MontCo CAP Codes
This is probably the wrong place to post this (please forgive me - Im the new guy around here and its my first post)
I live in Montgomery County, PA. and am looking for "Cap codes" for a fire company pager and some software to program it. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Montgomery County uses the following CAP code format:
For fire companies with station IDs less than 100: 10xx005 where xx is the station number
For fire companies with station IDs greater than 99: 11xxx05 where xxx is the station number
Examples:
Willow Grove - Station 10 - 1010005
Hatboro - Station 95 = 1095005
Noristown - Station 27 = 1027005
Abington - Station 100 = 1110005
Weldon - Station 300 = 1130005
Ambulance companies use the format 0xxx005 where xxx is the station number.
Examples:
Second Alarmers - Station 353 = 0353005
Plymouth Community Ambulance - 308 = 0308005
There are 4 "slots" in every cap code these are:
Slot 1 = Fire, Slot 2 = Officers, Slot 3 = Fire Police, and Slot 4 = QRS
Montgomery County PA operates on a frequency of 154.0250 at 1200 baud.
Hope this helps.
BTW, you can find a complete list of station numbers can be found on the MontCo EDS web site
