	Waltham Police & Fire Waltham PD (Ch. 1) & Waltham FD (Ch. 1 and Ch. 2) 2/11/25 - I upped the gain on the police audio as it's often much quieter than fire but watch out, some of those cops are loud... might distort I may add the second police freq in the future. Status: 2/13/25 - to 'donnadee': LOL PLEASE SUBMIT A REPORT IF YOU NOTICE A SUSPICIOUSLY-LONG SILENCE.	Public Safety	14			Online

Feed Notes

FYI THE FEED DELAY IS ON THE ORDER OF ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND TIMING BETWEEN CALLS MAY NOT BE PRESERVED; HOWEVER, NOTHING WILL BE LOST IF, FOR EXAMPLE, BOTH THE PD AND FD ARE ACTIVE AT THE SAME TIME.

THREE Frequencies Monitored:

(1)

Location: Waltham, MA
Frequency/Modulation: 470.5125 MHz (Conventional P25 Phase 1)
Alpha Tag: "Waltham PD-1"
Description: "Police F1 Operations"

(2)
Location: Waltham, MA
Frequency/Modulation: 470.1125 MHz (Conventional NFM)
Alpha Tag: "Waltham FD1"
Description: "Fire Ch 1 Operations" (analog only)
(if the FD up and decides to use their P25P1 capabaility, then you're just going to get your eardrums blown by the raw signal - if they actually SWITCH, I should pick up on it within a day or two and turn the decoder on - if this ever happens, feel free to notify me directly)

(3)
Location: Waltham, MA
Frequency/Modulation: 472.225 MHz (Conventional NFM)
Alpha Tag: "Waltham FD2"
