Netbook added to station

I have recently added a Gateway netbook to the station. This should be perfect for programming radios, trunk system analyzing, frequency loggings, radio control, and many other uses. Currently I have all the software for all the radios loaded in it. I plan on keeping all databases, maps, and other information on there as well. This will be used along with the pocket PC. Not as portable as the pocket PC, but more powerful, easier to look at and operate, and much greater capacity for portatble applications.

More on Allegheny County fire tones

Received this email with more information on Allegheny County fire tones :

Wanted to send you a few additions to your Fire and EMS Tones page

121 - Cheswick VFD - 600.9/726.8
121 - Cheswick VFD - 634.5/903.2
262 - Shaler Twp - Shaler Villa 470.5/584.8 (QRS)
241 - Richland Twp VFD - 445.7/928.1
216 - Oakmont VFD - 584.8/879.0

164 - Hampton Twp - Hampton VFD - 445.7/569.1

Also on your site , you have a pair for Hampton VFD of 445.7/553.9 - I
think that may be incorrect and instead be the one listed above

Thanks for the information, and the correction. I have been working on the shack, and experiencing sound card issues that have kept me from analyzing fire tones.
