I recently monitored several CHP units during a speed enforcement operation involving ground and air units. I could hear part of the ground units and non of the air unit conversation. Ground units were directed to go to the Blue Ch (42.340). The dispatcher directed the air unit to go to a tactical channel. I never could get the air unit (I listened to 6 different tactical freqs). Normally, I hear on 45.020 and 42.3400 when coordinating with air-ground units. Other times they use some VHF (154.xxxx) frequencies. Never had any luck with these.
Does anyone have any good data on what air-to-ground and VHF frequencies (154.xxxx and 4xx.xxx) the CHP is using in the San Jose Bay Area. Also, has anyone had any luck monitoring CHP tactical channels. I'm aware of CLEMARS frequencies.
Other times, I see a CHP make a stop and call it in. But I cannot hear it on any of the standard frequencies. Does anyone have an insight what they are using for frequencies when this happens --- mobile telephone?
