If you’ve ever owned a scanner, then you know how easily the bug can bite you and listening to Fire Dispatch calls passes the time, not to mention it’s nice to know what’s going on when you hear the sirens, that said, Phoenix Fire and surrounding valley Fire Departments are addictive to listen to!

Phoenix Fire is in the process of updating their radios to Motorola XTS portables which affords them additional channels from the old 12 channel Sabers. Below are updated frequencies for Phoenix FD by radio channel assignment.

Well if you’ve heard the rumors they are true, like many other cities around the country, Phoenix now has it’s first P25 Ham Repeater on the air and hopefully it will be the first of many.

This is not a D* system, it’s true Apco P25 courtesy of a Motorola 100 Watt Quantar, on the air in UHF from the East Valley. Thanks to my fellow Mots (you know who you are) for getting this one on the air. If you’re equipped (which we know many are), the freqs are as follows:

Input: 443.725 PL 110.9 Analog / NAC 293 Digital
Output: 448.725 PL 110.9 Analog / NAC 293 Digital

Yes it’s mixed mode and has awesome coverage even in the west valley.

ENJOY and 73’s
