CTCSS and PL Tones


Posted by Richard on December 11, 2000 at 14:43:30:

I noticed a post back in June that listed several Pierce County Sheriff frequencies with different CTCSS tones for the same frequency. Example Pierce County Sheriff F-1. 155.640 with a tone of 136.5 and 141.3 and 146.2. I have listened to PCSO 155.640 and have their tone as 173.8 during a search with my BC895XLT. Is this because they use different repeaters to reach different parts of the county and such have a different tone for each repeater. If so, should I have the frequency entered into more than one "channel" on my scanner. Thanks for any and all help.
