    CHP to Trunking

    As I understand it, CHP is moving to a trunked system sometime in the future. In San Diego County they're already experimenting with CHP utilizing the county system. At what point in time does one expect CHP to be trunked and sadly encrypted? I'm at a point of investing in an antenna and I don't...

    LAPD audio cutting off on BCD436HP

    Howdy Howdy! I'm having a little bit of an issue with listening in to LAPD on the BCD436HP. When listening to their audio (from the latest database), I hear the dispatch/tac audio clearly, except that the last half-second of the transmission always seems to be cut off. I've tried different...

    Best SDR set-up for Los Angeles ***not a repost**

    ***I hope you agree this isn't a repost since the Los Angeles OP25 thread ultimately is not what I thought it was*** So Ive learned a great deal recently about SDR -- I started on a Mac and got GQRX and DSD+ running beautifully together. Problem was the dispatchers send out the incident but...

    Callsigns For CHP, LASD, and Fire

    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...

    SDR and LAPD?

    Not sure which forum would be better but since I'm more curious about how well LAPD specifically sounds, I figure here is the place to ask. Has anyone used a cheap sdr doggle and software to listen to LAPD? Was it easy to set up? Any problems? How was it for ease of use? I mostly just want to...

    Los Alamos LAPD frequencies

    Good afternoon. I am a very amateur user; as a newspaper, we have a scanner in our office to monitor what might be going on in the county and provide public safety updates. This is the first time I've had to try to use and set up a scanner. A few weeks ago, LAPD and LAFD both dropped out when...

    LAPD SWAT callsigns

    Sorry, if this was already asked (tried to search, but results didn't show up — is this feature broken or is something wrong with my browser?), but: It's known that 10-David is lieutenant — commander of LAPD D platoon, and that 20-David through 70-David are sergeants — squad leaders. Are other...

    Scanners Going away?

    According to this article LA's first responder radio networks will eventually be forced vacate the 470-512mhz frequencies in favor of LA-RICS VO-LTE network (which has not been built yet I don't think). Will I be able to monitor LTE transmissions? I doubt it. Is this going on everywhere? Right...
