Rochester Fire on the TRS

[nikronzo]

for the Roc/Monroe county people,
Rochester Fire has switched over to the trunk system after years of issues and red tape and all the other junk. Dispatch is over on TG 1704 now and you won't be hearing the god awful MDC bursts on toneout. Units are assigned an Ops TG to respond on, either primary or secondary 1705 and 1706 respectively. Still hearing traffic on TG1073 the patch to 154.250.

It appears the dispatch is gone from 154.130 but units are still responding on VHF after dispatch on TG1704.

This was a surprise but it appears from monitoring the RFD has finally implemented the Bryx dispatch system which eliminated the use of 154.13 for alerting but response and operations remain on 154.130 and 154.250 pending a full move to the Monroe/Ontario P25 system.

Does anyone have any official information on this? If 154.130 is no longer used for "alerting" I will remove it from the Western Finger Lakes Region Fire VHF Paging feed. Monroe County alerting remains on 154.310.

It is odd that nobody seemed to notice RFD dispatch on 154.130 had gone silent. I would have expected some comments on MonroeCountyFireWire Twitter or "why can't I hear RFD dispatch anymore" on this Forum.

I have deleted 154.130 from my feed and submitted change from Dispatch to Fire Tac on RRDB. I did hear some transmissions yesterday on 154.130 about units going out of service for radio programming.

A 3 alarm fire in a multiple dwelling is in progress this morning and all RFD fireground and response remains on VHF channels 1, 2 & 3 and the associated patch TGs.

VHF Channel 1, which formerly was dispatch, is being used as fireground for this fire.

Dispatch is only on TG1704 but there has been no activity on TG1705 or 1706. VHF portables obviously are still in use since MDC heard on transmissions.
