars. The police switch over might be at the beginning of the new year. For the whole town to switch over it might be February or March. But the Fire Chief said that is just a guess at this time.
You’re saying the whole town does that mean the board of Ed is switching. I know this was talked about this before

How do we know if these are portables or mobiles if there’s no activity?
I know that they're portables or mobiles based on the IDs, and I also know whoever wrote that has it backwards
If you follow the old written CT Statewide radio numbering policy, 1, 2, 3 prefixes were portables and 4,5,6 were mobiles. Some towns follow that, for example Middletown, but much of CLMRN uses the reverse. I don't know if that was changed via document or just by programming practice.
