Does anyone know why Roxbury FD is also being hear on 153.890 with a PL of 203.5? Possible new pager frequency??

Additionally I was doing a Public Safety band search the other night and came across a few frequencies I haven't been able to identify and need some help with. Some could very well be coming from PA so depending on the response here I may post over on that forum too.

154.0250R PL 186.2 - I believe it's a Northampton Co. PA Police VHF simulcast based upon the PL and the locations given by the officers but can't find any reference to it.

154.8000R PL 127.3 - Definately Police but who?

155.3250R D051 - ??

151.2200R - Didn't catch a tone yet but heard reference to "sending the information to your MDT" so I'm assuming some sort of Law Enforcement.

151.3550 PL 103.5 - Sounds like EMS. Dispatch referred to as "Tri-Comm"


Thanks in advance!

Carbon County, Pa.

Berks County Southeast PD (Boyertown area); a lot of their non-priority calls are sent via MDT as opposed to over the air. DB lists 186.2 as PL.

Earlier Roxbury was toned out for a call and nothing came over this frequency w/ this tone.
I don't live that far from Roxbury,so I should've heard something.

I first heard it the other night and I confirmed it again earlier today. I'm in Roxbury and the signal isn't that strong. Not picking it up on my handheld, just the base with the Scantenna on the roof. Haven't bothered driving around to see where the signal is stronger.

Ok. That's why I didn't hear anything. It must be a low power frequency. Thanks for the info.

That is a cross band repeater that one of the Mendham's is running. I don't think it is licensed. I believe you can only license that frequency as mobile only. I think what you are hearing on 151.220 is actually Mountain Lakes Police on 151.2275 PL 151.4.

Mendham must be repeating 45.600 and now that you mention it, I haven't really heard anything other than the dispatcher so I bet that's it. Roxbury still pages out on their old frequency.

Not sure about what I'm hearing on 151.220 being Mt. Lakes though, I do pick them (Mt. Lakes) up and their signal isn't anyway near as strong on 151.2275 as the one I heard on 151.220. I'll keep listening and try to grab a PL.

Now if I can figure out who 154.8000R PL 127.3 is....and I came across a new one...153.8600R PL 77.0. Sounds like Fire/EMS and I originally thought it was Ocaen Grove FD in Monmouth County but the PL is wrong..

154.8000 MHz R (PL 127.3 Hz) is Carbon County, PA, like ctrabs74 said.

EDIT: 153.8600 MHz R (PL 77.0 Hz) is Orange County, NY.
