Ah-this is a public safety system. It may or may not even be digital.
The problem the thread has been about is common carrier paging networks,
which used digital modulation (POCSAG or GOLAY usually), and mostly
operated on old IMTS/RCC mobile phone channels. It's those freqs that
are getting shuffled back into the deck as paging companies shut down
the VHF networks.
