Schenectady PD going digital

[mkirker]

So far no big or noticeable changes - Glenville PD/Scotia PD are the only ones using the UCC. Schenectady PD is due to move its former dispatchers over next week. I am now hearing the county sheriff will not be utilizing the UCC at all, not sure why
Niskayuna was set to move next week but that is being delayed for some reason and Rotterdam has no immediate plans to move due to CAD issues.
I am very curious what it will sound like on the radio with the 4 town departments all begging for air time with one dispatcher. I am now pretty certain there will not be any frequency changes just cross patching of radios

Slightly OT, but Schenectady FD seems to be using 460.525 (Coordinators) as a regular secondary channel.

I thought Niskayuna was using it because channel 11 (453.500) was down and out of service. This could also be a temporary move while the UCC gets City Fire Dispatch setup.
