Pawtucket FIRE

[KB18]

Does anyone know if Pawtucket fire will go back to using RISCON full time? I live in East Providence and I get a very weak signal at best It would be nice to hear them loud and clear once again Thank you

 

[wa1lad]

I believe it's coming. They just ordered all new Zetron station alerting equipment and the West Ave fire station reconstruction has begun. Big things happening there so standby.......

To wa 1 lad You must be psychic because you are 100 percent correct I just heard Pawtucket fire on RISCON today loud and clear If you're that good tell me what the Power ball numbers are; it only up to a billion 😉

 

[wa1lad]

LOL......About 97.5% of what I post/answer is 100% on the money, but there is always the chance I may be wrong. When it comes to RISCON, its 110% correct every time........

Now if only all other analog departments would follow their lead it would be a great day for scanners everywhere Before Pawtucket fire switched to RISCON I could barely hear them over the static I could actually get Fall River better that is porthetic because I'm in East Providence Barrington line and it's only what about 7 miles away from Pawtucket

I'll agree to disagree with this statement.

I'm twice as far away from Pawtucket as you are, I get them loud and clear on analog. Is there an obstruction between you and their transmitter site like a large building?

It would depend on what channel he is listening to. They have multiple transmit locations.

I should mention that I am using a stock back of set telescopic antenna Unfortunately I can't install one on my roof Their channel one dispatch 470.9500 MHz I get two bars on signal meter and their channel two Fireground is very weak Let's just say I'm glad they are now on RISCON

WA1Lad, do you have an updated list of RISCON talkgroups? I have been trying to locate Quonset Fire (state fd) & DEM Dept of Forestry (firefighting) TG's. And if there are other secret squirrel tg's that are in the clear please past them along. Thanks

 

[KB1UAM]

Quonset Fire operates on 140.9125. Not sure of the PL.

odd Fire is not even listed at RR

But SNE has a recent (February) confirmation - Not on the Trunk

Quonset FIre is TG 304
Quonset FD VHF pl is 151.4
DEM Forestry is TG 131. They are dispatched on TG 120, DEM Dispatch. And, they will conduct operations on one of a bunch of direct freqs in their radios occasionally.

Thanks, I had that one but not the RISCON TG....

Thanks WS1LAD, I have been looking for those for awhile...you are right about being a wealth of knowledge about RISCON, would you happen to know the numbers for MEGAMILLIONS

Gil is TG:304 patched/simul to the VHF that you know of ?

 

[wa1lad]

Hi Bill,

It is not. I don't believe RIANG has the ability to patch, at least they didn't last time I was there. The have mobile radios or standalone consolettes for each VHF and 800 TG they use.

P.S. I have tried the lottery numbers thing...seems my insight ends with radio things...

 

[KB18]

To wa1lad Since you were right on the money about Pawtucket fire switching to RISCON do you know of any other departments planning to join RISCON as well? Thank you

 

[wa1lad]

It may be worth having Cumberland, Middletown, Tiverton, East Greenwich, Smithfield and Burrillville FD's in whatever device you listen to RISCON with....

What do you mean? They're planning on moving to RISCON or they have moved already?

 

[KB18]

Tiverton police and fire are already operating on RISCON full time as well as Smithfield fire?????
