Licking County Fire VHF High

[ibagli]

Over the past few minutes, I've been hearing a lot of Licking County fire tones over what is reported as Tac 6 in the database (153.950, 241.8 PL). I've heard Granville, Hartford, Buckeye Lake, Glenford, National Trails, Heath Fire, and Hanover's tones so far. There's no voice, just about one or two tones every minute. They aren't going out on low band, so it isn't a (current) repeater or link.

I wonder if there's a change coming or if it's just something like a new tone encoder being tested on a frequency that won't set every pager in the county off.

They have been planning on getting the entire county off low band and onto VHF high so it's possible they're starting to work on that.
