Somerset County on Cambria Fire

I was wondering why Somerset is making dispatches on Cambria Fire (453.225). The signal isn't very strong coming from Somerset. Any info would be appreciated.

could be cambria has a patch to 33.70 and could be inadvertly rebroadcasting somerset.

Nobody in western pa using 33.70 uses PL

FYI: Somerset County began using PL 192.8 on 33.70 and all of their operation frequencies about 2 years ago.

As for the rebroadcast it is being investigated, at this point it is believed that a mobile crossband repeater has been left turned on. So far it's been determined that the signal is originating north of State Route 30.

Thanks Dan. I heard something the other day about a crossband repeater when Jerome had a call, but just wanted to see what was up.
