Re: 911:: Fw: Emergency Frequency (Dispatch) Question

[Guest guest]

I'm a little confused by the intent of the question, but I have some suggestions

as starting points. The decoding of DTMF or other multi-tone or sequential

format signalling can be done through a receiver ste up with the proper board

and set to the frequency. If you were able to obtain an older style " Plectron "

or 110 VAC home alert receiver that automatically reset after each call,

installing a counter device or program on the alert closure relay would give you

a simple " call count " . However, unless the FD uses MDTs, there is no " data " to

be obtained from the broadcast. And, seeing as the agency in the example is

using one of the lowband fire channels common to NY state fire, I am assuming

that it is simplex voice and alerting only. If call information is what is

desired, I'd suggest contacting the county fire control center, and discuss the

potential of using an html push feature that could post selected CAD records to

an appropriate source.

Maybe I don't understand the problem, but wouldn't the County dispatch

center have a CAD that could print a report with run types, locations, etc?

I know ours does...or is that not what he is looking for???
