The Central New York Interoperable Communications Consortium
(CNYICC) is a multi-county APCO Project 25 (digital) compliant project designed to
function as an "interoperable land mobile radio communications system, one
that supports Fire, EMS and Law Enforcement, as well as others, such as
highway, schools, water, and other vital utility and service functions."
CNYICC is made up the following counties in Upstate NY; Onondaga, Oswego,
Cayuga, Madison, Oneida, Jefferson and Broome. They are core members using the shared core system.Cortland, Lewis and Tompkins counties
are non-Core Members (not using the shared core) that are interoperable, but operating on their own core system.
Onondaga county was the first to go live with testing of the
network beginning late in 2009. The Syracuse Police Department became the first
agency to go live on the system in February, 2010. Onondaga county police
agencies followed a month later, with county Fire and EMS agencies later that
year. Cayuga County Fire and Police dispatching through the Cayuga County 911
Center cut over from analog to the new Digital Radio System in December of
2012. Broome County is the latest core member going live in 2022.
Scanner listeners need a digital trunking receiver in order
to listen to the full system. Uniden, GRE and Whistler all produce
radios for listening to this system. Unication also makes digital pagers
capable of monitoring P25 Phase 1 & II systems (I have one of these! Love
it!) This system started using Project 25 Phase I. Some talkgroups on this
system are now using Project 25 Phase II TDMA modulation which can ONLY be
monitored using a newer P25 Phase II compatible scanner. Some users may experience
issues trying to receive this system depending on their proximity to local
towers (read more below about Simulcast Distortion on P25 systems).
If you only have an older analog scanner, there is still an analog simulcast of Cayuga County Fire/EMS
dispatch that you can still receive on 453.41250 mhz. Onondaga County has Fire
analog simulcasted on 453.85 and EMS on 460.025 mhz.
