Cook County is using the new 152.0075 Paging channel, T167.9. I haven't confirmed if the the pagers are switched yet, or if the tones actually go out on that frequency.

When paging, the tones are still sent on the fire channel. The voice portion of the page is multicast on analog Fire Dispatch, the new Paging channel, and the Law Admin talkgroup.

Lake County appears to be using the old multicast Law system for paging. While in Two Harbors the other day I heard a page for Two Harbors Ambulance through the old Two Harbors Law channel.

This was of course also heard on TG 38013. I believe this is only a multi-select during paging. Acknowledgement by Two Harbors and subsequent traffic for the transfer I heard only on ARMER.

I copied nothing on 155.19 MHz. I only had a portable at the time so I was unable to confirm if the multicast was still in use or if things had been reconfigured.

I punched the frequency listed into the scanner, but I suspect I am too far to pick it up.

No dice. My proximity to the local pd repeater, and the local pd is only a few kc's away from the listed paging frequency, prevent that from happening.

NDRADIONUT,
I've been monitoring the 154.400 frequency, and Sauk Centre has been paged, so I believe that Stearns Co. Is indeed using that frequency. I'll try to figure out the Pl tone.

Stearns paging freq is 154.400 and the pl is 146.2 if they are still using it. After narrowbanding the VHF a lot are not transmitting the pl tones anymore such as Meeker Co.

St. Louis is no longer using 167.9 Hz for south paging (155.955 MHz). Unable to confirm yet if it has moved to CSQ, back to 131.8 Hz, or to a new tone.
