Whatcom County
Well in Whatcom County we are still behind the eightball. We have not moved to a trunking system and still use a combo og VHF/UHF Freq's. Here is a short list.
Bellingham Police:
453.225 -Dispatch and patrol units. This is a repeater system.
155.070- Records and aux. units. Simplex.
Whatcom County Sheriff:
453.325- Dispatch and patrol units including Ferndale and Everson. This is a repeater system.
155.610- Aux units and Tribial Police Lummi/Noosack. Simplex.
155.755-WSP Dispatch and patrol units. This is a repeater system.
154.935- Car to Car. Simplex.
154.430- Fire Dispatch for all agencies.
154.340, 154.220, 154.325, and 153.605 are all the different fire responce freq's used. All are simplex except for the 153.605 freq. which is a repeater.
163.625 Border Patrol, US Customs and other agencies who are now all Homeland Security. The also dispatch for the samll border cities which include Blaine, Lynden, and Sumas police. This is a wide range repeater.
Whatcom County does have a simple 800 system but is only used on a small scale by the Belingham Fire and the Marietta Fire admin. people.
Hope that answers some of your questions

Isn't that suppose to be 154.755 for the WSP frequency?
I see there is a new Whatcom County trunk listed for Fire & Rescue (FARS). Anyone have any more news on this. It is finally going ahead?
Fire
I wrote a thread on the fire departments how they use their frequencies. Check it out.

Sorry
Perhaps you did not see the non trunked portion of my post, plus that freq shows Portland Oregon, It would be a cold day in hell before I could get that signal (from Portland) from Vancouver BC Canada
I realize Vancouver WA is across the river from Portland OR , but I am in Canada and that freq is non trunked (as best as I can see)

I doubt it....People keep throwing around numbers like 20 million dollars. The smaller fire districts in the area couldn't even begin to talk about financing the purchase of new radios. Unless homeland security wants to come in and buy us all new radios (not in this economy), it will never happen.
