Allegheny Co North - Sewickley / N Boros off VHF?

[jlinko]

Can anyone confirm that the police departments normally on 155.49 simplex and 155.01 repeated (Sewickley area and North Boros) are no longer on these channels? Rumor has it all have switched to UHF 495.0125?

Thanks.

Seems possible as they interfere with Beaver county Zn4's 151.010.

I can confirm that I heard 155.010 today. They have been simulcasting (cross patching?) 155.010 and 495.0125 for a while now. I would guess that they are still using 155.010. There is no way I could hear the input to 495.0125 (498.0125) here, so I can listen to the input to 155.010 and see if they are still using that. I have heard 155.490 being used by county recently as well.

I received information that the switch off of 155.49 occurred on August 1. All agencies except Avalon PD have reportedly also made the switch, which may explain the continued cross-patch on 155.01.

155.490 is now quiet. I have heard Lettsdale units doing radio checks in different locations checking out the coverage.

495.0125 is still being simulcast with 494.4125.

155.010 is still linked to 495.0125, Since it is being linked, its just easier to listen to 495.0125 no matter. 155.010 is very hard to hear in the south hills. 495.0125 has a better signal here.
