What exactly is Paging Rec, when it comes to a normal Conventional Freq with a PL Tone?

It means whoever filled out the application put down 5 paging receivers.
It could be an error, but just because YOU haven't heard it doesn't mean they DON'T have paging capability.

Yes...

Well I realize that but that's not the only one license for that frequency and on all of their other licenses, they never put in Paging Rec. That's why it was confusing.

Comparing that to licensing around me that just means there is five pagers on the license. Here they have the pager receivers listed as 15, it covers all the pagers the FD and EMT's carry. I don't understand why they need to license a receiver?? But its included so it must need to be included for some reason.

If the frequency your listening to has a PL on it and your set to decode then you might be missing the pages that way, here when the page goes out there is no PL present, just the pager tones. I assume its done that way for a reason, though i'm not sure why. I do know that the radios in the vehicles have PL decode enabled, so it may be setup that way so that only the pagers are bothered by the page, those with a regular radio on wouldn't hear the tones and the page because their radio is listening for the PL.

Well, that may be so, but that frequency is only for a local transit authority.

Unless they give the top supervisors pagers in an extreme emergency and as far as I know, they can't be toned from the local 911 center.

They really have done a lot of stuff for these two frequencies:

453.350
458.350

1. http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/Uls...W6LvWKjL!-610337469!1603479602?licKey=1203238

458.350
One already mentioned but what's with the KA at the beginning of the call sign instead of WX... like almost any other call sign I have ever seen?

2. http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/licenseFreqSum.jsp?licKey=1221647
458.350 only as well but it appears that this is only Dispatch's radio.

3. http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/licenseFreqSum.jsp?licKey=1238249
Finally the 453.350 set, that seems absent from the other two licenses, but yet this one is now missing 458.350.

What's with this odd licensing scheme?
