Greene County is still broadcasting dispatches on 39MHz. Can’t think of the exact frequency off the top of my head.

Does the state forest service use low band?

Thanks for the replies.

I don't believe they do. I remember I bought a lot of Motorola X-9000's from the Mt. Holly District Office.

I know the former radio engineer for DOT and said that they had no plans for DOT to switch to Viper.

Last time we met at his office he had tons of Kenwood Low Band portables and a couple of old Micor Low Band base stations as well.

I will try and find out about the forestry service.

Nope, all phased out.

Does anybody know if Greene County is still using 39.980 Mhz.

I know that since the county migrated to a Paramedic level service.

All the fire departments that were operating at the Advanced (Intermediate) EMT level have dropped that and went to First Responders.

Let me know

Thanks
