New Emergency Radio System in McKean County is Operational
PA State Rep. Martin Causer
The McKean County Department of Emergency Services recently celebrated the official rollout of the new emergency radio communications system in the county. The county entered into a partnership with the state and joined the statewide radio network administered by the PA State Police. I was glad to join the McKean County Commissioners, DES personnel, PA State Police and county emergency responders at this event. Congratulations and thank you to everyone for all your hard work on this important project!

Blair Technology Solutions is now hosting a Broadcastify Radio Feed that will service the residents and visitors of McKean County.

In November the McKean County Department of Emergency Services cutover their main communications from Analog Motorola Radios to Digital P25 Motorola Radios, effectively making the radio coverage for local Police, Fire and EMS much better then before. However this change left many police and fire scanners unusable.
Blair Technology Solutions has purchased over $2000 in equipment to make a Radio Feed that residents can use to listen to see “where the sirens are going” and for local first responders to listen to incidents around the county without having to buy and program expensive digital scanners.
This feed is the only feed servicing McKean County that has the complete list of digital Fire and EMS Talk Groups and the remaining analog channels that will remain in use.
This feed is located in Bradford with line of sight to one of the county simulcast towers.
Please feel free to message me with any questions!
I am also offering digital scanner programming as it is now a bit more complicated.
