What happened to dutchess 911's end tone???

[Marauder]

It changed this morning! I heard some talk about "trouble with the new system" I listen every day ... this is the first I am hearing .. the end tone sounds like Ulster 911's tone. I remember hearing this tone since I was was a kid, what happened? am I out of the loop?

am I out of the loop?

Yes

Yes

So can you tell me why? System upgrade? Simple tone change? They have been using that warble for over 30 years

New Consoles.

Ah cool, Will this effect any scanning or just a simple upgrade? Do you know if they are staying on the 453 channel for good?

Upgrade for future expansion. The old system was maxed out and they couldn't add anymore channels to the old consoles. It shouldn't effect scanning at all. The new console is still using the same base stations as the old console system.

System upgrade?

Not yet, but I do hear they are being courted by Mot for a new system on 700 mhz. Don't know why Mot got to screw with an existing working well system. Just like Westchester, no need for 700 or P-25 analog works fine.

Motorola didn't get to screw with anything....They went from Centracom Elite to a MCC7500.....

I am talking systems not consoles. The base equipment doesn't care what it is controlled by, you can have a Poor Boy remote panel and a T-1600.

Ok again... Motorola didn't screw with anything like you claimed in your one post...

Stuff works great until it breaks. When it breaks and the manufacturer no longer produces the parts for it because it's so old, that system is no longer working well. Equipment goes End Of Life quicker than you might think, and it's not nearly for profit reasons as much as you might think.
