OK, so it’s coming off the New Britain site and Avon site thank you for the update.
Which means there will be radio IDs And any word from the police department
The police are in the same boat as the fire department. It was said in past meetings that the police will be first to go online. They are still trying to work out a deal with the Callahan family on the Callahan Tower site. Needless to say, no one is happy about the delays. It was supposed to have been online this time last year.
Update on the move to CLMRN in Newington.
New Equipment was installed on the Callahan Tower to support CLRMN. It has been tested and appears to be working well.
Templates for the radios have been complete.
I talked to the Police Chief who informed me that the secondary dispatch channel WILL be scrambled. However all regular comms will remain in the clear.
Both Police and Fire are being patched to CLMRN now. EMS was broadcasting on digital for a big and are now gone. I was surprised to hear them on digital as there was no plans to have EMS on the system
Police and FD are now hoping to be fully on the digital signal in the January February timeframe.

OK, so public works and the school department is going to stay on the old system that’s from what I was told before
So the system that was failing so bad will be kept for DPW and Schools?
I would suspect that they simply reuse the frequencies but they would probably end up with some DMR radios and new repeaters rather than keep the LTR. Just a guess though.

That would be a good idea. Keep the old system is back up and maybe have the school department go to DMR capacity plus
And just echoing what was posted earlier, this is from the Fire Department minutes from last week.
Radio System Update- Chief Trommer, good news this month, all new equipment was installed today at the Callahan site, templet has been approved. No issues as ofright now. Once everything is approved, we can move into next production phase. Hoping to be fully operative by January or February.

I don’t know if this topic was covered, but Newington sites. Are they going to get new 700 MHz frequencies or how is that gonna work?
I've been hearing more Newington traffic on CLMRN:
- Newington PD - 19421
- Newington EMS - 19431
They have been simulcasting for a few months that should be submitted to the database
Yesterday the new digital radios started getting installed, starting with Tac-1. They are looking to do a truck radio a day. And the FD will be the first fully moved to the CLMRN system.
Cool I don’t know if this was covered before, but do they plan to stay with the analog conventional channels that they have now? For fire incidents Or did they just plan to use the VHF for fire Page ?
I asked and was given the answer of "they weren't sure."
Shouldn't they know this before they convert?
OK, we will just have to wait and see
Now to start building a UID List. I added UID Logging to Proscan, so I can look at at my audio archives and see the UID's and listen to hear who they are - My Scanner Site
Still however only seeing UID 949201 for everyone.
