MHP Frequencies for District 1 - Missoula Area

[NORCAL]

I've been monitoring the following frequencies listed in the RR databse for the MHP for several weeks: 154.6650, 154.8150, 154.6950, and 154.6000 MHz. I never hear anything. Does anyone know what are the correct Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) frequencies for District I - Missoula? Or are they using a digital vice analog?

You might try 154.9200; I have this listed as Missoula Local. Also, I don't know if you will hear anything, but I believe the Polson/Ronan area is dispatched off the Kalispell net on 154.7850.

Other than that, I would try the statewide interoperability system although I don't think it is up around the Missoula area yet...

Thanks for the feedback. Is the "Montana Statewide Interoperable Public Safety Radio System" considered a Motorola II system using the P-25 standard for digital communication?

154.665 is the Missoula dispatch (Mineral, Missoula, Ravalli, Granite counties)
154.815 is a repeater
154.695 is state car-car
154.600 is listed as state tac, but never used as such
154.920 is statewide, used mainly by the goon squad
154.785 is the Kalispell dispatch (Lincoln, Sanders, Lake, Flathead counties)

There have been rumors of Missoula traffic moving to digital, but I haven't been up there to verify.

Yes, that is correct.
