Boston Mass box 10-43 special announcement / special signal

[Peteri Szerlagi]

effective immediately - channel 1 is moving to the backup transmitter
- all portables will operate on channel 2 unless assigned to a
fireground channel - when operating in traffic tunnels or subways use
Channel 4 - channel 1 will be restricted to above ground use of mobile
radios - expect channel 1 to be back in full service in 2 to 3 days

essentially - going back to the scheme they used in the 33.74 / 153.89
/ 154.265 and early UHF days (1980s iirc) - FAO will have to simulcast
on Ch 1 and Ch 2 - no mention of Ch 5 483.3125R which does work in the
subways afaik

[Peteri Szerlagi]

boston channel 1 is much weaker at my location than normal

some radio testing is being done on ch 1

they seem to have settled into the new setup quickly - dispatchers
need to pay more attention to if they are on Ch1 or Ch 2 - not hearing
any simulcasting / multicasting / duocasting of ch1 and ch2 yet

ch1 = 483.1625
ch2 = 483.1875
ch3 = 483.2125
ch4 = 483.2375
metro red = 483.3125
they have some district repeaters also - maybe 483.175 483.20 483.225 483.25

[Peteri Szerlagi]

boston fd ch1 483.1625R seems to be back in normal operation today - ch2 is quiet once again (waiting for the next working fire)
