Waterbury, Conn. question

[hotbob62]

On the Waterbury system talk group 63 is listed as a fire talk group, but it seems to be non fire related being dispatch. Does anyone know any insight on this ?

tg 62 and 63 are ems patch for amr and trinty

The talkgroups are the rescue and the backup talkgroup which are patched on the stargate console with the control stations for amr and trinity respectively for the time being. This is a temporary solution to provide interoperability between the fire department and the ambulances during the covid-19 "crisis"

Thank you nhfdcadet & cableguy1959 for the headsup on fire talkgroups 62 and 63.

Hi, brand new scanner user here in Waterbury..... pretty much totally clueless except I know how to "hold" and only listen to Waterbury FD&PD 🤗. I'm just a concerned citizen who likes knowing what's going on in my city and I had family on the job for over 30 years.... I just got a Bearcat 436 and just enter my zip if need be and scan, but I'd really like to know how to listen to Waterbury EMS.
Can someone tell me how and the easiest way to get Trinity (formerly Campion) and Waterbury AMR broadcasts please?
Thank you for your help and please excuse my ignorance and misuse of terms and wording.... I have never found something so foreign to me and I majored in Spanish and am a librarian, so I know how to research😆properly haha 🤗 thanks again

if you program in 452.475 (amr) and 461.225 (trinity) you shouldnt have any problem hearing them.

I believe that 452.4750 is AMR Chair car channel. The Ambulance channel is 155.3250

Correct. Hartford has been UHF for a while, Waterbury made the switch sometime in 2018, the dispatcher was multiselected on the VHF and UHF for a while, then the VHF was stopped.
