Montgomery & Fulton Counties - Question

[LathamScan]

Two weeks ago I was out in Montgomery County and I brought my BCD996T along. I came across 158.910 MHz. with a digital signal. I think it was MotoTRBO because I couldn't decode it with the 996T. I know Fulton County has a license for that channel but I'm not sure if it was them. Are they using MotoTRBO now for some of their operations? I also logged 151.3475 MHz. as well, which I think is Montgomery County Jail, also using MotoTRBO or some other type of digital system.

Another one was 155.910 MHz. with a CTCSS of 114.8 Hz. It sounded like law enforcement car to car communications. I was receiving Greene County Sheriff's on this channel as well but with a CTCSS of 123.0 Hz.

I believe you will find that 158.910 is Fulton County Corrections - analog.
155.91 is used as a car to car freq. in Johnstown, also analog.
To my knowledge there is no MOTOTRBO in use here in Fulton County...yet.
Schoharie county was supposedly getting some TRBO radios.

To my knowledge there is no MOTOTRBO in use here in Fulton County...yet.

My sources tell me it is highly unlikely that we will see any upgrades beyond NB conventional in the public sector for many years to come in Fulton County.
