OKC Fire Mutual Aid Channel 4 (VHF)

[woodyrr]

Has anybody heard anything out of the OKC Fire VHF Channel 4 (153.890 / 153.950)

Today Midwest City Fire was training and they said that they would be on channels 4 and 1. I never heard anything on the mutual-aid repeater. I must have locked channel 4 out of my scanner some time ago because EDACS Fire TAC 4 was being broadcast over it for a while.

OCFD mutual aid channel was 453.300.

The frequencies you listed are from OCPD.

This is a story about gazintas and gazoutas. For those who didn't know this. If a fire dept. transmitted in (gazintas) on 153.950, the signal got repeated (Gazoutas) on 153.890 AND 453.350. If an OCFD truck or Handheld transmitted on the rpt input (gazintas) 458.300, it would come back out (gazoutas) on 453.300 AND 153.890. Quite ingenious, but the Uberpatches on the Ma/Com system will make this cross-band double repeater unecessary.
By the way, with only a few kilohertz between transmit and receive. the Receiver on 153.950 was not located at the same tower as the transmitter on 153.890.

Gazintas = Goes into
Gazoutas = Comes out of

Thanks KK5FM,

Apparently, there have been no Gazintas or Gazoutas on the VHF side since I posted this inquiry some time ago, at least none that I have heard - and no CW ID either.
