5 questions:
1. HPD stands for what exactly? (has something to do with cannabis/intoxication, specifically referred to as NOT alcohol/DUI)
2. I've been occasionally hearing CHP units saying "enroute to the RANGE," what is the range, and why would dispatch announce the range is open for a particular unit? The gun range? Weird that they'd need to be talking about it on the air, but then I don't know how their gun ranges operate, 9PM gun range?, so... is it the gun range or something else?
3. Is there a map of CHP districts that associates Lime/TAC/Color with particular map area as defined in the CHP wiki? I saw the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference but it didn't list Lime/TAC channels associated with each district, like Khaki, Aqua, Amber, etc.
4. Why do calls sometimes come out of Golden Gate division for locations in various districts and sometimes out of channels associated with the district? (at least I think that's how I noticed it)
5. Anyone know exactly what antenna model CHP units are carrying, specifically the ~1.5m antenna?
6. Anyone know why I'm hearing Johnstone Pk/LA Area broadcasts in Bay Area?
Had a lot of exciting events happen in the last 2 months, a 44 mile high speed pursuit that I trailed all the way since it was on my way home. I called in a 23103/23152 on an empty car carrier that was swerving in #2 lane (out of 4) and stayed on with dispatch for 13 miles until 2 CHP units caught up. Called in 11-25 debri this morning, 2 bumpers without associated vehicles in #1/#2 lanes W580, E of Redwood, weird debri... and a bunch of other debri that I called in. There was also a brush fire causing heavy smoke on S880 a couple of months back, thick smoke near Industrial exit.
I have a dashcam mounted, so a lot of things have been captured on video.
My 45 minute commute is best spent listening only to CHP, all other local PD/fire/ambu are too boring.
