Does Stallings have their own police department? I thought that area was handled by Union Co. Sheriff.

You can try the Statewide Hi Band Mutual Aid of 154.8750 MHz, not too sure of anything else.
I'll give 154.875 a try. I've checked all the databases I know of and I can't find anything for Stallings.
I didn't know they had their own pd either until one of their office flew by me in the right merge lane on John St. at I 485 in Mathews.

Stallings Police Department became an official agency earlier this year. They now have about 7 officers ... I believe all came to the department with previous N.C. certification and law enforcement experience.
154.875 (151.4 Hz tone) is only used in the western counties of the state ... mostly be departments already using high band (an exception is Iredell Co S-O, who is on UHF).
The mutual aid frequency for Union County is 453.700 / 114.8 R. Adjoining counties from Lincoln Co to the N.C. coast also are licensed on the frequency ... but use it with a variety of PL tones.
Try the following frequencies ... all with a PL tone of 114.8 Hz:
453.025
453.1125 (low power)
453.125
453.2875
453.525
453.700
453.850

Any new information on Stallings?
I live in Stallings, but have had scanner equipment problems and have'nt monitored in about 6 months (replaced batteries twice on bc245, but still can't keep a charge).
Anyone verify freqs. for Stallings PD?

After not being able to verify what they are using for frequencies, I went to the source...the Chief of Police of Stallings! What the heck I figured. He didn't email me back specifics, but did state that they are using Union County frequencies.
Also stated that they are involved in a meeting next week with other Union County PS officials about going to an 800 Mhz system sometime this year!

Like the question about Bladen County on this forum, Union County was previously licensed for a 7-frequency trunked system that was never built, under the callsign WPIW961:
856.9375 857.9375 858.9375 859.9375 860.9375 858.7125 859.7125
Also, the law enforcement information in Radio Reference needs some work to correct errors:
453.85000 458.85000 KTE533 RM 114.8 PL Sheriff Dispatch FM
- used for municipal dispatching
460.52500 114.8 PL Sheriff Tactical FM
- not familiar with this one; it might be a typo for 453.525 / 114.8
460.57500 WPMG904 RM 114.8 PL Sheriff Tactical FM
- Monroe PD tac, rather than sheriffs
453.11250 WNRM793 M Sheriff Tactical FM
453.25000 KNBT921 M Sheriff Tactical FM
- primarily a special transportation / handicapped trans channel, operated by the county
155.19000 KNED786 B Sheriff Statewide Base-to-Base FM
- NCHP Monroe was never set up with the "c-code" channel when they opened in '94?, and I've never heard Union Co agencies use it (but that doesn't mean it's not available). There has been a push to add 155.475 to some dispatch facilities statewide - interoperability ?
Left out of the mix are 453.025 and 453.2875. The latter is used often on the western end of the county. Both are PL tone 114.8 Hz.

"C-code" is actually SECODE, a brand name device for Sequential Coding & Decoding. It starts as a continuous tone interrupted by breaks in the tone of a particular duration. This was usually done with the old basic line interrupt used by the same mechanical rotary pulse dialer old telephones used. By counting the interruptions, you can tell by ear what number sequence someone is dialing.
The frequency used by NC law enforcement agencies was definitely 155.190 mHz, was a base-to-base only freq (no mobiles licensed in NC), and the audio tone frequency was 2205 Hz, if I remember correctly. The UHF and VHF Med channels originally had this device in hospitals (especially 155.340) and ambulances so they didn't have to monitor open channels and the units didn't have to have a particular PL frequency. When the correct sequence was decoded by a particular unit, it either disabled the receive PL at the radio being sought or simply turned on a speaker. Us old radio heads knew the number sequences for most of the surrounding SECODE users, so when we heard the dialing going on, we immediately knew who was being called.
Needless to say, this old technology is no longer in use, was displaced by the computer networks and now the internet and other comms, and the frequency is no longer a statewide requisite for law enforcement agencies. In fact, there are now some individual counties and municipalities in NC licensed for this freq as primary and tac freqs. Not likely you'll hear any department(s) using it as it was once used. The 154.875 freq is mostly a western NC thing and is more recent than the 155.190 thing of the 50s thru 70s. The western counties on VHF (the huge majority) and most of the ones on UHF make quite a bit of use of this freq, while there are a few individual departmants "down east" that use 154.875 as a primary frequency.

NFM or FM
The Union County frequencies posted show FM. I have them loaded as NFM in my scanner. Which are they, and what would be the difference in sound by loading incorrectly?
Thanks
