BAYMACS Frequencies

[officer_415]

BAYMACS is active tonight for the Trump rally protests in San Jose. The following channels are active with the same traffic:

155.4750 MHz - 156.7 PL (BAYMACS VHF / VLAW 31)
460.1000 MHz - 136.5 PL (SJPD Channel 9)
482.3375 MHz - 114.8 PL (BAYMACS 480)
852.5125 MHz - 156.7 PL (BAYMACS 800 / 8TAC93)

Nothing on 460.025 MHz (CALAW 4), which was previously listed as BAYMACS UHF. Does anyone know if SJPD Channel 9 has replaced this frequency?

Maybe the DB should be updated? BAYMAC 800 was rebanded a long time ago.

I submitted an update for that. I'm wondering if anyone has information about the BAYMACS UHF frequency.

Are you referring to 482.3375? If so, it's still active. I was listening to that one during the rally.

There should be a 460 frequency and a 480 frequency; I'm referring to the 460 frequency. Apparently it used to be 460.025 (CALAW 4), but there was no traffic on that frequency during the rally. I'm thinking it has been replaced by 460.100 (SJPD Channel 9).

SJPD 9 was the "Primary" Channel. Baymacs was patched to SJPD 9, or vice versa, depending how you look at it.
I could be wrong, but I believe there is no longer a 460 frequency. The majority of agencies still on UHF are on TBand (480 Baymacs). The others use SVRCS Interops or Baymacs 800 or VHF.

That would make sense. I found this thread from 2010, and there was no 460 frequency active either:
