While in St. George last month I heard police radio traffic on 453.45 225.7 Hz. There is a license for State of Utah in Washington County, WQIU460.

Is anyone familiar with the user of this freq and tone? Thanks in advance.

It's one of many links associated with the Washington County "East Law" channel repeater on 155.610MHz/151.4Hz CTCSS repeater. This repeater has two different receive sites on the 154.80MHz input, differentiated by two different input tones.

453.450/225.7 relays all traffic taking place on the 155.610 channel.

458.450/218.1 relays any signal on the 154.80MHz East Law repeater input frequency, regardless of CTCSS.

458.750MHz relays only input signals using the 179.9Hz input tone.

To add to what seems like a pretty convoluted system, East Law traffic is also relayed on 151.050/151.4Hz.



This "East Law" channel is used by Hurricane (4X units) & Washington City (6X) PDs as well as State Parks (2A units) rangers at San Hollow & Quail Creek State Parks. All units do tx on the 154.80MHz input freq.

Never before have I come across such a mess, with 6 different frequencies in use to make a standard VHF repeater frequency pair function the way they want it to.
