Is there any good way to receive weather alerts and weather information in the outdoors where no NWR reception exists, such as in large areas of the Southwest? Options I have looked at: - Red Cross or FEMA app for warnings and windy or meteoblue for weather forecasts - Preferred way, but...

I don't get up to Lake Tahoe much, but I see that Fallen Leaf CSD Fire Department has applied for and been granted a new repeater pair. Looking at the RRDB, it appears they are currently using a base/mobile frequency for fire district operations. This new repeater pair is on a different output...

Does anyone know the current unit numbering system for SSO (since they changed to SSO from SSD)?... I am an avid scanner and am wondering about the unit IDs or the unit numbering system. If you have info I thank you in advance.

I am curious as to any possible rationales for PG&E choosing to deploy MPT1327 as their radio system instead of a Type II, LTR, or any other comparable analog trunking system. From what I understand, its one of the only MPT systems that exist in the U.S. and its a type that's mostly used outside...

Whenever I go through Rocklin I tune to their Dispatch frequency and along with MDC1200 I sometimes hear what sounds like a two-tone signal on keyup and sometimes on de-key. I have heard something similar to it on CHP's Valley Division-wide UHF frequencies but I am not sure what it is. I have...

I'm hearing a fair number of transmissions on 822.5375MHz PL 123.0, the input for pre-rebanding CMARS Green, here in Ventura with decent signal strength, somewhere in the -95dBm ballpark. I can only hear a single base station (which appears to be linked via wireline, showing 2175 Hz notch), but...

Shingletown residents create radio communication for a fire blackout When it comes to hot and dry days in the Northstate, Shingletown residents are particularly on edge. The town was classified as Cal Fire's top priority this fire season. The layout is similar to Paradise, where the Camp Fire...

It appears that Barstow Police Department (Talk Group 17200, 17232 and 17296) has fallen off the face of the earth. They are not on 800 system any more and I have checked Phase I & II P25 both 700 and 900 systems with no luck. Barstow Fire Department is still using the 800 system though. Can...

Very soon the wife and I will be taking a road trip from AZ (Phx Metro) to Santa Barbara area and will be taking our Pro-94 scanner with us. Is there any particular frequencies we should have programmed to monitor for interesting listening on the trip

Hello all! I realize I hardly ever post but hopefully this post can help break that habit. To keep things short, one of my many skills involves public records laws (e.g. the California Public Records Act or Freedom of Information Act) as well as other open government laws. For those that are...

Since a fire developed in the Mt. Diablo hills near Clayton & Concord California last week the shared Police frequencies have either changed or been dropped - anyone know what happened? The frequencies are/were 460.150, 460.250 and 460.550. Please let me know or share your thoughts...

Hello All :) I am new to this forum and would like to know about how I can get a new HAM license in CA state? Please send me any links or contacts or references. Also, if you are reading up for the exam, we can form a study group if interested. Thanks, Guru

Anyone in the California Central Valley interested in programming a few XTS 5000s? I have RSS but no programming cables. I'd pay you for your time. Thanks

I got my first scanners capable of rebanding (Pro 163 and Pro-164), and have updated the firmware... While I've been very familier with conventional comms for a very long time...trunking is new to me... I looked in the database here, and while all I want is LAW, FIRE, FORESTRY & EMS, what I...

Hi: I live in Imperial County in CA (specifically El Centro) and am respectfully asking for advice for what type of scanner to get in order to listen in to the local public safety and other traffic. I'm a newbie amateur but I know that the local PS is almost all on the San Diego RCS System and...

I have little experience monitoring helicopters, but on several occasions the Richmond PD (I think) helicopter has been hovering over/near my workplace. Anyone know what freq they're using, or what range to search? I've used the RadioReference database to program my 396XT, but the helicopter...

I'm sorry if this question has already been asked before. When applying for an FCC license in the VHF 144-174Mhz band, do they charge for only 1 frequency or 1 fee for as many as you would like to use? I am trying to be able to have 3 private channels for use in my home town as well as out in...

The Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System is supposed to link all of L.A. County's first responders. But its status is uncertain. Blame sloppiness, recriminations and politics. http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-newton-column-20110611,0,2121450.columnL
