South Hills Regional Ring Down will stop operations tomorrow morning, June 27, at 0700. The changes for the former South Hills Regional Ring Down will be as below.

Old SH fire dispatch 6 (460.600 PL 88.5) will still be the dispatch channel for Castle Shannon (Sta 119), Dormont (Sta 130), and Mt. Lebanon (Sta 198). This will however be linked to 460.400, and use 465.400 as the input. All traffic will be simulcasted on both sites, Pleasant Hills (460.400), and Mt. Lebanon (460.600).

Site Updates

The Allegheny County Dispatch By Zones and Scan Links pages have been updated and uploaded today.

The Scan Links Update includes removal of all dead links I have found. I have added some links. I am not done with my search for new Live Audio Scanner sites, and will add more soon. I will also be going through my stats pages and add any referring links that I don't have listed. I will post a link to any page (in good taste) that links to my page.

The Allegheny County Dispatch By Zones update includes the new linking for South Police 1 on 460.075 and 460.350. There ought to be more changes in this zone in the next week or two.

The Start Of The K3FSS Blog

I am going to try using this Blog as a way to publish new frequencies and changes until I can get the updates on my web site. There are so many changes going on in Allegheny County that it is hard to keep up with

I have gotten some feed back that some would like an RSS feed for the changes, and hopefully this will work for that. I will post on here when pages to the site have been updated. I will be keeping the updates pages. I have been trying out a forums type layout for this purpose. But looking at the stats for that, it is not used. Perhaps this layout will be easier to use and will serve its purpose better. I will add a link to all web site pages to the blog soon (I hope).
