Just read in our local paper (central Ohio USA) that our PD will be
going from it's current radio system I've been listening to for
years, in the 456 band to the county 800 Mhz. trunked system.

Is there a data base. FCC or otherwise that would have up-to-date
frequencies that can be accessed by the public?

My apologies if this has been covered here in the past, my free
News server has fairly short retention.

TIA

I thank you kindly for your response.

Unfortunately that database (FCC Data Last Updated On: 04-19-2009 11:47 )
has the current frequencies and not the new ones. As this system is due to
transition in the next week or so I figure the new frequencies have to be
available somewhere I just haven't found it.

I'll keep hunting.

Thank you again.

If you can't find it on the Ohio part of the RR, you could do what I did
here. This was before I knew of the RR forum. The city here when they first
went to 800 of course had to test it. So for a while they were broadcasting
on both the old and new. I set my then new scanner that would work with
trunked to search, and I soon logged all the freq. they were using here.
Then it was just a matter of eliminating the talk groups I did not want.
After I had done this I discovered RR had the info, and would have been
easier, but it should work there if the info is not published yet.
