I'm trying to pare down my bank of old conventional frequencies along I-95 in Virginia. I don't drive that stretch often any more so I don't want to put in a bunch of trunked systems that get used for maybe 15-20 minutes at a time while driving through.
I note that a lot of them never have activity so I'd like to delete them from my scan list if they're no longer used. I just don't have a convenient way to note that while driving on suicidal I-95.
So: what is still actively used? To keep this list short I'm only listing the main or dispatch frequencies even if I have the tac channels also programmed. If one of the others is still used, please say so.
154.325 Prince William fire (still active)
154.175 Stafford fire
154.415 Fredericksburg fire
156.195 Spotsylvania fire
154.385 Caroline fire
154.16 Chesterfield fire (only hear Montgomery County, MD even way down there)
154.325 Colonial Heights fire
460.525 Petersburg fire (never hear anything)
453.5625 Prince George Co., VA (still active)
155.94 Dinwiddie fire analog
154.4375 Dinwiddie fire digital (still active--also heard their police on another freq)
154.2425 Sussex fire (maybe?)
154.34 Greensville fire (I think still active?)
I put these and a lot more in originally because they still appear in the RadRef database, but things have changed in recent years so there's no point scanning stuff that is dead now.
Any constructive input is appreciated as I have been asked by others for this info so lots of eyes are watching. Thanks!
