Rehoboth area tone outs

[maus92]

Anybody have tone outs for the Rehoboth/Lewes/Indian River/Bethany stations? I'd like to load them into my 396.... Also, what is the Sussex County simplex station/personnel alerting frequency?

Thanks,

OK, Thanks. I got the RF dispatch freq for Sussex - 453.700. Anybody know the tone frequencies for paging, sation alerting in Sussex? Specifically for stations in Rehoboth, Bethany, Lewes and Henlopen....

Thanks,

There isn't such a thing has Henelopen, and I don't think Lewes has their own repeater anymore. As a matter of fact, I think Rehoboth is the only one with a special tone to dispatch on 453.700.

Wow,

So volunteers do not wear pagers/Minitors anymore? Do they rely solely on station sirens to hear when they have a call?

BTW, I meant Indian River when I typed (Cape) Henlopen - I don't know why...

No they rely on 453.700 which is the county dispatch channel. They have pagers on that frequency. Most of the stations also have their own repeater though as well.

Edit:

Just FYI, Sussex is dispatching all fire depts except Seaford and Rehoboth. They each have their own dispatch. Rehoboth and Seaford center have some sort of a subcarrier that opens up something on 453.700 which repeats it a second time. Don't take my word on that though, I don't quite understand it myself. I do know though that it is the frequency that all county dispatch's are on.

OK,

So on 453.700, the dispatch channel for Rehoboth, do they transmit a pair (or pairs) of tones to set off the alert function of the pagers/minitors - or must the volunteer simply listen to the dispatch frequency continuosly?

Most depts. In Sussex Co. have several sets of alerting tones ie fire, ambulance, officer call depending on the company. Some use only a single set for all calls. All can be heard on 453.700 if they are dispatched from Sussex Call Board or from Rehoboth or Seaford. I no longer have access to the list since they have moved from 33.78 several years ago.
