Dover Twp. Fire 7 PL Tone

[Joseph11]

This site lists Fire 7 as having a PL tone of 203.5 Hz, but on other sites I saw it says that the PL tone for Fire 7 is 250.3 Hz. Does anyone know the proper PL tone for Fire 7?

That's the old Police 2 frequency so maybe if someone here (hulka) has the info on the old Police 2 PL he can post it. I didn't have a scanner w/ PL/DPL when I lived in Dover so I never paid attention to it.

Fire-7 is the simplex of Fire-6 with the same PL. I had that posted but someone changed it all around. Same with Fire-5. It is the simplex of Fire-1 with the same DPL. Fire-2 is a fireground channel. The inspectors use channel 6. If 6 is down they would use channel 2 until 6 got back up.

155.220 is VHF EMS-5, NOT EMS-2. This channel is licensed to Silverton EMS. EMS-2 is 460.625 DPL 412.

That's what I had too, but the RRDatabase shows it as the old Police 2 frequency. Now I'm confused :lol:

The Pleasant Plains First Aid Squadhttp://www.ppfas.org/frequencies.php lists 155.655 MHz as Fire 7, but basically everyone else says 154.815 MHz is Fire 7. I need the PL tone for 154.815 MHz, not 155.655 MHz. Hulka, if you can, please post a list of the accurate frequencies, PL tones, and DPL codes for Dover Township Fire and EMS.

I just did. Look 2 post up.

Thanks for that, do you have a PL tone for 154.815 MHz? Also, are there any more VHF EMS frequencies that Dover Township uses? If so, please post them.

Hulka,

Does Dover Twp. fire use 154.815 at all ? Also, I show 154.145 Simplex as Fire 4. Fire 5 as 154.165 (MedEvac LZ coordination). You say 460.625 DPL 412 is EMS 2. That's the dispatch frequency, which should be EMS 1. Is EMS2 460.625 Simplex ?

Apparently some of us have differing information here so it really would be beneficial to all of us if you could just list each frequency for fire & EMS, along with the correct channel number and PL/DPL, according to your information. This going back and forth from post to post, with questions and answers is a bit confusing and not very comprehensive, whereas a list would make it all clear and precise, and eliminate further questions. Your help would be greatly appreciated by all.

 

[Joseph11]

DJ88, your list is all wrong. Here is the proper list:

460.625 - EMS-1 (Dispatch and Operations) - DPL 412
460.625 - EMS-2 (Talk Around) - DPL 412
460.562 - EMS-3 - DPL 245
460.587 - EMS-4 - DPL 245
460.637 - EMS-5 - DPL 245
155.220 - VHF EMS-5 - PL 186.2 Hz
460.550 - OEM (OEM Dispatch & Operations) - PL 114.8 Hz
154.145 - Fire-1 (Dispatch and Operations) - DPL 245
154.445 - Fire-2 (Fire Ground 2) - DPL 624
154.190 - Fire-3 (Fire Ground 3) - PL 136.5 Hz
154.265 - Fire-4 (South Jersey Fire-Net Statewide Mutual Aid) - CSQ
154.145 - Fire-5 (Fire 1 Non-Repeater (Talk Around)) - DPL 245
155.655 - Fire-6 (Fire 6 Bureau of Fire Prevention) - PL 114.8 Hz
155.655 - Fire-7 (Fire-6 Non Repeater (Talk Around)) - PL 114.8 Hz

NOTE: Program the Dover Township Fire Frequencies with DPL codes in CSQ mode, or you'll miss transmissions.

Since I live right by Dover Township, I can confirm that all those DPL codes and PL tones are correct. Is there anything missing or wrong with this list?

As for 154.815 MHz still being used, I don't think so. I just want to program it in my scanner in case it starts being used again. Without a PL tone with it, I hear something else with a 114.8 Hz PL tone.

EDIT: Added frequencies from Hulka's post.

****NOTE***** This is from my Pro-96. I do not have Fire-5, Fire-7 & EMS-2 because they are just simplex channels. All the PL/DPL are correct.

 

[Joseph11]

Thanks, I'll update my list with your information. Should I submit this to the RR Database now?

EDIT: The Dover Township dispatcher just said that Motorola is doing some work on Fire-1, and that they should use "Fire Backup" if needed. What channel is "Fire Backup"?

EDIT 2: I just heard a dispatch for a fire at East Dover Elementary. It was on Fire-1 and I noticed something new. The voice quality is much better and the DPL code didn't fade in and out, it stayed on throughout the whole transmission.

EDIT 3: Motorola is still working on Fire-1, Dover Township is using a backup system on the Fire-1 frequency.

 

[DJ88]

Good question about the fire back up channel. Some time ago there was an article in the Press about a fire at a condo complex in Dover Twp. Fire Departments were hit out on the dispatch frequency/channel but for some reason pagers did not activate, and when someone finally realized this, it said they went to the "fire back up channel" to activate the pagers. Due to this delay, the fire got out of control and caused extensive damage.

BTW, my list isn't 'ALL WRONG', although there were a few errors in it. It's one that came from the old LISR site, posted by someone who lives in Dover Twp. Don't shoot me, I''m just the messenger. :roll:

 

[Joseph11]

The fire back-up channel may be 458.9625 MHz with a PL tone of 103.5 Hz. I'm not sure, though. Let me correct myself: "DJ88, your list is incorrect". I didn't mean it as an insult, anyway.

 

[Joseph11]

The testing on Fire-1 is done, they're using the regular system. I wish they would have stayed on the back-up system, the DPL fades in and out now and the voice quality is terrible.

 

[DJ88]

I'm up here in Brick and just heard a dispatch on my 785D for Station 28 for structure fire and it is coming in perfectly, both dispatch and the units. Sounds like the guys are right in my back yard.

Is it stronger than it used to be?

 

[DJ88]

It has always come in real good here. I don't really notice much difference.

Does the audio sound distorted in Brick? I know here in Beachwood whenever the dispatcher talks the audio is very distorted.

 

[hulka]

Fire Back up is the same chanel as Fire-1. Just diffrent input. If you want to submit it go ahead. I am tired of submitting things for Dover Twp. to have someone change it a week later. All the stuff I posted before is correct. 154.815 is not used.

 

[hulka]

Sorry, I am 3 hours behind you guys from my posting time, tire and just got home from work.

Joseph 11 think about what you said here,

The fire back-up channel may be 458.9625 MHz with a PL tone of 103.5 Hz. I'm not sure, though.

If the pagers are on 154.145 how can the 458.9625 be the back up channel???????????? Stop rushing to conclusions and think about it.
