Are they still on VHF or have they moved to 800 MHz? Read on another forum they might be on the WARICS and encrypted, but I scanned 800 MHz when passing through and did not find any P25 data channels.

I did a quick run through the FCC database. The VHF frequency is still active in the FCC database.

The only other 800mhz system, not assigned to Nextel, Fisher, Arizona Public Service company, besides the one site on the WARICS system in Quartzsite, are some smaller entities.

They should be on VHF or possibly on WARICS.

I found this link as well. Not sure if its still accurate.

I plugged in the WARICS freqs from the database but didn't hear a thing in Quartzite or anywhere on I-10.
Looking at my notes I logged some hits on 155.700 173.8 coming down the hill into Ehrenberg, but don't remember what it was. Unfortunately I didn't spend much time on VHF so it remains a possibility.

La Paz and Mohave counties are still VHF (except Lake Havasu City - Mot2 800).

Looks like a slow move for the Yuma Regional Communication System (YCRS) northward. The Q site probably wouldn't cover Parker and the strip area - I think its mainly for YCRS North Yuma County coverage. They did have a site on Oatman Mtn that was patched to the White Tanks 700 system during an interops test between RWC and YRCS. I'll have to find the link to the story. I think at this point that WARICS is a bit of a misnomer - its YCRS in the correspondence I've seen.

(edit) Its also supposed to link to RCS Imperial County from Telegraph Pass.

The freqs referenced for La Paz SO, are valid frequencies, licensed to the same. Check this link, for where they may be in use: ((caution, may load slow, loading map graphics too))

It would be nice to verify those F1-F5 channels

Well I have all the time in the world today so i will plug in the freqs i found and listen all day and report back on what i found. I am right outside of az on i 10.

Here's a link to the aforementioned interops test between RWC and YRCS: http://www.azgita.gov/psic/meetings/...2008-11-20.pdf

I never did find info for the freqs on Oatman...

That should be the input. Nothing on 155.31mhz? Also, are you able to verify the PL tone?

Thanks,

Thanks,

My radio keep hitting on 173.8 and the unit was i 10 at mm 49

BTW,
Riverside County is building an all digital Motorola 700 MHZ P25 system (Completion around 2012) that is supposed to eventually link up with surrounding Counties such as OC,San Bernardino,San Diego,Imperial plus La Paz and Yuma.

[K7TKR]

Oh really. Where's the information on this? I've been spending a lot of time in Southern California and Riverside is one system that is always included since the county covers all of I10 from east of Yuccapia to the line. I'd be very interested to see how they hook up with San Bernadino whose system is an analog one and probably won't be compatable with a 700MHz P25 system.
