Anyone know, or can point me to, where I can find the old VHF (perhaps it's UHF) frequencies that Valley Comm simulcasts on?

Valley Comm Fire 1 is the last one (of much use) that still simulcasts to my knowledge.

Interesting.
As for I was told that we could use the old VHF radios at the stations for emergencies.
I'll have to check one out and see if I hear anything on F2 through F4 using those radios.

As mentioned above, I also have only heard activity on F-1. The only activity I hear is tone outs and dispatches. After that, all communication that I have heard is on the trunked system.

Yeah. I figured that is how it worked bsed off my knowledge of how the Sno County trunk works.
I'm not so sure people at my dept know this. As for they gave me the impression that the old VHF radios would work on F1 thru F4. Of which I questioned.

Keep in mind -- that Valley-Comm can still transmit and recieve on all four VHF Fire channels. Thus -- while only (F-1) is in "normal" or "regular" use --- anyone of the VHF channels --- could be "patched" into the 800 mhz system --- by Valley-Comm -- when requested or needed. So whom ever told you that the VHF channels -- (F-1) through (F-4) will still work -- are correct. Only (F-1) is still patched -- simulcast on a day to day basis.

Got it. Good info to know. Thanks for sharing MTM.

Close. VCC can only TX on FIRE-1. All of the other base stations have been removed.

Nice to know. Thanks.

VC can also transmit and receive on 154.220. They have patched 800 talkgroups onto that channel for major fires in the Federal Way/Auburn area before.

They also patched to 153.830 for that school fire in Seatac when Pierce County sent a strike team.
