You'll probably get a better answer in the California Forum - It's been years since I monitored CHP, back then most if not all were using low band frequencies.
But... Make sure you've got a programming cable and some good software. I use Win500.

I don't know how to program your radio, but I can tell you that the 700 MHz frequencies are used only for the extenders (the base and mobile frequencies are still VHF Low Band, conventional analog). The 700 MHz frequencies are all P25 digital, non-trunked and unencrypted. So they can be monitored. Each frequency has its own NAC. For a list of them, see the RR database page at
California Highway Patrol (CHP) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

In addition to the actual database, take a look at the Wiki for CHP. It has a lot of useful information.
Per a friend who is a contact radio tech for the CHP, they will stay on low band as long as there are low band radios available. If you were a manufacturer of low band radios and the CHP was a customer, you would keep making the radios.
There will be new 700Mz channels to allow officers to contact stations on the air. These will not be used for dispatch.
Please don't post this question in other threads that have nothing to do with your question.
Again, as others have said, these frequencies are conventional and are programmed like other conventional frequencies. You don't need to worry about talkgroups or squelch etc.
