Hey Chris,
Welcome to the group.
Eagle Ridge works great. Along 80, I only heard NHP Reno traffic on the working NSRS towers, Winnemucca, Lovelock, Golconda, Elko. That was a couple of weeks ago. While in Elko, the NHP (local to Elko) was on 150Mhz freqs.
Supposedly NHP will go to the NSRS towers and there will be new TG's for an Elko division of NHP where the break between NHP Reno and NHP Elko will be I do not know. A recent traveller to Lost Wages reported NHP to be on the NSRS in Clark County. No reports of simulcasting just that NHP was heard on NSRS.
NHP between Sparks and Fernley is simulcast on Washoe County Regional Communications System. WCRCS simulcasts some Washoe County Sheriff on Eagle Ridge. The site at Patrick is the only tower that seems to be having issues as the Sparks site is now up but nothing is being steadily broadcast as of a couple days ago. The Patrick tower seems to be cycling through CC's. There is common freqs between Patrick and Sparks so this could be creating some listening issues.
I find it interesting that Patrick has as many freqs as Red Peak (5) but is "in a hole" with sites beyond have only 3 freqs. Do they expect that much traffic in the gulley over Sparks and Eagle Ridge???

I like reality radio over reality TV shows. I am not a scannerhead, I just like to listen.
