No kidding... I think I might be very, very wrong (again) about all that.. That would make more sense than Lancaster having two transmitters. But what I don't understand is why they would be licensed so close to each other. Odd... I will pay much closer attention to that frequency and report back. It MIGHT be a shared resource...

Edit: You're right. 136.5 IS Radnor (and my original records were correct). I'm not sure why I got all mixed up on this one. Still interesting that Lancaster also uses it in such close proximity.

Maybe you're thinking of 33.92 CSQ East Lampeter Township, PA FD. which is in Lancaster Co, and dispatches for the whole county apparently.
Thank you for the information about steering transmitters. Back in the 80s I used to hang out at a 911 dispatch center that handled calls for nearly a dozen agencies. This was before CAD and they had a Z-tron that would select the pager tones, frequencies and transmitter sites.

Yeah Zetron was a massive console manufacturer that was probably the largest competitor to Motorola in the fire service. They are still around, having gone through a few different owners, but with technology changes, not sure where their position in the market is.

Thanks for all the clarification on all this. My records are all skewed for some reason, and I recently found out that my FCC database search methods were not correct, and that there was a lot of information I wasn't seeing. I do this for a living, but all the frequency research/licensing stuff is always handled via frequency coordinators, so I never do this kinda research professionally.
