Falls County Texas - ????

[zerg90]

Anybody know what 154.40 is used for in Falls County Texas? It used to be licensed to Rural Fire District 1, but now it is licensed to Falls County EMS.

Rural Fire Prevention District 1 / Falls County is licensed for 154.37R 151.475in with 1 repeater and 150 mobiles. This is probably the countywide fire dispatch channel.

On the other hand (OTOH), Falls County EMS is licensed for 463.70R 464.85R 464.10R and 462.95R.

Anybody know how all of these pieces of the puzzle fit together?

Falls County

Regarding the 154.400 freq, it is still used by the VFD some. At one time there was some strange things going on in Falls Co. The Falls Co. EMS is a privately owned company, but has licenses under the Co. name. They use whatever they need or want to, but do not seem to get on the S.O. freq, unless absolutely needed. You'll find Falls Co. EMS is owned by Jim Lyons, and his name is on some of the Co. licenses for some reason. He is not a county official of any type. The EMS and VFD are good groups, but looks a little fishy on paper.

I don't live in area, so I can't confirm any of these frequencies.

Re: Falls CO.

Looks like you have all of them listed. Note the digital PL on the S.O. input freq. I believe it was instituted to keep volunteers etc from accessing the freq when those radios were too expensive or too few to buy...
