correction to above re:King George,

More Freq's
I'm mainly interested in fire department activity, so I don't have a lot of law enforcement freq's for the Neck, but this is what I have
for fire departments:
King George Fire Dispatch: 155.760 [d412]
King George Fire Ops: 154.220 [d412]
Richmond County Fire: 45.240
Westmoreland Fire 1: 453.800
Westmoreland Fire 2: 453.7125
Westmoreland Fire 3: 453.4625
Northumberland Fire: 156.210
Mathews County Fire: 154.100 [167.9]
Lancaster County Fire: 155.745
Essex County Fire: 155.955
Please note that King George Fire Dispatch is on the same frequency as a statewide river gauge flood monitoring system. If you don't use the PL tone, there's a good chance you'll hear the data bursts that will cause you to go crazy!

VSP on Northern Neck
Any info on the freqs used by the Virginia State Police that work the Northern Neck. I tried stopping a couple of times by the VSP post in Warsaw, but no one was there - guess they are all working the road.
thanks

BoxAlarm187,
In reference to the Westmoreland County fire frequencies you posted, do you know what each frequency is used for? I think 453.7125 is dispatch. By the way, I believe all three use 107.2 for a tone.
Thanks,
Dave

I don't know about the Northern Neck, however VSP uses 4 different repeated frequencies across the state (actually 12 or 13 repeated channels, but the freq.'s are broke up by pl's).
If I recall correctly their dispatch office was closed or "consolidated" with another office which changed the channel they were previously using. VSP would be using one of the following repeated channels in the Northern Neck area:
159.000
159.165
159.135
158.985
Also try the following simplex channels: 154.665 (tac)
154.695 (survillence)

VSP in the Neck
For VSP activity in the Neck, monitor 158.985, PL 127.3. This is channel 2 on the old VSP Aerotron radios, and Channel 1-2 on the newer GE radios (1-2 denotes 1st Division, Channel 2).
VSP dispatchers have five repeaters that are used individually on this channel. For traffic related to the northern neck, they'll usually use the Burgess or Warsaw repeaters. Otherwise, most Channel 2 traffic is through the SPHQ repeater located in Chesterfield County.
Dispatchers for the Neck are located in the 1st Divsion Comm Center, located in Henrico County.
As for the consolidated comm center, the only was that has been closed was the small comm center in Melfa, which only handled traffic for the eastern shore (Nurthumberland and Accomac). This was shut down in the mid-90's, and dispatching for the Melfa area is now handled by the Chesapeake Comm Center.
Hope this helps...

Dave, I think you're right on both accounts. I have not had much opportunity to monitor Westmoreland due to distance, though. Let me check with a friend in the area, and I will verify.
Re: VSP in the Neck
Hey boxalarm,
Thanks for the correction on the Melfa office, I remember now that you posted it. You don't have a list of their new channel assignments, do you? I'd like to see them and make changes accordingly. Thanks

Let's all have a moment of silence in honor of Melfa, channel 13.
Their call was KIC825, and I managed to log them in mid 92 from Prince George county. Incidentally, towards the end, Melfa was only active on 7-3 and 3-11 shift, with area supervision advising Northampton and Accomack troopers and officers that on graveyard shift, they were "on their own". I can recall one or two instances when conditions favored that our channel 1 dispatchers handled traffic for the guys over "cross the water".
Channel 2 has a surprising coverage area, from Charles City all the way up to King George in the North, as far West asCaroline and East to Westmoreland, but most of their traffic is from North end Interstate 95 units.
Incidentally, along with the other repeater sites ("relays" to our dispatchers), there is one in Fredericksburg for Channel 2 as well.
As well, it is worth noting that Channel 2 serves as an alternate to Channel 1 users as needs may arise, and vice versa.
Gotta love Aerotron.....cos anything newer is just "too expensive" and "not really necessary or supportable"
If we can help you further, just drop us a line,

Well done, BoxAlarm187,
Only other locality covered by Ch 2 that I could think of would be that portion of Henrico County that is along I-295, though channel usage is very flexible when it comes to Henrico, owing to its' "dual citizenship" in both Area 8 and Area 1....but maybe this is splitting hairs TOO finely.
Just as a sidenote, the current word is to use the current freqs plus a few more VHF added for a new conventional digital VHF system until STARS materializes....and I thought i was in high cotton with my Delta Rangr back in the day. My Aerotron just can't compare.
Sorry for the lack of trunkage here, but this IS what it IS
hope this was at least entertaining,

In checking out the Westmoreland County page of the RR Database (link at top of this page), I see that their operation has gone P25 digital. If this is the case, you would need a digital scanner.
Hope this helps.
