Montgomery County Fire Rescue question

[30319]

Does Montgomery County Fire/Rescue (Maryland) still simulcast on VHF 154.160? Thanks in advance!

Yes!
154.16 for dispatch and 153.95 for response are both simulcast from the trunked system.
PG also simulcasts dispatch/autocad dispatch on 155.685

Many thanks my friend!

And that signal gets out well, I can regularly hear it up here in the mountains of south central PA. About 75 miles.

When Montgomery went to their latest TRS they replaced the venerable 153.9500 with 150.9950 (which I think was the old TMC channel 1) as the simulcasted response channel. My mind still wants to hear those MODAT tones on 154.3550 and the data bursts before tone-outs on 154.1600.

Clearly you haven’t been listening to 153.95 in the last few years.
