Did they move? I'm in my truck today and hearing data on what was once the analog system. Have not updated my truck yet.

News? Updates?

I am hearing everything on P25 vs the old system...only issue is the FD feed is really loud and a bit overmodulated...

I am locked in on the old West Orange EDACS this morning and there is zero traffic and this comes with a few fire calls as well as several police dispatches. And in the end, the feed we make, is only as good, as the signal on the scanner..... Rest in Peace West Orange RR feed. 😥

Been a helluva a run.

EDACS now offline?
Multiple failures yesterday with FD transmitting on county fire
Are they going to work on the audio or just leave it sounding like garbage?

Confirmed the EDACS control channel is now off the air. I don't know what the protocols are here but we can probably remove the system from the database now.

The usual submission to the system in the database explaining the situation.

I heard some activity on TG 501 this morning. Not sure what it is. Possibly DPW? The town jitney buses also had radios on the old system at one time. Not sure if that could be it.
