Clarke County has reconfigured their fire channels. It appears that the analog dispatch is the same 155.7225 now with NO PL tone. Channel 1 (dispatch) digital is: 155.07 NAC 351, Channel 3 is: 155.6925 NAC 351, and can anyone advise on channel 2?

Thank You, Earl

When I went to change my programming per your message, I observed that frequency 155.7825 (tone-151.4) was left on the page. Could that be your missing channel 2?

Perhaps. Although I believe it's P25 digital..... I'll watch it as well. If I get it figured out I'll let you know. TY

Does anyone know what the frequencies/system that the Sheriff is using?

I just watched a youtube video on Clarke County Sheriff, says they use VHF and added some DVRS,

In the video, you can see a Motorola mobile radio with CC LAW 1 being used with the VR". You can see the dispatch screen that shows there is LAW 1, LAW 2, FIRE 1, FIRE 2, CHANNEL 3, LOUDOUN FIRE, BACK UP, VA STATE SIRS, FREDERICK LE (at 1:30). Interesting video!

I've seen some old submissions that say 154.0475 is Sheriff 351 NAC Encrypted, but is listed only as fire now/

That's exactly correct. Fire ch 2 used to be SO 1, CCSO & Berryville PD are fully encrypted now.

What is correct? I'm asking what frequency CCSO and Berryville PD are operating on now. If it used to be the current Fire Ch 2, I'm assuming they moved somewhere. Thanks :)

I don't know honestly.... all is I know what the fire service did. I assume LE moved to one of the other Clarke County licensed frequencies. It was fully encrypted. I imagine it still is. I'm also guessing the mobile extenders as encrypted as well. 🙂

Some more information from the license.

The mobile extenders/DVRS frequencies are 159.195 and 158.9775, actually up to about 15W.

The 155.7225 is the only frequency licensed with pagers, possibly for Tone-Outs only???
There is another frequency 155.7825 with bases and mobiles. Another 154.0475 which may just be a fireground frequency.

Please see if we can find any tones, etc for these too, thanks!

154.0475 is fire 2 with a DPL of 351

Yes the fqy 155.7225 is patched to channel 1, the dispatch channel and used for paging. The tones are sent out on 155.7225 analog and alert the pagers & set off bells, siren, etc. The tones you reffer to are they the paging tones or the PL tones? The paging tones are on the Radio Ref wiki page.

OK, now you are saying 154.0475 Fire 2 is 351 DPL.... is this instead of 351 NAC, or are both used?
------------------
Sorry, I was looking for PL/DPL/NAC for the other frequencies that I listed:

So 155.7225 Fire Tone-Outs/Paging...... this is CSQ? no PL/DPL tone?

159.195, 158.9775 mobile extenders/DVRS, need the PL/DPL/NAC (may be multiple NACs)
155.7825 Base/Mobile is another listed on the FCC License, not listed on the page. Is it in use at all? And PL/DPL/NAC if it is.

I mistakenly wrote 154.0475, disregard that.
-----------------------------------
Is 39.54 still in use for SIRS

Please see attached png. These work...... however you can also set these up as a P25 single fqy system...... this actually is the better way to do it because you can configure that to work better and give more information. Each radio has it's own identifier and it will pop up "Engine 1" for example when engine one transmits. As far as 39.54 SIRS I have not heard anything on that. Having said that 154.28 is called METRO (CSQ) it is used in the greater DC Metro area for fire dispatch 9-1-1 center communications. It is not unusual in this area to hear "Clarke County to Loudoun County" etc.... It appears that all of those CCSO fqys are digitally encrypted 100%.
