I am trying to figure something out regarding this channel. Cumberland County is now on Open Sky, but they still patch their old low band fire frequency (46.06 with a tone of 97.4) to the Open Sky system. I know that the tone is correct because if I program the frequency with the tone, it works.
Here is my problem. I live in Perry County. Perry County's Fire channel 2 frequency is also 46.06, but it is CSQ (no tone).
I have Cumberland County Fire 1 (46.06 with a tone of 97.4) programmed into bank 1 of my BC125AT. I have the Perry Fire 2 channel (46.06 CSQ) programmed into bank 3, but have the CTCSS/DCS set to No Tone. According to the manual, this means that the scanner will only break squelch if there is NO tone detected.
On the way to work this morning, there was a fire call and I STILL heard it on both of those channels on my scanner. I am trying to determine how that is possible. I heard the call both on the channel in bank 1 that was programmed with a tone AND the channel in bank 3 that was set to No Tone.
I don't know if it has something to do with being patched to the OpenSky system? Or am i missing something?
