I've been monitoring VHF and UHF frequencies for quite some time and I've like to submit several updates to the database. I'm a bit of a n00b, so I have no idea how to go about it, but I'd like to start a thread devoted to updating the Berrien County database page. The following frequencies/repeaters are what I've heard and, when possible, I've described what kind of chatter I've heard on each frequency/repeater. Format is [Output]/[Input] [Output Tone].
Government:
460.275/465.275 CTCSS 118.8 Hz - Berrien County Sheriff's Dept. - Infrequent activity, usually car-to-car or car-to-base law chatter. No dispatch or tactical transmissions.
453.900/458.900 DCS 205 - Listed as Berrien County EOC - Infrequent activity, usually non-EOC-related chatter. Not sure if the listed purpose is the actual use.
155.175 Simplex CTCSS 136.5 Hz - EMS non-dispatch chatter.
460.200/465.200 CTCSS 82.5 Hz - Benton Township Police - Infrequent activity, usually car-to-car law chatter. Rare tactical transmissions.
