I am in Elpaso County, I am receiving a talk group 4902, 4903 and 4914. I can not find a listing of who they are. If anyone knows please let me know.
What a hobby!
TG 4902 sounds like it is used by Colorado Springs School District 11's maintenance or engineering departments. Today they responded to an issue about an open hatch on top of a building at Rampart High School. I will continue monitoring TG's 4903 & 4914 to learn who their users are.
Mick, Thank you. For some reason I do not receive any audio on these transmissions. I live out in Falcon, I do have a Diamond Discone antenna outside up about 30 feet feed with RG8U. I get every thing but that. I must not have it programed properly. I will have to look at that.
TG 4903 sounds like it is used by Colorado Springs School District 11's Security Officers, or dispatch, and so far I hear them doing radio checks with dispatch being called "School Safe." This could be a two-way radio connection TG, allowing emergency services personnel and school officials to talk in real-time during any incident. I will continue monitoring and let you know what else is heard.
I might be missing something, but "Monument" in El Paso county is missing from the data base. Am I wrong, are these old eyes just not seeing it? The frequencies that I have on a old listing are 851.125, 851.6375a, 852.800a, 853.4125c, 853.775a. If I am wrong, please set me straight. I look for it under El Paso county in the list of county's. I have been wrong before.
it might be time for new coax.
if it is older than 5 years it should be changed, and if it is outside, definatly.
you also might want to change to a different one and look for less loss on that band.
even RG6 would do better.
Well here I go again. 4604 appears to be Colorado Springs Police, "ENC". Some of the units that I monitored last night were from Falcon Div., but that does not mean much. 4604 is not listed in the data base, or at least I could not find it. I will keep monitoring it and anyone who wants to help is more that welcome. It appears that El Paso county and Colorado springs may have a few new or not previously listed talk groups.
The coax is fine no problem there. I get full bars on the BCD536HP. I am out in Falcon in the county and I get all of the sites in the city even Pueblo and some stuff from Denver. So reception wise I am OK.
ShyFlyer , There is a Monument in El Paso county and the frequencies that are listed are for the Monument in El Paso county. I receive local transmissions from that tower. In older data bases that Monument was listed as the El Paso County Monument Site. There may be a typo? And again I could be wrong, it has happened in the past. But it does need a look see. We need to keep it as accurate as we possible can. I think all would agree. It has been very good in the past, people have been fastidiously editing it and keeping it that way.
Not trying to be a picky or a pest just trying to help.
