Pinellas County P25

[productionguy85]

Let me rephrase my question.
Is all of Pinellas County and St. Pete on the P25 trunked system yet?
Which of the five sites are being used on P25/ If not then which sites are being used? (2,4,5,10,12.)
I have just started listening to the Pinelias systems on the analog Simulcast side. Would like to listen to the P25 digital side.
Thanks

Gotcha Ya... About 50-75% has switched over to the P25. It is very hard to realistic confirm this as the majority of Law Enforcement have/ are going secure. ie- with the sheriffs office, only the Patrol and Bravo TGs are clear, EVERYTHING else is gone. All of St. Pete PD & public services have switched. Fire, Sunstar, Bayflite and Med channels are the primary users of the old system now.
Sites:
2- North County (No activity yet)
4- South County (Primarily St. Pete)
5- County Wide
10- Public Safety Complex
12- HPD (No activity yet)

Refer to the "Pinellas SO Audio...." post in regards to Site 10

On Wednesday afternoon, Pinellas Fire was on the analog system, today, it is silent. Listing to the new digital system, I hear only law enforcement. I'm able to monitor the feed from Brodcastify and it sounds analog. Any idea what is going on?

Fire is on Analog.... 1E is Clearwater Structure fire. FYI, Pinellas County Fire/ Rescue all use MDTs in vehicles. Also, most districts also have laptop/ tablets they use on medical calls. All of which significantly cut down on Radio talk. They is perhaps what you were experiencing.

Listening to both the Ridgewood and Toy Town sites and hear no FD units. Hearing dispatch of the feed, nothing on my 396xt. Is FD dispatch still on 36864.

I've been listening to FD off and on since 10 this morning. Just tuned in again and all is still normal as of this posting. Not sure why others are experiencing issues.

That user was using Broadcastify, so could have been the feed. Nothing has changed as far as Fire Rescue and P25.

PCFR is live on P25 site 5 as I type this.

1A is on 512. Continue in increments of two for the rest of the tacs.

1H (526) is encrypted.

[Bolt21]

Yes. As of right now, the assigned med channels aren't coming up.

boy sure sounds like crap must be the fact that its patched to the analogue system....hope none of the p25 stuff goes encrypted except the surveillance and pt. sensitive stuff that is.

Ya, I only heard "Last unit on Med Alpha". No actual Med Coms

Not sure. Anyone know why 1H would be encrypted?

 

[productionguy85]

Could be testing. However, 1H is not patched to analog 1H. If you scan analog, 1H never pops up like is does on P25

I think its where bayflite gives pt. reports to ground during an incident so it should be encrypted in my view

Have the 536hp here and largo PP and stpete sound crystal clear on p25 but pcso and now fd sound the same like crap lol.

Umm, Pin County doesn't have a designated Bayflite on scene channel. Usually, BF and the prearrival med report are give on the channel the call is working on. Only in rare cases (ie large vehicle crashes) does the LZ and BF use a different channel.

Anybody happen to know what 1600 and 1602 are? They are both secure and have been active for (atleast) the past 2 weeks.
