Guest chrisfromthelc Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I was programming my radios for an upcoming camping trip. I have FRS and GMRS programmed into my handhelds, and was testing one to make sure it was ready to go. I flipped over to GMRS22, which is 462.725, and have heard what sounds like automated emergency dispatches for the past hour (it's currently 3AM here in the Phoenix area). The calls all follow the same script: a unit, the emergency, an address, and the unit again, with "KX7" or another similar tag at the end. They're never for one area, and the addresses don't seem to have any specific pattern.I thought maybe I miskeyed in frequencies, but double and triple checking, and I'm absolutely sure it's not on any local emergency channels, scanning, or anything of that sort. I even tested another already programmed unit to be sure. Anyone know what it is, and why it's on a GMRS frequency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Whoops. Sorry, it is GMRS16, which is frequency 462.575, with 141.3 tone. rfmedic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quarterwave Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Sounds like someone is repeating a Public Safety paging channel onto GMRS.....big NO NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
