THE END IS NEAR!
Some of you may have heard that the 800 Mhz
Trunked Radio System
on Cape Cod is in the process of being "Re-banded" as part of the
nationwide reallocation of frequency spectrum.
Radio techs have been steadily moving from
one end of the Cape
toward the other in recent weeks.
The process involves reprogramming base,
mobile, and portable
radios with different frequencies and preparing them to
operate within the system when the official change over
takes place in the weeks to come.
It is expected that as a result of the
changes involved in the
re-banding of these radios, some of the older scanners used
by listeners may no longer be able to monitor 800 mhz
"trunked" channels.... including fire dispatch, Ops, and
police dispatch.
In other words, you may want to start
planning and preparing
to upgrade your scanner in the near future.
Just a heads up.
We don't have all the information on exactly what changes
will take place, when, or how your particular radios
may need to be re-programmed....
but there is a good chance the will!
For some scanners, that have previously
been able to
hear the trunked radio system, the end may be near.
They can perhaps continue to hear non-800 Trunked
channels, but will no longer hear what they once did.
As we know more, we will pass it along.
Stay Tuned!

It's not good when you have to send a fire
truck out for repairs on a flatbed.
Dennis Engine 106 recently has it's motor rebuilt.
It was sent back out the other day for additional repairs.
Dennis is down to 2 engines from its normal compliment of 4 engines
in the mean time.
