Database says 509.9375.
I believe 509.9375 is the input of 506.9375.
You are correct, the UHF-T band has an offset of +3 MHz. The license shows the repeaters licensed on 506.9375.

Thank i test it out when I go to that area next week to see if that it but a received central div great.
Well, Rampart sounds just fine here in North Orange Co.
Rampart wont work too good from the SFV or anywhere North.... Base Antenna Maybe, HT not good
I receive Rampart 506.9375 adequately here in the West SFV. My BCD996P2 shows 2 "bars" and audio quality is good and clear.
The antenna is an old Radio Shack VHF (high) 1/4 wave ground plane on the roof at about 20 feet off the ground.

central is no problem. You prob cant hear 77th st, Harbor, West LA, Southwest, Wilshire right?
Outdoor antenna is the best way, I use a a Discone and get all of LAPD including all tacs and simplex.
My scanners are SDS100 TRX-1 and Tapped 2006/2042 that work great with all LAPD using the Discone from Chatsworth
Paco-Jerte,
A comment and a couple of questions, if I may. I too have a SDS100 with an Antennacraft ST2 about 25 feet up with approximately 50 feet of RG-11 coax. I live in the East SFV, however, I do not get near the reception you get with your discone antenna. My reception for South Bureau is spotty and West Bureau is non existent. What kind of a discone antenna do you have and at what elevation? Thank you in advance.

You Member, Member!
my antenna is an old Radio shack Discone using RG-X8 cable and its about the same height as yours. I also have the same Antennacraft ST2 at my 2nd home and works fine with most LAPD in the LA area.
Many factors could be blocking your signal. Building, trees, Power Lines, and of course Hills. You might want to fine tune the ST2 until you hit the sweet spot. Take your SDS100 to the roof and use a short cox cable and move your antenna until reception gets better on the hard to tuned stations.
Thank you and yes unfortunately I do have some obstacles, but I will get up there and give fine tuning a try.
