Tone-Out Freq - Chesterfield & Richmond City

[DesotoFireflite]

Does anyone have a list of Tone-Out Freq's for the City Of Richmond and Chesterfield Fire Department. I would like to have them by Company if Possable, then broken down by unit if need be. Or is there a place where I can locate them. Thanks in Advance.

I don't think you'll find that for Richmond. There's no conventional fire simulcast, and the station alerting is done via a data TG over the trunked system.

If Chesterfield is still simulcasting over 154.16 (I haven't checked in a while) You may have better luck for them.

Yes Chesterfield still does simulcast on 154.160. As for a list of tone-out frequencies, good luck. I've never been able to find one. I'm sure there's a list at the Emergency Communications Center, but whether or not you could get your hands on one is the trick. If you buy a Uniden BCD396XT scanner, it has a decoder which decodes the tone out frequency. What I am slowly doing is decoding the frequency via the computer by hooking the scanner up to the computer and running a program called audacity that decodes the frequency of sounds (in this case, the toneout).

The City of Fire Department, Richmond MI does simulcat on 154.100. I am trying to find out the tone out freq. as well. Going to try to talk to our dispatcher and find out.

You'd probably have better luck measuring it for yourself using one of the many audio analysis tools such as Audacity. We have a PDF describing how to use Audacity linked in our wiki, along with other such analysis tools here... (go to the bottom)

I think we are talking about two different Richmonds. The city in question here is Richmond, VA.
