Does anyone have a list of the tone frequencies for fire paging?

I have the approximate tones for Company 1 and Company 4.

Company 1: 570, 602 Hz
Company 4: 704, 602 Hz

The numbers could be slightly off, but they are close enough to set off Two-Tone Detect.

I have noticed that on the 156.195 they also use a 200+ CT sometimes on tone out. I had 6 different tones at one time such as 203.5. This would work well for volunteers who just want to hear only their station tones.

In checking my notes, I see I have written 2 PL (CT) tones for them 118.8 and 151.4: . My auto log shows both of these seen in the last couple weeks (and no others). I will live monitor to resolve (note of course some could be another jurisdiction).

I had them written down but I can't find them. It was 6 to 8 of them, all over 200 and less than 300.
I seen this pass week that Spotsylvania FD are switching to TA 1 and TA 2 which must be low power talkaround on site of the incident without encouragement from dispatch.

Those do not match anything I have seen--what frequency are you monitoring (156.195?) and what are you using to get the PL (CTSS)? I am using both a PSR-600 to decode and ComTekk Multi Decoder (Ver. 2.03).

At the moment I see no PL on the dispatcher on 156.195 and I have confirmed the equipment is working by looking at other frequencies of other services; for example, the Stafford repeater is showing 79.7--which is correct. And I see correct ones on other ham repeaters. I am rather certain there is no PL on the 156.195 at the moment. I am only 0.8 miles from the transmitter location. I am beginning to suspect there is no PL there at present and our measurements are bogus. Years ago they did use a PL of 136.5 (4Z) but I no longer see that. Unless they are still using the input there would seem to be no need for the repeater (but could for the convenience of those listening) ; as 146.195 is just a simulcast of 800 MHz. I am not convinced that out current measurements of a PL (CTSS) from them are not just bogus measurements as software looks for something hard that is simply not there.

I am using ProScan 11.2 with 996P2. On a Win10 with no other devices. It is not every nor all time tones, it seems to be just on toning out on originating call. I found it odd but I never actually checked anywhere because I haven't had tone problems on other sites.

Just a slight clarification on the list - EMS 3 would be more accurately described as an EMS Supervisor instead of a crew.

Understood but was using what they call him "EMS 3". Note I do not list any crew in the list by their designators and did not want to imply he was just such.
