Hey All!
I went to the Brushy Mountain Apple Festival today.
I noticed that the North Wilkesboro Police were carrying ICOM VHF Radios
The rescue personnel were carrying both ICOM and XTS-2500 portables and Minitor VI pagers.
I stopped one of them and asked it they were using Viper and if they were still being dispatched on
155.280 Mhz. like before.
Well to my surprise he was very rude to me to say the least.
His reply was we are dispatched on their own private frequency. He wouldn't say what it was.
He did say they were operating on Viper and that was it.
I did have my scanner and was able to hear a hospital encode on the Wilkes General Hospital Talkgroup.
As I was leaving they did happen to dispatch a fire call that came across the Wilkes Fire Talkgroup.
Question is does anybody know what Ems and Rescue is dispatch on now?
I figure it is either on one of the following frequencies:
155.175 Mhz.
159.195 Mhz.
155.400 Mhz.
Just wanted confirmation and the correct PL Tones as well.
There was no ems or rescue dispatch to confirm same.
Also the Sheriff Department is still being dispatched across VHF and no Viper..
It is bad when one emergency worker snubs another emergency worker. I was very disappointed and a
little ticked off when I walked off.
Any help would greatly be appreciated
Thanks
David
