Hello everyone Question. I am actively trying to become a firefighter for the lexington fire department , but I am also a huge radio nerd , (literally) I'm already well aware that Lexington is on A P25 trunked digital system But I'm looking for the old VHF frequencies that they used before they changed over I've tried Google, but that's not helping So I'm curious if anybody has the full list of all of the old frequencies that was used by the Lexington fire department VHF

From the 2002 Police Call Radio Directory, looks like
"Lexington-Fayette County Govt"
154.37 dispatch, repeater output
153.77 repeater input fire stations listed with KWE4xx call signs
154.355 mobile only, KF3006 maybe fireground

KIH 560 is noted as "dispatch" and the license is still valid, FB2 250W ERP

Back in the good old days, our fire department (Okolona) also used 154.370. We would frequently hear Lexington to the point of annoyance. Fortunately we went with a CTCSS system to defeat that issue.

From what I was told a few years ago, LFD kept the 154.370 repeater in service so it could be patched to an assigned talkgroup in case neighboring counties without 800 MHz radios were called to assist. LFD isn’t exactly an enormous fire department, and if they get a major multiple alarm fire going, this would be pretty likely.
