grass fire activity / San Angelo area

[billpritjr]

Just an FYI that the following freqs have lots of activity

122.925 - Texas Forest Service (TFS) units talking air-to-air on this

159.330 - TFS repeater. Air units using this one alot ** by far this has most activity of all freqs I have listed here **

154.280 - Texas Fire-1 (I believe)

155.5875 - Tom Green SO, lots of evac and "notify residents" type of activity.

155.130 - UNK the "official" channel name, but appears to be a San Angelo area-wide Fire mutual aid repeater

155.445 - Texas DPS, some traffic control and other stuff.

Is this their dispatch channel? New?

We don't have this one in the database and I'd like to get further clarification on it's use so we could get it added.

Thanks!

I believe this is new, because for years (as in 20+) they have used 155.700. This appears to be a recent change, probably within the last 12 months. They are also running license plates and doing traffic stops on the channel also.
