Hey can we add Alamance County?
The only one im looking for is just Burlington Fire/EMS
Before anyone attacks me, im with burlington police explorers for about 6 years now, I know what system we have but we still have a pager sitting in our comm. room that we relay the call to our firefighters since they are on the 800MHz as police are.  soooo... no point of anyone bombarding down on me...
but back to the question, thats the only tones im looking for is Burlington Fire/EMS
This is all i see in the database for alamance county
http://www.radioreference.com/apps/d...s&code_id=1531
or here
Alamance County Fire Stations
1- Swepsonville #1
2- Altaamahaw Ossipee
3- Mebane
4- Haw River
5- Eli Whitney #1
6- Snow Camp
7- Faucette
8- Elon College
9- E.M. Holt
10- Swepsonville
11- Eli Whitney
12- Northeast Alamance
13- North Central
14- Graham
15- Burlington #1
19- E.M. Holt #2
Be great to know what the reed groups are for Burlington and county EMS

I split your post off from the original thread it was in and created a new thread. Please don't bump 3 year old threads unless you have new info to contribute in such an old thread.
Thanks for understanding and thanks for being a part of RR.com!

Back last summer EMS reprogrammed all their pagers so they could only page out the truck they were dispatching. There are 22 different groups now just for Alamance EMS. I don't have the group for Burlington fire.

 YES! a local.
well i go to commonwealth alot sometimes but i been trying to catch tim but hes usually at the danville office of commonwealth in virginia.
Yeah i know EMS changed frequencies and the pagers were changed, the only way i can get it is asked if i can get a pager read so i can obtain the tone frequencies.
I usually hear 102 and another truck get dispatched along with Burlington Fire, I do however was trying to ask the alamance live scanner admin watch the tones go off on the screen since i was told it will read out the frequency or something, but mm I cant really tell.
I dont even feel like buying that software everyone talks about "tried a trial, I dont know how to use it"

Randy,
I take it as this is Burlington only, correct?
I think you will soon see more of the Tone lists as more
Uniden BC346xt/BCD396xt users test out the Fire Tone Out decode
feature.
Thanks for all of your hard work!

These are Alamance Ems unit pagers. The Alamance comm center pages the Burlington comm center (651.9/553.9) on Burlington med calls so they can dispatch fire. Randy

OMG THANK YOU!!! you are GOD!!
I wonder which one I will need the most though... mmm burlington fire 351.9 and 553.9 is VHF or UHF?
"I know they are digital but that freq is for the VHF pager right?"
Mmmm when i put burlington fire's in... it only gives me 652.0/553.8

They call it "simulcasting"
The are transmitting on VHF and 800 simultaneously. Once they send the page tones over VHF to activate it, they transmit on both so that it can be heard on the pager and the 800 system.

no I dont think its simulcasting, Im usually in the communications room in burlington and once that pager goes off, its more of a relay the message and just put down the information that comes from ccom in Graham and then alert the fire department and rebroadcast but as you said simulcasting, i guess you are right but the broadcast from ccom is heard by burlington communications then rebroadcasted again for fire department.

Well, I cant speak for them.
I know here in Wilmington, EMS and Fire transmit on 4 different "systems" at once.
2 Analog 800MHz Motorola Trunking
1 Digital 800MHz P25 Motorola Trunking
2 VHF Transmitters on the same frequency (north and south side of county)
Therefore all traffic from dispatch on 800 is also transmitted on VHF so that it can be heard on the activated pagers.

The VHF isnt patched. The 800 MHz is.
The VHF is only transmitted from dispatch, so as the users can hear the initial dispatch call on their pagers.
However, once they receive the page, all further traffic is done over 800MHz.

Oh ok i see, none of our city fire fighters have pagers anyways so they just hear it once only and look through the laptop in the truck.
Guilford metro does that i believe and i can still listen to them
