I think the paging never left analog in crawford? I think Frederic Twp recently added their own fire and ems paging groups (4823/4824) and not just on Crawford EMS dispatch (4193)

They do have some goofy stuff going on at the moment since Roscommon is dispatching for Crawford in the middle of the night.

I've noticed 154.3700 very active paging lately an nothing coming across MPSCS. Montmorency seems to be doing same lately with Albert, Tri twp ems an fire. Oscoda Co has been back an forth using 154.995 an Mpscs also

Nothing has changed in Oscoda County. Montmorency is using 800 and analog paging. Hillman Fire/EMS is strictly 800. Oscoda County uses 800 Primary for law and their vhf for dead 800 spots. Just because one car has been using vhf more doesnt mean they are going back to vhf...

Roscommon does dispatch Crawford county starting at midnight. Soon GRCC will be dispatching Crawford County Full time.

Whats GRCC? Last I heard, they were looking into having MSP in Gaylord do it full time?

I do hear Frederic EMS paged out on 4824 into Kalkaska. I know crawford has the auto CAD dispatch to cell phones, not sure how that works. though.
