It's the input to the 154.325 dispatch repeater.

But this post from Winter 2017 says that's when they quit simulcasting the dispatch talkgroup on VHF. Is it still in use for voice dispatch?

I labeled it in my scanner as DEAD, but left it in just in case it's still used. I only pass through Alachua so I don't want to put in the whole trunked system if I can just listen to one VHF conventional freq to hear voice fire dispatches.

TNX.

154.325 is still in use and for the past 6 months 154.445 has been simulcasting it.

Is it in use with speech or just paging tones? TNX.

Tones and computer voice.

Must have been a fairly decent band opening. That antenna is pretty low on a short tower and transmitting at low power.

There's something about north and central Florida on high band. I remember many times flying down I-95 between Melbourne and Jax listening to my PRO-2006 scanner go crazy stopping on just about every high band fire channel, in the evenings especially. No PL decoder so I heard it all whether I wanted to or not. I occasionally heard Palm Beach County dispatch on 154.355 from around Titusville on south.
