The last I had heard, the FD was going to have a new frequency and possibly a repeater system added to the existing frequencies in use. PD was looking at encryption and I had heard the analog / digital / mixed transmission capability rumors. Nothing set in stone. As for the new 911 center I didn't hear that it was moving out of Fire HQ. The FD holds the PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) for the city the last I had heard and they were stying put and not moving in with PD. However this is subject to change like everything else in the state.
