Does anyone know if the Fort Detrick Fire Station has fire-out tones, and if so, what the tones are?
Co 50 units were dispatched this morning and I got a recording from the Frederick County Fire Dispatch Talk Group. I can't precisely measure the tones. I got tones around 350/2637 & 350/602 - if anyone has any tools for measuring these things in an MP3 file - I can send it your way, it doesn't allow me to attach an mp3.
Sorry, I don't - but curios, what system do you listen for them on? I've just gone through a reprogramming on my scanner and trying to decide if I should put the Fort Detrick site on the Joint National Capital Region system in my default scan list for the Frederick Area.
I monitor them on the JNCR system from the Fort Detrick site. It was the only site that registered any activity when I analyzed each site on my scanner so I set all the other sites to "avoid" when scanning. Most of the fire-tones are listed here:

All the Frederick fire-out "A tones" are 358.9 Hz, it's the "B" tones that vary.
Some of the tone sets listed in the above have no corresponding name in the accompanying table so I was wondering if one of the sets belongs to Fort Detrick.
Hey Joseph, I was the one to upload the station tones into the wiki and I will try my best to get the station 50 tones for you, and anyone else who wants them, within the next week when I have some time.Company 3 units were also sent on that call so that is probably the second one I listed. I don't know much about these tones, but, something like 2637. There are probably standards, so, something close to that. I'm just looking at an equalizer display in the MP3 player to come up with that. There seems to be an app for iOS that can tell you what the tones are if you play them to your phone, but I have an android.
