So, I'm former LE from 1988 to 1993. Since I'm out of the field for so long, I've admittedly lost touch with how radio is conducted. We were always on the old school Motorolas with the bleeps everytime you press the button to talk. We had one channel to go car to car, and one channel that everyone could monitor.

I live in Los Angeles County now, near the Ventura County line.

I've read both your getting started Wikis, but of course they don't cover areas and what areas are using what technologies. Rightfully so. Those would just be immense entries.

I'd like to listen to:

Los Angeles County Sheriffs (Lost Hills)
CHP
LA County Fire
and local community services.

I've been looking at a lot of different handhelds. I'd just like to stay informed on local happenings when needed and in case of natural disaster, etc.

It seems LASO/LASD is on P25 now.

Anyone familiar with CHP?

I am looking at getting a handheld in the 500 dollar range to listen to all of these agencies.

Can anyone lend some advice on the technology for the departments and agencies i've listed?

Thanks in advance

Eric
