Government

Jefferson County EMA also has ESMARN 155.025 (CSQ) available for use.

1/24 - County Fire districts are using slot 2 on the Sheriff DMR system. That's Jefferson Fire Protection District, Webber Fire (Bluford), and Woodlawn Fire. It's all encrypted. Some RIDs are in the WIKI
Waltonville Fire is still using 154.43 analog because of spotty DMR coverage in their area.
MABAS Red and Blue are in use on firegrounds with multiple departments
