St. Louis cnty frequency question

[firebell9137]

Hi guys. Does anyone know the cce 911 units responding on south main frequency? If so i have an xts3000 and whats the nac code? I live by monarch station 4 and only get the tone out channels from cce 911.

It's talkgroup 54756 on the SLATER trunked system

Yep, you will need an 800 MHz radio or scanner capable of P25 trunking to listen to South Main now. The VHF mains were discontinued with the move to SLATER almost 10 years ago.

Does anyone know all the talkgroups that are on 154.220 central beside Monarch? I have South fire dispatch talkgroup and south fire main as well in my scanner now. Just wanna scan whatever else comes over analog 2 tone channel on the talkgroup.

Your answer is more than likely in the wiki

See the wiki for Central County here: Central County E911. Also, if you want to monitor just the South Dispatch and Main, make sure that you are also scanning Fire Tacs 20-29. These are assigned to larger south calls.

When Central County E911 dispatched departments were still dispatched on vhf and not SLATER they were split North (North Dispatch)/Central (Central Dispatch)/South (South Dispatch). Those departments retained that scheme HOWEVER on SLATER they are then divided to either North (North Dispatch, North Main, TAC 10-19) or South (South Dispatch, South Main, TAC 20-29). The dividing line for departments is roughly Page Avenue.

Monarch for example get's toneouts on VHF via Central Dispatch 154.220 but responds and operates on the South Talkgroups. Mehlville for example get's dispatched with toneouts on VHF via South Dispatch 154.160 and responses and operates on the South Talkgroups. They did this so department's didn't have to reprogram their station alerting. There is no paging capability currently on SLATER so if the stations wanted to retain their station alerting via radio they have to do it with the old vhf frequencies.

The only thing currently simulcasting on vhf and SLATER is Dispatch. All traffic is on SLATER. So if you wanted to monitor the fire departments but also hear their tones then you need to also monitor 154.325 (north dispatch), 154.220 (central dispatch), and 154.160 (South Dispatch).

Enjoy the tones while you can.
