Chester County P25

I was looking at the FCC licenses recently and it appears that Site 10.10 may be a 800MHz Countywide Simulcast cell and Site 30.30 may be a 700MHz Countywide Simulcast cell. Has anyone noticed this change when recieving the system? Or are the sites currenty East/Cent and West?

They are/have been licensed for more locations than have been confirmed to be in use. I'd say the DB as it currently stands listed is correct.

I will say when I'm in Oxford area the "west" 700 side comes in better and there are places where the 800 site does not come in. When I'm in KOP/Valley Forge its the opposite. So the database is correct. Interestingly enough there are parts of South Jersey in southeastern Gloucester County that receive both 700 and 800 sites.

Took a department vehicle down to Dover DE for a class one weekend, it was pretty quiet enough to the point where there wasnt any traffic on West Fire. Needless to say I found out that the West Simulcast reached to the DSFS in Dover loud and clear when the 1k tone went out at full volume for a EMS call.

I used to be able to get the VHF dispatch pretty consistently in the northeast part of the state until a few years ago. Nice to see the new system is juiced up as well. But I did notice when traveling that I’ll get this system to pick up for much longer distances than others in the area.

DEL State Fire School is great
