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"?

Defeated No votes 400 something Yes votes 200 something

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.

The people that run commercial raido stations are idoits. Just look at what they did with WCBS / 101.1. They took station that made 30 million dollars and changed the format to Jack radio and ran it into the ground. Then they switched back to oldies after they lost most of their advertisers and listeners.

You may to consider the Motorola Ruggedized computers that are in mnay of the police cars such as Greenburgh, Harrison, Yorktown and Ossining. They are availbale on NYS contract and are 35% off at this time. Contact your Motorola dealer.

It is a great show for the buffs lots of T-Shirts and other stuff like scanners and lights.

OFFICE FOR TECHONOLOGY FINDS M/A-COM IN VIOLATION OF STATEWIDE WIRELESS NETWORK CONTRACT Fifteen of Nineteen Deficiencies Remain Unremediated ALBANY, N.Y. (January 15, 2008) - The New York State Chief Information Officer and Office for Technology (CIO/OFT) today announced that M/A-COM Inc., the vendor awarded the contract to build the statewide wireless network (SWN), has failed to deliver a satisfactory and acceptable public safety communications network and is in default of the contract. As a result, the State has exercised its right to terminate the contract for cause and presented a demand notice for the payment of a $50 Million Standby Letter of Credit to the State (SLOC) without delay. Operational testing conducted by CIO/OFT in November 2008 revealed M/A-COM failed to satisfactorily remediate fifteen of the nineteen, or 79% of the deficiencies, as outlined in the August 29, 2008 default letter, rendering the network unacceptable for public safety use. “We are extremely disappointed M/A-COM has failed to demonstrate the reliability of their OpenSky technology, especially its network and subscriber radios, which are the core of the system,” said Dr. Melodie Mayberry-Stewart, Chief Information Officer and Director of the New York State Office for Technology. “Per the terms of the contract, we have given M/A-COM every opportunity to remediate existing deficiencies. However, the state’s testing concluded M/A-COM is unable to deliver a system that meets the needs of New York State’s first responders as stated in the contract.” As part of the contract award, M/A-COM was required to furnish the State with an irrevocable SLOC in the amount of $50 million. Based upon M/A-COM’s failure to cure its default under the SWN Contract, the State has presented a demand notice to the financial institution for the payment to the State without delay. Further, after any draw down, M/A-COM is required to replenish the account to its full value of $50 million and the State may continue these draw downs up to $100 million in total. Since notice of contract award to M/A-COM in April 2004, the State has incurred more than $54 million in project operating expenses. Additionally, Federal Engineering, Inc., the independent validation and verification firm hired by the State to assure the network meets contractual technical, functional and operational requirements, and coverage requirements revealed similar unsatisfactory remediation results per the SWN contract. The State remains committed to delivering a public safety communications network with statewide coverage providing interoperability that allows for sharing voice and data communications between and among first responders and jurisdictions. CIO/OFT is beginning to research and develop contingency plans and will continue to work in partnership with state agencies and public safety first responders to provide a communications network that meets the high standards of performance required by the State.

For those agencies that run fire and ems such as somers, when you respond to a PIAA is that counted as 1 run or 2 runs for both the fire response and the ems response as if it is counted as 2 I think you are double counting the run. Mahopac is another example as 1900 sounds very high to me.

The PR1500 and MT1500 are the repalcements for the HT1000. Both of these radios use the same charger and audio accesories as ther HT1000/MT2000.
