This is a city-wide digital radio system that is being implemented. There have been many broadcasted coverage issues in the local media regarding this system. It is not monitorable by any radio scanner that is currently on the market.
Currently, just about all Milwaukee Police Department operations are on the system. The only MPD radio traffic that can be heard is is on 460.0250 (PL 91.5). This channel is used by MPD squads contact the City of Milwaukee Tow Desk and will probably go quiet once parking checkers are on the digital radio system.
The Milwaukee Fire Department and Milwaukee Department of Public Works are currently migrating over to the system. By the end of December, most front line MFD vehicles should be operating on OpenSky radio system. There should still be a VHF/OpenSky patch up for now (Until all vehicles install the new radios).
