What else are you looking for?

There seems to be 2 channels 3's in Monroe county now. The one you know about Dave on 154.385 and also 156.1875 which once was St Paul FD channel.

It sounds to me like St. Paul is repeating Channel 3 on their own frequency.

Seems to me in what I have been listening to, is the the old StPaulFd channel on 156.1875 is Ch3 for the west side and Penfield FD channel on 151.3325 is Ch3 for the east side.

St Paul might be providing coverage for Irondequoit. It's difficult to serve the large semicircles that are defined as "east" and "west" from any single site.

I think maybe Monroe County should do some testing with a setup like the counties along the Hudson River use. Put the "east" sites on the west side of the Genesee with directional arrays and put the "west" sites east of the Genesee. That leaves the Ridge as a potential problem requiring an additional solution.

It sounds like St Paul has patch capability on their console to patch Ch3 audio to their 156.1875 base.

It seems to be a patch rather than a repeater since it does not key up immediately and about the first second of each transmission on Ch3 does not get repeated. I don't understand the comment about "west side" since the Monroe County west side batallions (2 and 4) use Ch 4 and I hear only Ch 3 (batallion 1 and 3) units on this patch.

Ok lets put this to rest.

All of Monroe Counties Fire Channels are NON REPEATED. Monroe County utilizes a Multi Site Receiver System.

What I am assuming you are hearing is a patch that St. Paul has set up for some reason. I guess I don't understand why they are using a patch because they have a receiver site in Irondequoit but that is what it has to be.

W2CSX: I am guessing you are the one who submitted the change to the admins about the transmit frequency for channel 3 a few weeks ago. I am the one who changed it back because it wasn't true. Being very active in the communications system for Monroe County within my own department and have gone to many communications meetings in the county feel free to ask me any questions via private message or on this particular forum.

Hope this helps a bit. If for some reason I am not enough proof that channel 3 is not a repeater I can bring my department portable and mobile to you and show you the programming via Motorola CPS and the transmit and receive frequency for channel 3 are the same.

St Paul has a battalion wide (6 site, growing to 7) repeater system using Fire 3 as the input to facilitate communications while responding to an incident. Scene communications are still direct using Fire 3 simplex. A common problem was enroute apparatus could not hear on-scene portables. As a side effect, they can also hear when another agency is talking to the dispatcher, so they do not attempt to contact them at the same time.

Hope that clears that up...
