Allegheny County Frequencies

[Benzman66]

I have been wondering why I never hear Carnegie, Bridgeville, Heidleberg, Collier, and other neighboring communities on the police channels. I have all the frequencies in and I rarely hear anything for these areas. I know most of the county/regional runs on repeaters, so that should not be an issue. Are they using MPTs, Nextels, etc?

Same goes for Etna, Sharpsburg, Blawnox, etc. Hear plenty of fire and ems, but never any police.

They are still active on the radio. Carnegie, Scott, and all the others are on County Southwest PD 1 460.500 PL 131.8.

The others are on Allegheny County North police frequencies. Check that you don't have the attenuator on those freqs, you have the right PL programmed, or check the antenna. I doubt the antenna as you can hear fire, but it doesn't hurt.
