Hello

I am trying to find gmfrs frequencies.

I understand they use MotoTRBO radios and i have been searching usinf a DMR enabled scanner but no luck so far.

any help appreciated.

they use Motorola dtr2450 radios with frequency hopping , saw them while they were at the Trafford centre on the 999 day so prob why you cant find anything .

[gordonbrittas]

Thanks for the reply moj.

As i am new to scanning could you explain how their radios differ from usual MotoTRBO radios and why i wouldn't hear them.

Frequencies are the same up and down the Uk and are on this forum.

Same freqs just dmr higher tier staff are using dp4800 I've seen some older dp3400 also,heard Bolton using dmr talkthrough at a grass moorland fire.

When I was last in Morecambe I hear them on 457.0375, CC1. No hopping about, just the same frequency as they were on Fm.

[Alfie]

LFB still 457.0375 main channel some analogue and dmr but no channel hopping going on. would not expect fire service to ever use channel hopping in any case due to safety they were even reluctant to go digital but the sound quality and noise cancelling won them over

[Metradio]

All it took was one Fire Authority to go to DMR with their handhelds and this sort of forced surrounding authorities to go to DMR handhelds, even if they are only used on analogue, so as to retain the mutual aid combatibility..
