Jail Ops repeater was 151.1300(156.1125)[D244] under WQGF613, which expired in 2017.

156.1125 was then added to KSB298 by modification (file #0009543569) in May 2021, with NFM & DMR emissions.

The recent modification (file #0010138057) re-licenses 151.1300 for the jail repeater along with the new input; with NFM & P25 emissions.

I have yet to find any being used. The license expired in 2017 but they continued to use it for five years until the most recent modification.

At the court house, there are 2 UHF beams pointed to the Bluford and Boyd sites. The UHF frequencies are active anytime there is voice traffic on the VHF frequencies. Both VHF and UHF are DMR/Encrypted 100% with sheriff traffic, CC2, slot1. It is my understanding that the county fire departments will be on Slot2. No timetable though.

Can you monitor Roy Walker repeaters on 152.2775 and 152.2925?

Also, I've been trying to find the Good Samaritan frequencies for a while. The times I was in town I didn't hear anything on their old UHF frequencies that expired in 2011.

I assume Crossroads has to have some kind of communications too.

The Jefferson County Jail is still using the analog repeater. The Good Samaritan analog repeaters are still active, there is just not a lot of traffic. Several years ago I heard Crossroads on MURS (154.57).

Good Sam (SSM) Security (the old Protective Services) still uses 463.275 just as they have been doing since the late 70's. There isn't a great deal of traffic these days other than band alarms in OB. The office is located in the ER and that is where one will find most of the shift. Occasionally vertical patrols, grounds rounds, and off campus for deposits and/or offsite grounds rounds will generate some radio traffic. Nothing like the old days at the real Good Sam.
