Washington County Fire

[ocguard]

Is Washington County Fire still using their 33mhz frequencies as primary fire ops frequencies? If so, is there any plan to upgrade in the near future?

Still using low band for now, but planning for a P25 UHF trunked system is well under way.

Would it be a safe bet to say that they will still keep the low-band dispatch freq for pages to volunteer fire departments but put all two-way comms on the new UHF TRS?

If so, do you think they will still simulcast the primary fire freq (units responding, going in/out of service, etc) over the low-band freq as well.
