Asheville fire tone out frequency

[INDY72]

To catch the tones they use, you will have to set the scanner for 5 Tone configuration, not sure if they do that automatically or not, and have it for Tone Out Search. I am not sure if Weaverville is toned out by Buncombe EOC, or does direct dispatching, or both. Been a few years since I was up in the area. ** The 2 Tones in the wiki must be the EOC tone out ones,.. Every other data says they are 5 tone.... Once they get paged out we will know lol**

Weaverville is using two tone and has been for a long time....not sure where you got your 5 tone info from.

I also wonder where you keep referencing the conventional 800 repeaters for Asheville...there do not use them for tone out and never have. The talk-around channel was once a direct NPSPAC channel but now a simplex frequency around 851 MHz that I don't recall right off the top of my head.

My guess for station alerting would be over MOSCAD, it's not done over call alert or two-tone.

The wiki states that Weaverville uses 5 Tone. And then it lists 2 Tone. Kinda confusing, so it needs clarified. When I lived in Asheville, Tones were sent out over the 800 MHz repeater when they dispatched. May have just been an single alert tone, but it was definitely an tone. At one point they had 4 800 MHz conventional repeater freqs, now they only have 2 licensed. There is not even an license for that 851 MHz one. This was in conjunction to the 4/5 beep alert APD used/uses for announcements on the TRS.

I have a feeling that the WIKI means is that Weaverville is using MOT tone "GROUP" 5. Not that it is a 5 tone paging system. As I remember the specific tones listed actually fall into the "Group 5" tone group. Confusing - you bet !

WNYE759

857.9875 RM

Both are Asheville Fire/Rescue. One is located on Peach Knob, other on Flat Top.
Both used the same DPL last I knew.

Then there is the Mobile Site:

WQOE926
854.9625 RM Very low power.

Yes, the repeaters on the mountain tops are high power, the mobile one is only like 6 watts for on scene comms.
