4235 and 4240 appear to be patches to the 5 City System...

Lorain Police 4235 I hear periodically on the 5 City along with their VHF channel...
Lorain Fire 4240 so far appears to hit the 5 City everytime I hear them on their VHF channel...

4700 is driving me crazy... Not really sure how this TGID is assigned... There are several entitys i've heard using it...

As was said, it's patched to the 154.370 county fire/123.0 CTCSS. Several dept's use it.

Just heard a new TGID 4165...
It appears to be fire related... Did not catch who though...
Since I'm not logging at the moment I did see 3 RID/UID's but was only able to catch 2 of them watching the scanner...
RID/UID 4711113 and 4711171...

I was hearing a lot of activity on 4063 too last night...
I also noticed 4700 is starting to see more activity also...

I'm going to say this here now also. The tauted Amherst site is on the air. But it's on a tower that is not on the license anywhere, nor is there a note for an application/change. There's a site listed along SR113 in South Amherst, but there's no tower there anymore. The RF is coming from much further north...

You talking about the one that's in a wooded area that you could see from Quarry rd kind of?

I'd rather not say in writing...
Oh, you mean the S. Amherst site? Probably. I know you used to be able to see the tower that used to exist from 113 and Baumhart, but it's not there anymore. I know it was a very old tower left over from the old Lorain Electronics/WMI days.
I think there's a cell tower in the area, but that's not it.

It's licensed.

The site it is operating from is not. I verified this.
This is the license for that system: ULS License - Trunked Public Safety 700 MHz License - WRFG876 - AVON, CITY OF
Two sites were added last year. Neither of them is online. Where the RF is being generated is from a site that does not appear on that license.

Then by all means let us know where this secret site is. I'm sure it is not really a secret other than in your own mind. I've got low confidence in your assessment of where the site is given it isn't licensed and you won't cough it up.
