Is Sussex County's fire paging channel simulcast from multiple towers? I tried monitoring while I was down last week, and it was very choppy at multiple spots around the county. This was using a commercial radio programmed to Rx only on this frequency. Not sure if the radio is having issues, or if this frequencies is steered to certain towers depending on the dispatch.

453.700
I use that on my feed. Had to use external antenna to pick it up clear. In my travels using some of the other frequencies like the 453.225 and the ones by the beach area cover better. 453.700 seems to be central to western Sussex

Sussex dispatch
I have volunteered in the county for 2 years now. Our county dispatch is 453.700. Many fire companies have a simulcast channel which has the talk groups from the 800 MHz system such as ( ems 3 , fire 2 ect ). The 453.225 is a single fire house repeater for what talk groups that dept wishes to simulcast for there members. I am still trying to find an answer on how the towers work. It appears the towers are in sections or alert groups of companies. It seems very strong when my home company is alerted and I am able to here all companies from the corner of rt113 and rt24 south and east to the ocean. Other than that I can very rarely hear any companies west of 113 north or south. This is all on the UHF system. Of course if you have a digital trunking scanner you will here the whole county dispatch loud and clear.
If you are in the Bethany , Millville area our repeater channel is 453.175 MHz. You will hear most fire and ems talk groups siimilcasted from the 800 MHz system.
Sorry not able to answer your specific question. I just as confused and trying to find out how our system works.
