Johnston Fire

[jnardo]

Can anyone tell me the new frequency that Johnston Fire went to? I know it is in the 800s and it is trunked

 

[W1KNE]

Just heard them loud and clear on 154.1750 203.5 here in Mass.

You are right I just heard them. 4or5 weeks ago the rescue went to my brothers . While they were there I asked them why I wasnt hearing them anymore and they said the freq had changed. I called the fire department and was told by a deputy chief they went to 800 mhz trunked

 

[W1KNE]

They may be on RISCON now, on an UNID'ed TG. (Maybe running encrypted on RISCON, hence the UNID).
The VHF may be a TRS simulcast only now. I did notice the 159.42 D351 has been silent lately.

I have noticed hearing them on one of their marked FG channels today. Haven't heard them on RISCON lately. Will monitor.

 

[dpincins]

Hearing Johnston operate on 154.1750. Responding to trees down and whatnot.

 

[tvengr]

There is a fire talkgroup on RISCON and it shows open.

I am hearing them again also. But the deputy chief I spoke to said they are going to 800mhz channels an trunked

Sorry but I dont know what that means that its open. Obviously you can tell I am new at this

 

[dpincins]

Johnston went out for a call and companies switched to fire ground. Heard them on 159.4200. Nothing on 800Mhz channel.

I’m pretty sure they were testing it out, or their Analog channel was down. They are back to using the old frequency.

All of a sudden I cant get JFD . Does any one know if they have changed

 

[ecps92]

Johnston moved to RISCON do you have that programmed with the correct TG's ?

Not sure if you already have this information: Try:

Talkgroup 1616

I am writing again about Johnston Fire I havent heard them in a while I have two scanners 1 analog 1 Digital Nothing

 

[W1KNE]

Hearing them loud and clear, TG 1616 (as listed above) from the North Zone on RISCON from here in Taunton, MA.

 

[W1KNE]

For what it's worth, the station alerting 155.7000 PL 241.8 is still active and I just heard them dispatched out on that.

Thank You for the info. I am a little confused though. You are showing me this screen shot and it is showing Johnston Fire on 853.687500. When I downloaded Johnston it was 154.1750

The Johnston Fire is on the Riscon trunk system in the North zone. Cranston Fire is also on the North zone. You need to program the RISCON North zone into your scanner.
