Atac Red Waukesha County fire

[downtimezap]

Could anyone tell me what talk group Atac Red is in Waukesha County

8TAC RED the frequency is 851.450 and it’s a simplex frequency that most fire departments switch to at structure fires or larger scale events but some departments will repeat it into one of there Tac talk groups, it being a simplex frequency you have to be close by in order to hear it

You're going to have to be pretty much on top of the incident to hear anything. If you're more than a mile away you'll be lucky to hear it.

OP asked how to set this up in their scanner not the merits of 800mhz range........

It wasn't a dig on the 800mhz range. I was simply stating that unless you're on top of the incident you very likely won't hear it since it's a simplex channel.
