City of Hudson PD and FD

[nozzlenut83]

Hello,

Can anyone confirm the City of Hudson PD in Columbia County is still using 159.0900 (PL110.9) and 155.4900?

I have been monitoring both freqs in CSQ for several days now and haven't heard anything. I am less than 4mi from Hudson with no major obstructions. The FCC database lists the 159.0900 repeater as being at Columbia Memorial Hospital and I can clearly hear other stations (even portables) transmitting from that area.

Perhaps they moved to a UHF system? I noticed the FD is listed as using 2 UHF frequency pairs, which I also never hear anything on, but I believe they use them in simplex most of the time for fireground comms, as dispatching is done by the county on the low band system.

PS - I don't hear any activity going on in the City of Hudson on the CCSO freqs either.

Thanks,

Yes. They are still on that freq as far as I can tell. I'm only in Columbia Cty on the weekends but I do hear them on there. 159.090 with PL of 110.9. You can also do 155.490, no PL. The 800mhz plan has not been implemented yet as far as I can see, at least I can't get it with my PRO-97 in there.

Cheers.
