It appears as if, for whatever reason, Del City Fire Department has moved communications to the "old" MCFD channel 1.
Earlier this morning, Del City dispatched an EMS call on MCFD 1. At 7:00 they conducted a tone out test and radio checks between dispatch and apparatus.
I am going to make the change to my radios. While just using the frequency temporarily while their primary repeater was down would be easy since it is already in their radios for mutual aid, although I don't know, I have the feeling that using the station tone out feature would require reprogramming radios and pagers which wouldn't be done for a short term deal.
