Low Band

[fireelf210]

Is anyone out there still using low band radios/pagers? Specifically in the 33mhz range. Thanks.

Currently, no, but my FD was using a 33 MHz private channel until a about two months ago. Neighboring Berks County, PA was dispatching on low band until they switched to P25 700 MHz in late 2014.

There are jurisdiction still using low band but they are fewer and further between.

New equipment for low band is getting harder to come by.

Low band is still a great band, and works great over terrain. It's just being left out of newer technology.

I personally still have a few syntorx9000's and a ht1250 for low band.

Why do you ask?

Yes we are and plan to continue using the 33mhz for dispatching here in Lancaster Pa.

My department has a box full of pagers and radios that we are looking to unload cheap.

No use for the radios since we switched to P25. Can u PM me a list of what pagers you have and prices?
