| Channel | Frequency | CTCSS | Assignment | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 453.1000 | 186.2 | Dispatch | for Zones 1 and 2. |
| 2 | 453.2500 | 186.2 | Dispatch | for Zones 3 and 6. |
| 3 | 453.4000 | 186.2 | Dispatch | for Zones 4 and 5. |
| 4 | 453.5500 | 186.2 | Index | This channel is monitored by the Index desk and Warrant Office. It is used to run vehicle registration checks, warrants, Operator License Numbers “OLN”, and tow requests. |
| 5 | 453.7000 | 186.2 | Fire Dispatch | all zones. |
| 6 | 453.8500 | 186.2 | Fire Ground | all zones. |
| 7 | 453.4500 | 186.2 | Tactical Channel | Primarily used for SWAT tactical operations, search warrant coordination, visiting dignitary security details, sporting events, etc. |
| 8 | 453.9500 | 186.2 | Detective or Administrative Channel. | Primarily used for brief conversations regarding calls or details. Unit-to-unit radio traffic is thereby kept off the primary dispatch channels. Communications normally handled on Channel 7 may be moved to Channel 8 if SWAT is running an operation, i.e. lower priority communications can be moved to Channel 8 as necessary. |
| 9 | 462.9500 | 100.0 | EMS Dispatch 1 | |
| 10 | 462.9750 | 100.0 | EMS Dispatch 2 | |
| 11 | 453.5250 | 210.7 | Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency ("PEMA"). | Due to its infrequent use for PEMA matters, this channel has been used for other purposes, e.g. tactical operations. |
| 12 | 458.3625 | 186.2 | Police simplex. | This is the only channel that is NOT patched through a mobile repeater. Transmissions are direct, unit to unit; with the same frequency used for transmit/receive. This channel is used when units are traveling together outside the range of the mobile repeaters. More importantly, this channel is used for surveillance, narcotics, speed traps, and tactical activities. The output wattage is set at 2 watts per the FCC database. This limits the signal range. You won’t be able to pick up these communications unless you are in close proximity to the operations. |
So there’s your basic Pittsburgh Police lineup. The transmit frequencies are available in the RR database.
