Talbot Co. fire pager reprogramming

Anyone have any insight on the Talbot County fire pager reprogramming due to take place tomorrow? I've seen signs up at the firehouse and heard an announcement during the regular 6pm status broadcast, but no further details.

Is it just me, or has the Talbot County VHF dispatch/pager channel (159.0150) gone offline?

Normally my PRO96 has that programmed as the priority channel, so I'd typically hear the tones and VHF dispatch, then hear it repeated on the trunked system. Right now I'm getting dispatches from the trunked system only.

After some searching it appears the VHF pager/dispatch frequency has been moved from 159.0150 to 159.1800MHz. I've submitted an update request to the RR DB.

Just a reminder - we are no longer storing FTOs in the database. This information should be stored in the wiki, in the following article...

and you don't need a Uniden DMA scanner to find out what the tones are. Here is an article that should help out with those who would want to pitch in and find this information...
