3/2024 - Radio Upgrade Link

  • As part of an upgrade program to replace a variety of older radios for 26 fire agencies throughout the county, Boulder County, Colorado, through the Company's local authorized dealer, has placed a purchase order for 315 of BK Technologies Corporation's BKR 9000 multiband radios (NYSE American: BKTI) (the “Company” or “BK Technologies”), the company announced today. As of right now, the fire departments employ a variety of manufacturer-branded radios on Colorado's DTRS 7/800MHz P25 radio system for everyday use. They also have a number of BK radios to support their VHF-based wildland fire mission. In order to standardize on a single radio platform that can function on all P25 radio systems, in any frequency band, as well as the VHF band for wildland fire operations, the BKR 9000 multiband radio was chosen.

Listening to Boulder County

Analog (VHF)

Much of Boulder County operates on conventional analog VHF channels. Refer to the Boulder County Conventional Database for additional frequencies that are not listed below.

Boulder County

The Boulder County Sheriff's Office provides dispatching services for Erie, Jamestown, Louisville, Lafayette, Lyons, Nederland, Superior, Ward, and the unincorporated areas of Allenspark, Eldorado Springs, Gunbarrel, and Niwot.

Both Law and Fire are served by three primary repeater sites: North (Mead), Central (Gunbarrel Hill), and South (Mount Thorodin). All three sites are simulcast and carry the same traffic. As of Feb 2023, dispatch for County Sheriff and Fire are simulcasting with Colorado DTRS P25 system and some unit radios are registering on P25 system rather than VHF.

Boulder County's law enforcement are dispatched on Law and is often referred to as "County Law."

Some of these agencies may have separate frequencies for internal communications. Refer to the Boulder County Conventional Database for these.

City of Boulder

As of late 2022, all Boulder City POLICE traffic has moved off these VHF frequencies to the new CBIRS 770Mhz P25 trunked network. The Boulder Police Department is dispatched on Police 1, CBIRS TG 45001 (not encrypted). During 2021 and 2022 transition, Police dispatch was simulcast on now retired VHF.

Statewide DTRS

Some agencies in Boulder County utilize the State of Colorado Digital Trunked Radio System (DTRS).

A full listing for Boulder County talkgroups can be found in the Boulder County section of the DTRS database.

State Agencies

Colorado State Patrol 1D (1 David) Troop covers southern Boulder County on TGID 2389 and 3A (3 Adam) Troop covers northern Boulder County on TGID 2451. Note that any State Patrol talkgroups may be patched together at any time. Refer to Colorado State Patrol (CO) for important monitoring information and the CSP section in the DTRS database.

Colorado Department of Transportation 1L (1 Lincoln) covers the state highways in the county on TGID 2499.

Boulder County

Boulder County Sheriff's Office and a few local agencies are transitioning to this system. To facilitate the transition, most VHF channels used by law enforcement and several fire department VHF channels are patched directly into DTRS. These VHF to DTRS patched channels share the same names between the system. In certain circumstances, the DTRS patches can be used to hear the simplex tactical frequencies that would typically be out of range.

Note that an affiliation is required in order to hear these patches. As a result, only the dispatch talkgroups can be consistently be heard on the system. The current patched talkgroups are below.

Channel Name Talkgroup
Law 9100
Law 2 9101
Law 3 9573
LTAC 1 9566
Data 9571
Booking 9102
Fire 9104
FTAC 2 9105
FTAC 3 9106
FCMD 9108

The remaining talkgroups found on DTRS under Boulder County may be utilized occasionally and are not patched to the VHF system.

Some of the county fire departments dispatched on County Fire have tactical talkgroups on the DTRS system. These departments include Allenspark (9542, 9543), Lafayette (64, 63), Coal Creek (1501), Rocky Mountain & Louisville (9111). Mountain View has talkgroups on FRCC and DTRS. See relevant database entries for more details.

City of Longmont

Longmont Police is dispatched on Longmont Police Law 1 (9515) and can also be heard on their patched analog VHF channel (156.210 MHz). Longmont Police also utilize tactical talkgroups that are fully encrypted and therefore cannot be monitored.

Fire Tone Out (FTO)

Paging is performed on many of the analog frequencies used in the county. These tones can be used with scanners that support fire tone out. See Fire Tone Out for more information.

Boulder County Fire Dispatch

Boulder County Fire Dispatch uses mostly paging tones that correspond to the Plectron standard, although the timing differs. Some tones are Motorola Quick Call II. Some tones are neither.

Avoiding using a County Fire repeater channel for monitoring tones higher than 1820 Hz as the repeater won't rebroadcast it. In that case, you will have to monitor 154.325 MHz directly.
