You can find the PL tones for both City and County here: Sacramento County, California (CA) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference.

thanks. I know where they are located.

Guess I should have said they are likely tone protected but we don't have that info in the DB. If someone has additional information regarding tones that are in use, please reply or submit to the database so I can update it.

Sac Metro Fire on 154.190 uses 162.2.

Guess I need to be a little more specific again. I'm talking about the ones without tones listed in the DB

Now I get it! And... I just realized your an admin. Now I really feel low! LOL!

I never gave those additional frequencies any thought given that they're migrating to P25. Given my past experiences when I was a professional radio programmer/installer, public safety agencies tend to stay with the same chosen PL for their department. Therefore, I would think 162.2, but one would need to spend time listening to the frequency before coming to that conclusion, obviously.

Though I'm in the greater Sacramento area, where I live, I wouldn't be able to listen from home anyway. I can try to keep an ear out during my commute then let you know.

However, if those frequencies are used for "mutual aid" or interop with other local agencies, then each might use their own CT frequency and all have their receivers set to CSQ.

I remember these frequencies being in place long before Sacramento County went 800MHz. Any current out-of-County mutual aid would run one of the registered V-Fires, I would think.

I don't know anymore... I may be wrong all the way around. Been a while since I last paid this close attention to Sacramento.

I'm just now starting to figure out my county... With the help of my wife! And I've been in radio a lot longer than she has! :lol:

It does. Can I ask the source of that information?

Because that looks like a mix of Sac Co and Sac City info that's already in the database.

I can confirm this cause i have sac county and sac city in my radio here in nevada and i pick them up fairly well using 162.2 hz
