Does anyone know the frequency to the Bentonville schools district. All I see is the transportation school buses. Only one frequency is listed and I was listening to it today and I hard to them tell one of the bus drivers to switch to channel two to tell him something which I do not know the frequency to so they must have more than one frequency. Any help will be appreciate it. It any one know any at the other schools frequencies that be cool like Bentonville high School.

they were in the FCC database listed for the schools.
How do I find the digital dmr pl tone for the other frequency that listed for the school bus. I found when I look it up on FCC but it doesn't list the digital dmr pl tone.

I just think it fun and I enjoy it. I also like to listen to business when I find them but I only know what on the website.

It won't on the FCC; that's just the license for the frequencies and emission type(s).

To find them, you enter them in your scanner and run it in search mode for the CC/TG on DMR. Keep in mind DMR has two slots so the freq could be the same for 'channel 2' and just be programmed for the other slot.

Feel free to submit them to the database under Benton County when you determine what CC/Slot/TG (s) they're using.

I use to live across from a school. Radio traffic from the scanner was fantastic reminder without having to look at a clock that the street was about to be heavily congested. It was handy when I was working on a project and would lose track of time.

when my kids found out i could listen to their busses, they said they would be good so their names would not be used on the radio.
then i told them i could also hear their schools, and they were less enthused.
they were good kids anyway.
one morning i was just going to turn to the onramp to rt 75 and a a bus driver said the highway was closed.
i made a harder turn and took rt41 up to work and was only minutes late.
it usually took me an hour to drive to work so everyone wanted to know how i got around it.
the word was "scanner".

If you find out what channel 2 is for the school bus transportation let me know. I have the main channel and they tell driver to switch the channel 2 sometimes which I do not have. It be nice to find out the schools but I don't live in Bentonville. I live in Springdale and work in Bentonville. So I listened to the buses on my way to work and I can pick up the buses at my house. I'm not for sure about the school like Bentonville high School. I'm still trying to figure out what I can find but no luck so far.

When they say that, turn on close call mode and see if you hear anything.

It could also be that “channel 2” is encrypted which you won’t be able to receive. I’m not saying it is but just a possibility.

I found out what the Bentonville high School radio frequency is. The frequency is 451.83750 but I have it set to no PL tone because I don't know the PL tone or the repeater so I can pick it up a lot further or if I'm close by. I can barely hear them from my house but it comes in static but if I had the repeater I probably could pick them up a lot further and clear. Any help will be appreciated thanks.

Did you find a PL or DPL? Most scanners can be set to search for that. If you do,make submission to the database, please.

No I never found it and plus I was using it as radio to radio with no PL tone because I have no scanner only a two-way radio. So I was looking for help finding the PL tone and the repeater that goes with that frequency that I listed above.
