Noticed the other day a new addition to Boonton, a fireground channel
of 463.825. Now today I notice that that freq has been removed. What's
up??

From what I can tell, it sound like Boonton's 46.42 base is linked to the GMRS repeater.

I stand corrected, Robbinsj2 is correct. A while back the 46.42 was linked to a GMRS channel. That new frequency is a business band channel.
Still, using a business band repeater for FD use?

Anyone know?

res148cue said:It appears that when the aparatus transmit over the county fireband it goes over the UHF as well. Not sure if it's vice versa too. The fireband is simplex.
Apparently they had a problem with the tones going out. They mentioned Boonton Twp. but I don't know why since they are dispatched by the county.

THere must be a problem on the Boonton Twp. side with the new radio setup. On fire calls town is dispatching twp.
