Seattle City Light Frequencies

colonizemars · Mar 15, 2018

Does anyone know what frequencies I should scan for Seattle City Light?

I found this: https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?action=fle&stid=53&en=SEATTLE CITY LIGHT

However, I tried scanning all these frequencies in my BC436HP last time the power went out and I didn't hear anything. I didn't try anything in particular when I scanned them. I just scanned them as regular analogue frequencies.

Thanks!

Sorry it's taken me a while to respond.

Try these: 851.5875; 851.8625; 851.5875; and 852.3625.

I found these over 3 years ago, God knows where, and put them in my old Pro-95 to listen to on occasion. I was living closer to Seattle and received voice transmissions on at least one of the frequencies I listed. Don't remember which one.

Hope this helps.

Are the 800mhz frequencies a trunked system?

storm777 · Apr 13, 2018

Sorry for taking so long in responding, Steve. This is not a trunked system. Had them tagged in my scanner as f1, f2 etc. but as I said, I hardly ever listened to them and after nearly 4 years and a move, I recall very little detail about them.

Thanks a bunch.

Hey for anyone that's interested I talked to a Seattle City Light employee today and they told me they use a Motorola XTL 2500 shown below:

I did earlier today and all I heard was air. I should at least hear some digital noise if these are the right frequencies.

Why is that? They're analog frequencies...

I was saying that because they could hypothetically be using a digital radio. Maybe there was no traffic. I listened for about an hour. Have you heard anything on these frequencies?

Nice man, thanks for your help. I must not have listened long enough.

2875 and 5875 are both DCS 032. I think 2875 is for North (of downtown) tickets and 5875 seems to focus on central (i.e. downtown Seattle) tickets.

Haven't heard a peep from the other frequencies as yet.

852.3625 confirmed as well on DCS 032. Frequency was being used by the SCL radio shop/techs.
