The database is pretty lacking when it comes to this stuff, so I'm wondering if anyone has their own knowledge. I see this LTR system for the Road Department that has no talkgroups and hasn't had any updates since 2018. Recently, a frequency labeled "Linn Roads" was added under the Linn County Conventional page. I've personally never heard a single peep from either the LTR system or the new conventional frequency.

I've also never heard anything from any of the Public Works frequencies listed. About a year ago, I came across a random frequency (can't remember what it was, except that it was different from the APW frequency listed on the RRDB) that sounded like Public Works, but I never confirmed what it was. They were working on a manhole near Grand Prairie, I think.

And what about towing? I thought I saw a frequency for Roger's Towing in the FCC database a while ago, but now I can't find it for the life of me. I did find a couple of expired licenses for AA Towing, but nothing active. Does AA Towing even use radio communications these days?

I don't have DMR on any of my scanners, but I did have the Albany Transit System programmed at one point and heard some digital noise, so I assume it's still active. Does that frequency cover the city buses and/or anything else?

Any info on these or even stuff I haven't mentioned would be greatly appreciated.

And as a separate note, does Albany PD still use 153.815 in any capacity? I see the license is still active but the only activity I've ever heard was just a brief moment last year that sounded like a 8xx callsign with a motorolla beep at the end of the transmission. Don't remember what was said, I might have had a recording of it.

Edit: Found it.
