Unknown Frequencies

[lucas2121]

A couple days ago I had my scanner on a frequency search and and these frequencies came up and I have not been able to determine what they are. I am located in Madison County FYI

155.035? Sounded like PD radio traffic.
155.715/PL 127.3, I believe this is Elbert FD but am unsure scanatlanta said it was a White Co frequency.
I have all the surrounding county frequencies in my FD radio including what is listed as Elbert FD but I never here any chatter on it nor the nor the SO frequency.
If so can someone please give me the correct repeater output frequencies for Elbert Co it would be appreciated. Thank You.

155.035 does not exist in the state of GA. 155.0325 does. Most likely it was 155.040/Commerce City PD in Jackson county. 155.715 is indeed the city of Elberton FD frequency. In my years of going to Elbert county and the surrounding area, never captured a pl to go with the frequency. 155.715/PL 127.3 shows up here on RR to be White county FD.

WQKG972 - Elberton Fire Dept. license showing a repeater output on 156.240 (12.5 narrow-bandwidth) but don't know if it's in use yet.

Yes is listed, but do they still use the old repeater? It would make sense i it was I frequently pick up their new repeater on my FD radio on EMS main.
155.040 has to be Commerce PD I was hearing b/c it was a strong signal.
Thanks.
One more thing I still can't seem to figure out Elbert CO frequencies, you think I would be able to seeing as I live only a few miles from the county line.

Excuse my stupidity but how can you tell that info form that link to the FCC website, how did you find that out. Whenever I go to the FCC website and look for info I never find anything out.

For that license display, the "Frequencies" tab shows 156.240 as station class FB2 which is for a "mobile relay" or repeater/fixed base with 151.325 as the input. Clicking on 156.240 link shows the emissions designator as 11K2F3E which is for 12.5 khz bandwidth FM voice. They've only had the license for just over a year so I don't know if they are actually using it yet. The "Admin" tab shows they were sent a construction reminder letter in February. I hope that was what you were asking about. If I misunderstood, I apologize.

Ok, thanks. One more thing, how can you tell it's narrow band in reference to other counties not just Elbert.

Usually any of the VHF frequencies that have a "5" in the 4th digit to the right of the decimal will be a narrow-band channel (ex. 154.6575 for Lavonia PD.) For the ones with a "0" there, on the FCC's website you would have to look a the emissions designator for the licensed frequencies. The 20K0F3E ones are the current 25 kHz bandwidth channels. Just FYI, if it says 7K60FXE it's MOTOTRBO and 4K00F1E it would be NXDN (Kenwood's NEXEDGE, Icom's iDAS, etc.)

FWIW - Elbert County Fire used to be licensed for a repeater on 156.240, with the license coming back to the Emergency Management building. I believe the sheriffs department may have been handling county fire comms, and dispatchers I-Ded as "central." The repeater input on that license was 153.770 MHz.

The license expired in 2004, and was not renewed.

My logs include entries in 2003 and 2004. At that time, they were using a PL tone of 179.9 Hz.

hmm thank you I still don't here anything on any of their frequencies except EC-EMS, EC-SO, and EC-VFD...I'm not sure if it's them I'm listening to though b/c I often here fire calls dispatched off the EMS frequency.
