Rural/Metro Knox County FD tone out

Are these outdated? If so does anyone have an updated list? I don’t see 36 at all.​

Thanks in advance

They're not 'outdated', just not 'up to date'. There are several newer tones in use, Station 36, fire medics, etc...

Happy Thanksgiving! Do you have an updated list you could share?

Unfortunately, no. It wouldn't be terribly hard to monitor for it, but I'd have to set it up.

Did a little monitoring, and found a few 'new' tones. They've been added to the wiki. Interestingly, it seems that the aerials have been issued separate unit tones from the station tones.

The software is giving slightly 'off' tone frequencies (like saying 625.00 when I know the tone is 617.4), so the tones I've added for 36 and TWR210 are the closest tones on the Mot QC2 chart. Then again, since they switched to the new dispatch on TACN I've thought the tones sounded a little 'off', so it's entirely possible the tone encoder is just doing what it can.

Thank you so, so much!

jblackst— Does RM FD use a UHF or VHF channel to simulcast these tones?​

They used to be solely on VHF, and later used limited simulcasting during their transition. My understanding today is that everything is now 800 MHz.
