Pasquotank County

It seems that 155.2800 PL 118.8 has gone silent for EMS dispatch, They are now dispatching on the county fire frequency 154.3100 pl118.8. The disparcher is advising units to go to TAC2 I am wondering if moved to VIPER totally, If any of you NC guys can advise otherwise it's road trip time from Virginia Beach to check it out, I have also not heard Elizabeth City Fire or Camden County Fire recently

They do have all of those VIPER TGs that have been assigned.
Perhaps they are finally starting to use them full time

I have been wondering this also. I have not received any transmissions on VIPER for Pasquotank EMS or Fire, and the dispatchers have requested them to respond on TAC2 etc...... I've been trying a close call search while I have been in Elizabeth City but no luck yet.

I'll check and let you know what I find out. I am in Tyner (Chowan County). I dont normally monitor them. I have heard Camden went to some type of split system. Eliz City PD is using VIPER, this I know.

Pasq EMS

156.21 is being used by Pasq County and the EMS units are heard responding to calls here (one on Weeksville Rd several minutes ago). Its a repeater and its the same dispatcher that dispatches calls on 154.31.

I looked up the FCC info on WQLN532 (this is the FCC callsign for 156.21 in Pasq County) and I also show 154.845 and 155.76 as possible repeater outputs. There are also 3 159 Mhz freqs which would be the inputs. So it appears the other 2 (154.875 and 155.76) are repeaters as well.

I assume the other 2 (154.875 and 155.76) are Tac 5 and Tac 6 (northside and southside). Right now this is just an hunch though. No radio traffic has been heard on them as of yet.

FYI, I have been monitoring the Camden and Pasq VIPER IDs for 24 hours and heard nothing except for Animal Control on 46384 (Dog calls in Pasq County).

Road trip today 156.210 Pasquotank County Tac 2 PL 131.8 will submit to admins input 159.2925 And as Richard said nothing on VIPER but animal control

Most counties are going to dispatching everything on one channel.

I know Yadkin & Brunswick Counties dispatch Ems, Fire & Rescue across one channel.

There has been some talk of doing that here in my area.

Sort of makes sense, tries up one frequency instead of several.

I think it will eventually wind up this way as more counties switch to Viper

They can dispatch then assign everybody an Ops channel for the call and eveybody is on the same page.

I know a lot of agencies have completely stopped using 155.280 Mhz for dispatching. The last I heard it was for mutual aid purposes only.

I look for Dare County to switch to another frequency in the near future and get off 155.280 Mhz as well.

As far as the Western counties are concerned. I think Avery & Burke Counties are still the only ones that use 155.280 Mhz for dispatching purposes.

just my thoughts
