My guess would be they either changed to DMR or moved to the AWIN trunked system.
RRDB has one DMR conventional frequency & two TGIDs listed as "Fire Southeast" & shared with surrounding communities. You'll need a DMR capable receiver to bring them in

Faulkner County
All fire departments are working on the VHF system for now for paging and fireground operations. Also see the Pager Tones in the WIKI.SouthEast: Liberty/Vilonia/Etc.

Thank you for the info. I have a whistler TRX-2 which shouldn't be a problem. Are there differences between antennas, do you need a certain kind of antenna to pick up DMR. Thank you
An antenna doesn't care what voice mode a transmission is. Focus on band. If the stock antenna doesn't do the job, pick up an antenna which covers VHF
RF is RF
Hoping you can help me. I have a TRX-2 and I know Vilonia went to DMR. I have updated my scanner but I'm only hearing the fire units and not the dispatch. Can you give me some advice for a good antenna.
Thank You
Are you monitoring analog for the paging? Per post 4, above (which you replied to previously), they page on analog and use DMR for comms after the page. You'll need the analog programmed to hear the page outs and the DMR programmed for the department(s) you want to hear. I'm guessing maybe you only have the DMR stuff programmed in so just try throwing in the analog for paging, as well, and see if you hear them then.
The following is the paging repeater info in the county.
RX 153.980
That is for all fire departments in the county.
Response is on the respective DMR channels on one of the 7 repeaters in the county.
Also updated info has been submitted to the WIKI for Faulkner county as well as Submitted new data.
hope this helps.

This is the same way that Baxter County Rural Fire Departments are setup. They page on one analog frequency and after the initial page switch to their respective DMR repeaters, With that being said, You'll need the analog and digital programmed in to hear both.
Just an update to this, Faulkner County is talking about moving all Fire Department operations to the city of Conway Trunking system (CWIN) within the next 5 years. Each fire department will have its own talk group on the system for department use for training etc.
They will be paged on one talk group and then go to one of seven other talk groups for operations. Talk is to have all talk groups be phase 2.

Thanks for the info, I still can't get the page outs, I can get the units talking but nothing else. I have 153.0200 DMR and 153.0200 analog installed and nothing. I'm I missing something?
Thank You
