Radio Reference Has The Latest Frequencies

As more and more police, fire and rescue radios move to trunked systems, they’re becoming harder to find. Police and Fire in Warren county Virginia recently moved, and I’ve been wondering where they went to —- until I found out about Radio Reference. To find what you’re looking for there, click on the “database” link. They had all the latest frequencies, and I was back to listening to them the same day. Front Royal Police have moved to 800MHz on a trunked system shared with other users in the county. Most of what they’re doing is in the clear. It takes a little getting used to because of the shared use. At first, I thought the police department was sounding awful casual these days… until I realized one of the shared users is a local cab company with a very rude dispatcher. So to know who is who… the ones who sound professional are the police – Front Royal and Warren County Sheriff’s Office. Warren County Fire and Rescue has also moved to new frequencies, but not 800MHz for some reason. They just switched to the new channels in January 2006, and sound like they’re getting used to the new system.
