ok, 153.815 was renewed back in 2015, so must be back up only.
The 153.815 license was just updated in October to reflect the new PD building location with 300 watts ERP.
Was funny APD got in pursuit of a stolen car lead car of pursuit and the second car calling it went up over Ankeny Hill and dropped over the top into Salem and completely dropped off the radio and they had to call them by cel, to get status I guess nobody tested the radios for range, I am thinking that is why Linn County got the hardware to tie the 7 county system to the State 700 system so they can roam between the two (maybe up HWY20?? also on the Santiam Pass )
The first week of LCSO being on 700MHz the 154.710 on Scott was active on rebroadcasting the dispatch 22001 talk group but is off now. Have heard the forest deputies coming in on Hoodoo Halls or Cougar on VHF and coming out on 700 with the delay reversed and static on VHF does not convert to digital well.
Picking some the 151.130 rebroadcast up here in Sweet Home on hand held scanner with slight delay to the 700
The 700 system started out in Benton County at the Corvallis Public Works (right where 99 W crosses the railroad) and Albany PD was the first user, I think they did it to satisfy the inuse date to the FCC.
Not sure if the 7 county system will ever be put on Wren or Green Peter or south Linn or Benton counties as originally planned.
Scott MT was put on line a few years ago and then the started the simulcast and LCSO coverage testing along the hiways and once that was put in they started moving the VHF on the new system and heard the techs tell dispatch of the change of Scott becoming the main VHF instead of Know Butte
I suspect before they are done they may change alot of things around between VHF and the trunk system..
Also point out that Sweet Home Fire got one of the VHF mobile repeater freqs 173.2375 for use on High Deck mountain to get the radios out of Cascadia into Scott Mtn Fire 3 153.995, Scott Coverage really is bad in Sweet Home after the narrow banding and not sure but they may still have radio problems as I look directly at it and signal is low.
