Hello RR! Looking at the CHP database here, I noticed that under the Division Wide sections there are some UHF frequencies, usually just named "UHF 1" and "UHF 2". Does anyone know what those are used for? As far as I'm aware, CHP is usually on lowband. Any insight into this would be greatly...

Is it just me or as CHP Santa Rosa (Emerald 4) been awful quiet the last few days...? I have 2 different radios and a scanner sitting on the base channel and I usually hear things, but nothing since Wednesday. I'm picking up CHP - Napa (Grape) and others just fine. Regards, -Frank C.

Hello All, I'm looking for a new handheld scanner. My current one is almost 15 years old and is falling apart. I'm currently debating between the Whistler TRX-1 and the Uniden BCD436HP.. and I'm not sure which one would be best for Southern California (specifically Los Angeles, Kern, San...

I need advise for a new scanner antenna. After many many years its finally time to put my old ST2 to rest. It has become a victim of bad weather and old age. I need a new antenna and not sure which one to buy. I'm looking for one that's very good on 42.92 MHz and 42.64 MHz that's Imperial County...

Can anyone tell me if CHP Southern Division uses any other "Blue" frequency, besides Southern Blue-2 on 45.42 / 136.5 PL? I was monitoring a pursuit last night in East L.A.'s area, on the Yellow3 frequency. Once they were well into Long Beach, dispatch advised all units to switch to the Blue...

I'm familiar with the naming convention used to identify LAPD units (e.g., 10-A-12) where 10 is the division, A is a two-officer patrol, and 12 would be the car identifier. Can anyone provide similar conventions for callsigns of CHP, LASD, LA County Fire, and LA City Fire? I hear them called...

After listening to a "failure to yield" pursuit the other day I heard what sounded like Border Patrol units on low band getting involved. (1) Are the "Border xx" callsigns CHP or Border Patrol? (2) What (who) is the "Border King" callsign? (3) How does the Border Patrol communicate with the...

So per my other thread, I'm trying to determine how i should be configuring my new BCD436HP and what i should expect from a reception perspective. It was suggested there that i need to post this here to get additional feedback...

Hey, guys. In another post that I had read on here (I don't remember what post) a while ago, someone posted a link to a website displaying a CHP incident page (https://cad.chp.ca.gov/ this page is awesome because it's similar to looking at a CAD. I'm posting this because I was curious if there's...

Hey guys I have been having a hard time trying to figure this out. I live in El Dorado Hills and listen to the CHP Green - Base and Mobile - Auburn (45) / Grass Valley (42) / Placerville (44) radio frequencies. I have a 15 inch magnetic antenna mounted outside my house. It works fine for all the...

My go to scanner for monitoring CHP has been the PSR-310. Especially when mobile, I monitor CHP above most else. Because they are on low band VHF, and the re-use of frequencies throughout the state of CA, I always program CTCSS codes. ALL of my scanners handle them well except for the...

Does anyone know why CHP Air-71 and Air-37 were in/around Sacramento today/tonight? Head Air-71 in the mid-afternoon contacting Sac on the CHP-Black saying trouble contacting Chico on the CHP-Brown, staying on the Black, then saying they would be turning back and heading to Executive for fuel...

Any corrolation between these antennas and the radios in use..?

Hey guys I have a Radio Pro-164 and I need a new antenna for it. I am not listening to any 700mhz frequencies or higher. Theses are the radio frequencies I listen, to I live in El Dorado Hills, up the hill from Sacramento in California. I listen to the CHP 45.36000 Green Base and 42.72000 Green...

Hey all, I have been interested in radios, specifically CBs for a while. I plan to participate in a few road rally's, drives, and road trips across California in the future, and would like to be able to listen to the CHP as well as local law enforcement (but mostly CHP). Airplanes as well as...

Does anyone know if there has been a change to the Visalia/Porterville area CHP base station freq? For years I have picked them up on 42.440, (pink) but for the last few weeks nothing. I still hear the cars from time to time on the car to car channel 42.760, but nothing from dispatch.

2 days ago I heard scrambled (inversion) comms on one of the 39.xxx mhz CHP channels... This was in Mendocino County I was driving and in the light available I wasn't able to see which EXACT channels it was. If I hear it again I hope I can hit the manual button in time, so it doesn't...

What is your best FM DX...??? One of my best "catches" was many years ago in Novato, CA on a warm August day...I caught Floroda Highway Patrol TWO WAY DX on CHP Silver Base (42.08mhz) ... The florida dispatcher asked her units to 10-9 because they were covered by California traffic...

We got 6"+ snow at my place overnight... Ukiah CHP is dispatching on Coast Blue-2 (44.92mhz)... I don't know if White channel is down...

What happened to the speed enforcement via airplane? I used to hear them but now I hardly ever hear them.
