Imperial Co. VHF/UHF

[W6KRU]

I was loading a scanner for Imp. Co. and when I went to the database to look for some vhf/uhf freqs. it was empty. I can't believe that is correct. Did an admin make an error?

ICO created a regional trunked system (IVECA) and joined the San Diego trunked system (RCS) some time ago.

Look at the San Diego Page for the RCS system.

San Diego, County of (RCS - Public Safety) Trunking System, Various, California - Scanner Frequencies

I am aware of the RCS, but here in SD County we still have lots of vhf/uhf frequencies. The air base in El Centro certainly isn't on RCS and should have a listing on the Imp. Co. page.

It appears there is not many active RR users in Imperial County . Without "ears on the ground" there, and someone willing to submit, not a lot will get entered into the DB.

Thanks John. I'm not that frustrated. I just noticed the blank page when I went to see what might be available. I queried the database and got back a few fed and state freqs. but not many local agencies. I was just curious.

154.430 still active "blue" for paging. Still repeated on Superstition and Black Mtn. 800 does not work all that hot on the east side near the river, so "el centro" is supposed to monitor blue , but from my understanding they have the channel turned down. Air to ground if not on 800 is on CALCORD. White 1 154.280 still active occationally with BLM/BIA on fires

On the Law side they have the same problem on the river so 154.845

If you are on the east side, east of 98, Rural metro handles most EMS 154.325
North dunes EMS is Shaffer
South dunes Rural Metro

On a curious note, Palo Verde fire operates on RVC east due to RVC E44 running with them.
