New Trunked Radio System Cutover

After many months of discussions, information sharing, planning and testing, the Westchester County
Department of Emergency Services is excited to announce that we will be switching over to the new and
enhanced P25 Digital Trunk Radio system on Wednesday, February 2, 2022.

On February 2nd, starting at 10:00 AM, we will begin the transition process of moving from the old
system to the new P25 digital system. By 12:00 PM, the entire “old” trunked radio system will be turned off, meaning any attempts to communicate on it will not work.

As a precautionary measure, we will also be monitoring conventional frequencies of 46.26, 46.06 and UCALL40 if necessary.

Does anyone know how this will affect the feeds on Broadcastify and other sites?

I stand corrected from what I said earlier - it seems the feed for Rivertowns Fire/EMS may not be affected on Broadcastify. Heard 60-Control page Harrison EMS/FD loud and clear a couple of minutes ago.

 

Also hearing what sounds like radio tests... "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1." Unsure if this is originating from a 60-Control frequency or a local one.

Does anyone ever receive anything on the County FD Tactical or Operations talk groups?
