Salt Lake Valley Sites

[522]

Question to anyone in the Salt Lake City Valley;

Does anyone program more than the 003 (3) Site for Utah Communications Authority Site: Salt Lake County Simulcast

7202	003 (3)	Salt Lake County Simulcast	Salt Lake, UT	851.875	852.150	852.175	852.400	852.425	852.6875	852.725
				853.0875c	853.1125c	853.4125	853.5125c	853.6625	854.5875	855.4625
				856.2375	856.3125	856.6125	856.9875	857.9375	859.4625	859.7375
				860.7125	866.3625

Curious if anyone adds any of the other 7202 Sysid's in Salt Lake County, such as:

7202	011 (B)	Nelson Peak	Salt Lake, UT	851.0375	851.100	851.125	851.375	851.650c	851.700c	851.400
				851.900c	852.5375	852.750	852.9875	853.550c	853.575	853.800
7202	013 (D)	Parley's Canyon	Salt Lake, UT	851.1625	853.6375c	851.4625	852.0375	852.8625	851.750c	852.350
7202	025 (19)	Scotts Peak	Salt Lake, UT	853.6125c	856.4625	857.9875c
7202	036 (24)	Cliff Lodge	Salt Lake, UT	851.300	852.0625c	852.550c	853.8375	853.8875

I have them programmed.

I include Nelson

Is there a technique to programming sites? I’m in Park City and I’ve programmed every site in Summit, Wasatch, and Morgan Counties. When scanning UCA my HomePatrol shows full bars then flashes 2 bars a couple times, but every time there’s traffic it’s 2 bars and staticky. Part of it is where I live, driving around town there’s other areas with perfect reception.

That sound like simo

simo?

 

[enosjones]

Simulcast

 

[DanLP456]

I wanted to revive this thread with another question. When I put my lat/long into my HP2 and scan the full database I get great reception. But when I switch my favorites list that has the same TG’s I hear either nothing or very weak/static. The favorites list has multiple sites programmed and I don’t think I’m missing any that would cover where I am. Should I cut down on the number of sites I have programmed and just put in the one site closest to where I am? I’m in the Pinebrook area of Park City, so I’m guessing Wasatch simulcast?

 

[enosjones]

If u are still in summit County, u will want to listen to the sites that are closest to u, Lewis, humpy, echo, Elizabeth peak, or China ridge

 

[enosjones]

For Wasatch sites strawberry peak, Clayton peak currant creek, daniels canyon, Wasatch simo, yellow lake..

 

[DanLP456]

Thanks! When listening to UCA on the full database, I am getting traffic loud and clear from Wasatch County, so I guess that’s a clue that my best repeater is the Wasatch simulcast.

 

[enosjones]

If u have an Hp2, Wasatch simo will be distorted because its simulcast. An sds model will clear up the distortion

I have all sites from Wendover to Evanston programmed into one bank.
Except I left out Salt Lake Simul.
So as I travel along I-80, one site fades out and the scanner locks onto the next site.
Example: Wendover, Delle, Nelson, Parleys, Summit, and so on.
there are other sites in Summit County, but I can't remember all of them.
TGRPs for Sheriff, Police, Fire & EMS. Also all Regional & Event

New SDS100 owner here - i'm planning on making the trip from Wasatch County to Wendover and would like to program what you have for this trip. Any tips? Thanks

The GPS option is the best/easiest option to handle that.

But.. the other option would be to program the counties you are traveling thru. Pick and choose what exactly you are wanting to listen to.

Thanks - the GPS is the best option, is this something i have to buy as an external gps receiver or is this internal into the SDS100? If i have to purchase something any recommendations? Thanks.

Also while in Wendover i want to scan aircraft at Wendover airport. sometimes the military comes in with C-130's and C-17's and our window could view them, now i want to listen to them.

looks like there is the Uniden OEM GPS kit specifically for the SDS100 but will have extra parts for other products. which version for plug and play the easiest? Thanks.

Give this thread a read:

SDS100: - SDS-100 Travelling w/ GPS. Lightest, most compact option?

 

[heyrickdude]

Thanks for the info. Ordered GPS and should arrive next week. Will play with it then.

Just to close this comment: GPS ordered and received and used on I-80 from Park City thru Salt Lake City UT to Wendover NV for a weekend getaway. Worked as described. A bonus was, now that I was in Wendover, the GPS already determined my location for local searches, mostly hotel staff.
Thanks for the info.

Curious... which GPS did you end up with?
