Since it is EMS week nice to see some EMS equipment in between the extremly large amount of fire fighting equipment (LOL).

Fire Ground chnanels are conventional, you don't need a truck scanner to listen to the fire ground channels.

Since I sold the radios to Remsco (Regional Emergency Medical Services Council of NYC) I will once again answer this question in more detail. There are 30 regional councils in NYS and REMSCO is the one for NYC. Go to the DOH web site for more information. As i stated before these are part of the NYC Doitt channel 16 (uses the old TV channel 16 spectrum) and uses a talk group on that system. It is a UHF T-Band (470 - 520) radio with Motorola trunking software. All EMS agencies (vollie and commercial) that operate 911 in NYC and all hospitals in NYC were issued these radios to be used as needed for mass commmunications. It is not part of the old 800 Mhz Motorola Smart Net system as that system is maxed out and cannot be expanded. I am going to get on my soap box and ask why is that some people post answers when they dont know what they are talking about is it to inflate there own ego?

Aprils Fool Joke

They are using a talk group from the new channel 16 DOITT system which is on T-Band (UHF 470 - 512).

I would say that the price will be approximatly $500. As the new scanner will support digital trunking and the current digital scanners are in that price range. You wil pay for the ease and capabilities of the scanner.

For those of us that are not fire fighters and up onto speed on all of nomenclature. What the hell is "Purple K"?

In additon to the economy going down and the new building with huge overhead. HD also added another dealer in New Rochelle so dillute the cuostomer base. Three strikes and their out.

Armonk is multicasting Fire 16 onto 46.20.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why GM is failing.....this truck showed promise, and they dropped it. Same way they lost market share to Ford by dropping the Chevrolet Caprice line..... Why do you assume that this line was a profitable for GM. I would guess that maybe they sold 20, 000 or 30,000 if that many with cost of a production line, parts, traning etc that is not enough to make a profit, you needs to sell a miunimum of 100,000 or 200,000. Its a big country and the cost of doing business from coast to coast is enormus.

Are you sure it is the same boat? As I heard that as part of the NYS budget cuts the NYS Naval Milital could no longer afford to maintain the boat and that Ossining was more than Happy to do so.

Just a techniocal correction here. This is Muticast not Simulcast. Multicast is the same traffic on 2 different frequencies. Simulcast is the same traffic on the same frequency from multiple locations like Duthcess County 911 and Westchester County DPS F1.

Radio needs to go back to the Motorola depot for repair. Contact the either of the 2 DES authoriezed Motorola shops for depot repair whioch are Metrocom 244-3500 or ESS 592-5005.
