They are licensed for three 2-watt simplex mobiles on that frequency. 2 watts on UHF mobile doesn't do much so you'd almost have to be in the same block to hear anything. Also makes you wonder if it's even used for radio comms since everything else they do is on VHF. Slap someone at radio shack upside the head.

Rat Shack is notorious for using really old information. A neighbor of mine bought a scanner a couple of months ago and the programed it for him. He wound up with the pre EDACS system programing for Ozaukee Co Low band an all. He even had the VHF and UHF for Milwaukee Co. Any one hazard a guess how long it has been since West Allis Fire was on UHF?
It's 3 radio systems ago.
Could the 460.350 bben used for PD on scene car-car comm's with the city of Madison & UW pre-trunking?
If I recall Shorewood Hills boarders Madison and the UW campus.

UHF? PD/FD were VHF since the 70's and I can't imagine it was UHF before that.

Maybe it would be due to Madison PD(used to be UHF), Capitol and UWPD that still are UHF? Possibly for their other radios that they had/have in their cars for the UHF depts? Their main channel is on Dane Sheriff which is VHF, but they work with Madison, UW and Capitol a lot due to it being right in the city of Madison.
Not sure

No offense, but I was referring to West Allis...see the quote I have in my last post.

I guess it helps to read once in a while before posting. Whoops.

Yep, WAFD had UHF and VHF before the VHF changes and then to the shared Greenfield/West Allis TRS then over to the Milwaukee Co TRS.
West Allis FD was a cutting edge type dept back then, First in the state and like third or fourth in the country with a Paramedic service.
I believe the UHF were the "Rescue" radios. when the VHF came in.
If my memory serves me right they had 153.86 as fire dispatch, 453.(escapes me) Rescue
and 155.61 for PD. In my pre-scanner days of VFO tuning you could set up right between 155.61 and 155.64 (Milwaukee PD Tac Sqd refered to a High Band) and then fine tune when there was action.
This isn't giving may age away, is it?

Wow, vehicular repeaters in Shorewood Hills? I didn't think the village was that big.
Mobile repeaters are nice but you would think they would be able to cover 95% with just simplex.
A conventional repeater would to the trick as well.

I thought that sounded a bit odd to me also. Especially when they only have a population of about 1500 people and other than dayshift usually just one police officer working.
That and they operate on the sheriff's dept channels
