Delaware County Tones

[CommJunkie]

I have painstakingly made an excel sheet with about 98% of Delco's fire and ems tones. This sheet is for reference only for people with the capability to use them on their scanners. If you are a firefighter looking for your specific tones, I suggest getting them from a more reliable method, as my method involved some guesswork.

Great work. I pass through DelCo but never spend enough time to really get a strong hold of the comms. Which channel are the tone-outs on? The lowband freq? And are all dispatches voiced on this freq? I heard a while ago that some departments are using alphanumeric exclusively now. Also, are all dispatches voiced on the 500mhz freq labeled as "Dispatch?"

Dispatch on 46.48/CS and 508.2375/203.5 for all companies except Upper Darby Twp and Radnor.
For bldg fire in UD Twp, then Medic 103 will go->resulting a simul dispatch on the UD channel and the "Dispatch" freqs as listed above.
UD Dispatch 154.415/CS
Radnor & Medic 109 get dispatched on 33.90/136.5 only.

Some stations are not buying any tone pagers anymore now that the county has the alpha-numeric system. The county will still tone the station out though. The county states their "official" dispatching is done by tones.

I don't rely on the alphas that much. I refuse to give up my Minitor V.

UDFD also has all voice dispatches simulcast on their operating channel, which is Fire 10. No tones on Fire 10 though.

Once I figured out the pattern to the tones, it was just a matter of filling in the blanks. Gotta love the NCH tone generator too!
