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
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.

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

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.

I am writing again about Johnston Fire I havent heard them in a while I have two scanners 1 analog 1 Digital Nothing
Hearing them loud and clear, TG 1616 (as listed above) from the North Zone on RISCON from here in Taunton, MA.
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
Is there a way to enter the talk group number
I am still having trouble with JFD . some one showed me the freq they are on but when I make the fav list I put JFD in when i finish progr it doesnt show with the freq that another person showed me. he gave me a scrreenshot of his but I cant get it. I have a sds100. any help appreciated
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.
