Montgomery County Paging

When I am driving through this area, I have this programmed in the scanner. I hear quite a bit of traffic but do not seem to hear much on that frequency. I guess if you have a extra slot, monitor it to see what happens.
I think VHF is deprecated. I've only heard paging on UHF unless I'm missing something.

The western end of Montgomery County. So 453.3125 and the VHF frequency broadcast the same exact info?

Yes. Anything that comes across Fire Rescue 1 (UHF 453.3125) is also heard on VHF 156.165.
Thanks, I will try another scanner and location. No luck with it thus far.
As an update, I receive 156.165 here and there, but not consistently. Does VHF seem to work in certain parts of the county? UHF Fire/Rescue 1 is excellent here.
I'm curious how fire and EMS pagers are configured here as well.

156.165 transmits from a single site in the SE part of the county. Reception could be spotty around Blacksburg.
That explains it. UHF coverage is excellent basically everywhere I've been. I will probably take VHF out altogether.

That would be logical. It is literally a multi-cast of the UHF. You won't miss anything. 
Do you monitor Montgomery regularly? I heard an "Event" channel mentioned that I don't see in the database.That would be logical. It is literally a multi-cast of the UHF. You won't miss anything.
I believe it was a rescue member telling another member to switch to "Event 9."
