I’m wondering if anyone would be able to help me find the correct department specific tone for my pager. I need to find the tone for a specific Chester County PA fire department, the frequency on which that department operates is 159.735 but there are other ChesCo departments on that frequency and I’m wondering if anyone can tell me how to find the tone for a specific department or knows of or has a list of such tones. Thanks!

You do realize 159.735 is the rebroadcast of Central and East Fire Response talk groups. What are you really asking for?

OP is asking for pager tones as heard on 160.185. Station 69 (Twin Valley) was established after a merger between the old Friendship Fire of Morgantown (Station 9) and Elverson (Station 32) . Quite possible they're using Station 9 and/or 32 tones as they're listed in the wiki but as previously suggested to the OP, best to check with chief officer if a member there versus heeding advice given on a hobbyist forum

One could always record a tone out on the desired freq and play it back thru something like pano tuner or any other similar app that displays the hz of tones it hears. Do you have a scanner and if so, which one? Some have a feature for tones.

I know how Chester County is set up. I have 69 and 89 in my pager. It seemed like he didn't understand how the fire radios work (dispatch, response, etc.) in Chester County focusing on 159.735 and not understanding its use.
