CHP Aircraft frequencies

[sony]

What happened? Did they turn down their power? I used to be able to hear them 15 miles away both plane and car now I can't hear anything on 45.020, 42.340 when they do aircraft speed enforcement.

Thanks for the info I have this info already but I just can't pick them up anymore when they do speed enforcement involving ground units and the airplane that clocks the violators.

I hear them often using 39.14 Blue1 when doing speed enforcement coordinating ground units with the air unit.

Which area?

I've heard that in the Bay Area (Golden Gate Division) they've been using TAC 6 for air enforcement, and there's another thread in this forum where someone said the Ivory is no longer programmed in their radios (although it's the base half of TAC 1 now). Here's the thread:

As stated, TAC 6 is -

Base: 45.06 Mhz
Mob: 42.38 Mhz

I haven't been able to personally confirm it yet, but I've heard from others that it's in use up here for aircraft speed enforcement, along with the Blue on 42.34/42.18.

42.38? Is that a new freq?

As I previously mentioned, It used to be that one could monitor the CHP aircraft and ground units up at Red Top near Fairfield 15 miles away on a Channel Master Base antenna. I believe the freq. was 45.020. No more.
Did they turn the transmitting power down so the signals won't travel far?

Hello. 42.38 has been the mobile part of Tac 6 since 2000.

Ivory 45.02 is programmed into all CHP radios.

So then what happened? I know they didn't stop doing speed enforcement. I have all of those freqs. programmed.

My guess would be the price of fuel has put them on the ground or shortened the flight time. The plane uses AV-gas at a 108 octane, Look at what the price 87 octane is selling for.

You have got to be kidding me..$$$over public safety besides they are tagging people 85+ and that sure brings in lots of $$$$.

Do they do any air enforcement in the L.A. city area, and if so, what freqs? I know I hear them flying in the area, but they might just be coming in for gas or something.

Hello. When in L.A. Co. the CHP helos will use the channel of the CHP area they are over. When they lift off and land from their base in Fullerton they use Blue 42.34/42.18 MHz.

Knowing the price of contractor provided helicopters when employed by the Forest Service I'm not sure that the fines generated by catching speeders by aircraft would pencil out as a self supporting activity. Not only is there a cost for the hourly use of the ship, but a large "daily availability" cost just to have the aircraft sitting on the pad. This is no different than the cost you incur to own and use a car.

As far as I know the fine money generated by the CHP does not go back to the agency directly in their budget, but just like in my federal government experience goes into the "general fund." I believe the CHP only gets that portion of the money collected to use for the overtime costs of officers going to court on their days off. Frequently they use overtime for this otherwise court would reduce their field coverage substantially. There was a very good thread on this, with posts from a few knowledgeable law enforcement officers on this topic some months ago in this California forum.

OK, thanks... I must not listen to those often enough then. Either that, or they concentrate on the outer less urban areas.

The funds from the traffic violations by CHP go to the State Of California General Fund.

The 2 above freqs. aren't they the regular channels for Monterey county?
Up here I believe it is Helicopter 30.

 

[inigo88]

Hey Stingray, H-30 is the Eurocopter AS350 helicopter, Air-31 is the fixed wing Cessna 206 (there might be more too), both based out of Napa County airport. Where do you live? If you're closer to the south bay, H-32 (also an AS350, pretty much all CHP helicopters are as far as I know) is based out of Moffet field.

Where do you live? I'm in the north bay in Marin County.

The area I monitor and where I used to pick up aircraft enforcement is on #80 Red Top Exit in Fairfield.
Did they change their freqs? 45.020, 45.060, 42.340? Used to hear them on t hese channels all the time.
