Wasatch County and UCAN

[scomp]

Is Wasatch County still using the UCAN system? I was out here about a year ago and my Pro 96 scanned it just fine. However this time, I can't seem to hear anything. I used the 'man' on the control channel frequency and the signal is extremely weak (usually below 30%) and I'm right in the valley. The CC I'm using is the same one listed in the database(868.9125). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Control Channels periodically change (usually to resolve interference issues).
I remember someone in Heber mention the CC there had changed. Just do a manual search in the MO mode until you find an active CC, there are several in Wasatch County including simo site in Heber, Jordanelle, Clayton, etc. Let us know what you find.

Scomp, your information is here.

Is Wasatch County still using the UCAN system?

A couple of months ago summit1 was trying to find frequencies for monitoring Summit County and the UHP down through Parley's Canyon. Junior1970 posted information to answer summit1's question and I believe it will answer yours as well.

Try data channel 866.9375 that is Wasatch Simocast. Four sites that used to be individual repeater sites for Quarry, Wasatch Jail, Sundance and a new site at Jordanelle. It covers the entire Park City/Jeremy Ranch/Snyderville Basin area as well as US 40 by Jordanelle Resevoir down into the Heber Valley and through Provo Canyon. I can pick it up strong in Provo especially on the east side (Sundance.) This went online in October.

Lewis Peak is not part of the Wasatch Simo site. If you are using the old data channel on Lewis (868.2250) it's not on for the new one is 867.9125. It's not really new it been on that frequency for about a year or more. Summit Jail site is also not part of the Wasatch Simo site as I understand it but none of their channels are on either. Go figure.

Great! Thanks for the information. I have actually left Wasatch County for now but will be back in August and give 866.9375 a try. Before leaving, I was able to get some traffic by using CC 867.9125. But that was still quite weak.

New Control Channels

Yea, the control channel idea might be the ticket.

I was recently in Summit county (Park City) and got two new control channels for Site 22 and 23. They have been added to the UCAN system information (sysid: 7202) as of the 11th of this month.
