Benson/Cochise Cnty Area

[rk911]

greetings. i'm passing thru cochise county staying in benson for the weekend. i've programmed my 396T using the freqs i've found in the RR database but i'm not hearing any traffic from benson, the sheriff or the state police. i am getting some hits on the border patrol but the audio seems to be encrypted.

are the freqs for benson, cochise county and the state in the RR database correct?

Benson FD and PD are on the 155mhz freqs, but not a lot of activity, so not surprised there.

DPS - 406.425mhz (Dist 8) and 460.225mhz Statewide

Enter Mescal FD too

I was e-mailed these freqs, so try these out and let us know....Cochise Sheriff ...
- 155.835mhz / PL 100.0 - Interagency
- 155.04mhz / PL 114.8 - F1
- 155.655mhz / PL 167.9 - F2
- 153.815mhz / PL 141.3 - North TAC
- 153.815mhz / PL 151.4 - South TAC

well, shame on me for never following up on this. all i can say is that it completely slipped my mind.

i can confirm that the City of Benson operates on the following frequencies:

Police Ops: 151.115 P25 Sq Code 293
Police Ops: 159.075 P25 Sq Code 293

my gut tells me that one or both of these are repeaters since i'm hearing both sides. using a Pro-106 with just the rubber ducky antenna in a campground south of I-10.

the RR database shows 155.37 as the dispatch frequency but i've not heard or logged anything over the past week. back home in illinois 155.370 is a point-to-point intersystem frequency.

Fire Ops: 155.100 CTCSS Tone 110.9

the audio almost sounds like a remote base during tone outs. also hearing some but not all rigs.

i have not heard or logged any activity on 173.2375 (water dept), 453.4875 and 453.5875 (pd remotes) or 152.0075 (hospital paging).

Typo on the first frequency, it should be 460.425.
