155.7550 Buckner car to car - can't find FCC license

[conrad314]

Okay I have searched the FCC database for the call sign/license for 155.7550, and turned up nothing! I know for a fact the Buckner police use this frequency all the time for car to car talk. I picked it up with Closecall and have watched them talk on 155.7550.

Would like to know who holds the call sign. Can anyone help? I've gone to the FCC website, done Google searches, etc...nothing!

Now don't get confused, I'm not referring to 155.7750 which is licensed to Buckner but never used.

Okay Okay I know it's a small town and I'm probably the only person who's interested in getting the license info and submitting it to RR but your help is appreciated!

Thanks & 73's

Looks like the radio shop might have misread the license and programmed 7550 vs 7750 Happens all the time, usually not corrected until someone licenses the channels and then hears them.

Are you sure it's 155.755? The license free VCALL frequency is 155.7525, only 2.5 kHz away.

A public safety licensee can operate mobiles on the national interop channels without a separate license.
They are NOT license free.
155.7525 is VCALL10 not VCALL.

That would be my guess as well.

The 155.775 is used by the Clay county Park Rangers.....mainly around Smithville Lake, and to a lesser extent, around Tryst Falls and Rocky Hollow parks.

Even if the Buckner moved to it's licensed frequency, there probably wouldn't be a big interference problem, since there isn't much base station traffic on the Clay county side....mainly mobile and portable.

Have you noted a PL tone in use?

Before narrowbanding, the frequency 155.755 was not a valid frequency.......The closest ones assigned were 155.745 and 155.760.
Keeping this in mind, if you find the mid-point between these 2 frequencies, the new channel becomes 155.7525.
I would think that radio programming software would have error checking built in that would prevent an invalid frequency from being programmed into a radio.

I programmed in Jackson county this evening and overheard units 314 and 316 talking car to car on 155.7900....The streets they were chatting about were Tarsney Ln, Manor, and Echo Ridge, which appear to be on the south end of Buckner.

Do 314 and 316 sound like valid Buckner radio/badge numbers ?

I did hear 314 and 316 last night and I believe those are valid Buckner units. Looks like they wanted to find some drug dealer.

That is the first time I've heard the them chatter on the dispatch channel. Earlier in the evening they were chatting on 155.7550 and the same conversation on 155.7525 (I'm guess they were bleeding over from one or the other). I could not pick up a PL tone and they had to been using handhelds because the signal was so low and so close!

talkpair - You must have been closer than Holt to pickup the 314 & 316 cars correct?

I was actually here at home.

I use a fiberglass antenna that a tower climber had removed because of a tenant that quit paying rent.
I forget the exact model, but it's an Antenna Specialists VHF hi antenna.

While this might seem like something to be envious of, the problem with a higher gain base station antennas is that you begin to bring in co-channel users in distant cities that crush the mobiles and portables you couldn't hear before.........Additionally, if you don't have a CTCSS/DPL capable radio, your scanner is going to be stopping to receive transmissions of no interest.............A prime example of fixing one problem and creating two more......I guess there's really no substitute for putting the radio inside the area of interest.

The biggest obstacle to being line of sight with Buckner, are probably the Missouri River bluffs, but for some reason, there seems to be an opening for me in that direction, down toward Blue Springs, Grain Valley, and Oak Grove.

I probably can't help identifying the 155.7525 tone if they are using that frequency on hand held radios.
My 30 year old Regency M400 just won't program that frequency precisely, so any information I gather would be a guess.........I can pretty much assure you that I cannot pickup a hand held 25 miles away either.

Good luck.

I am envious of your free super gainer and the problems it brings! It is just another thing to play with and figure out
