| |
| − | The Rapid City area mainly utilizes the '''{{DB|s|2315|South Dakota State Digital System}}''' for radio communications. Some departments still use analog frequencies, but they are few and far in between. Pennington County Dispatch is operated by Pennington County and located in downtown Rapid City. In May of 2015 Pennington County, along with state radio dispatch moved into a new multimillion dollar dispatch facility.
| |
| | | | |
| − | EMS and Fire dispatching to Rapid City and Volunteer Fire and EMS departments in the county is done over digital text paging at 154.43000. Along with text paging volunteer department members get text messages pages direct to their cell phones.
| |

| |
| − | Pennington County maintains a large system of analog repeaters in the county. These repeaters are located in Hill City (155.41500) Rapid City (155.55000) Keystone (155.61000) Bear Mountain (155.67000) and Wall (158.79000).
