I know they've moved to the Parker County P25 system, but I can't find any paging frequency.

Is their paging not being done over the air?

I have heard them paging on the P25 system, but also at times on 154.34 (The P25 system carries much farther out west, to Stephens County, where I occasionally spend time.). But it's been about a year since I've been through there, so maybe something else has changed.

The VHF channel heig posted is still being used for the initial dispatch of Fire and EMS calls in the county. Once dispatch is complete, everything moves to the P25 channel assignment.

Parker County Fire tone-out is on both the VHF P25 System,
TG 4107, and on 154.3400 PL162.2. Responds is on the VHF
P25 System TAC Channel 1 - 4. When toning out there is a
short delay between the VHF P25 System and 154.3400
Channel. Any questions just ask.

Hmmm... I've been monitoring for quite some time, and I'm just not hearing any activity on the old analog frequency.

Talkgroup 4107 has tons of "paging" activity, but I'm just not hearing anything on the VHF frequency.

Programmed it in my car and I was hearing plenty of things...


I guess my house just sits in a hole where I can't receive.

I double checked today and 154.3400 PL162.2 is still active
for tone-out and initial dispatch. The signal is weak in Azle
as I can only pick it up with a outside antenna up 50 feet, I
can pick up the P25 system on my handheld scanner inside
my house but the P25 system has more towers and 154.3400
is only on 1 tower west of Weatherford.

Hope that helps

I was picking it up clear as can be in my truck in downtown FW. Nothing at the house. Might try an antenna in the attic.
