Dunellen FD still dispatched on 151.400?

[Analogrules]

I was just going through my scanner channels and noticed I still have Dunellen FD programmed under that frequency. The DB is very unclear because first it says that Dunelken FD is dispatched on the Somerset County P25 system, however still shows 151.400 as an active frequency. Are they simulcast or is 151.400 deprecated and no one updated the db yet?

I haven't monitored 151.400 or 158.820 in a while, but they are totally on the Somerset P25 system under Fire Region 3. I believe the tones still go over 158.82. I'll give a listen later if they get a fire call and confirm this.

Ok. If the dispatch tones are on 158.820, then that frequency should be labled as "dispatch" in the DB and if 151.400 is no longer active, it should be marked as deprecated. I think I am slightly out of range to pick them up on my handheld from my location, but would like to have accurate info on the db for when I travel through there again. Snakeeater, please update the DB if you can confirm this. Thanks!

I can confirm that both channels are still operational. Heard a call go out about a half hour ago. Only dispatch. Operations are on the SC TRS.

Ok cool. Which frequency had the initial dispatch?

151.400 had the original dispatch first. But I changed it to 158 channel and it was also active. I think dispatch comes over both channels.

Thanks. Glad to hear some analog is still in use!

They are one of our mutual aid depts, they are definitely dispatched on 158.820 and then use fire region 3 or fire ops 3 on somerset counties TRS.
