CFD is using a P25 digital UHF set of Freq's for Fire Main, Englewood and a Citywide channel. Fire and EMS are both P25 but different frequencies, Fireground,operational and admin channels are still analog UHF. They are using XTS5000s and UHF/VHF APX7000's for Portable radios. XTL5000 and APX7500 for mobiles.

Any condition on the guys?? Are they back to work? I hope so.

 

Nothing wrong with your photos, who cares about snowflakes in the pic, thats what gives them character.

 

Great shots!

Thanks for info on radios. Does anybody know if the new radios have been added to iPhone scanner apps and if so which app ? Don't think my scanner will pick up CFD from Memphis !!! Thanks

I believe all the live feeds are now the new system. I know for a fact that the radioman911.com is. I am good friends with the site owner.
