I've been getting bad interference on the DFW So Cal frequency (151.43) in my car (which I programmed with carrier squelch), and now that scanners have more channels available than needed, I want to program each DFW site to its own channel with the appropriate CTCSS tone. Since they encode CTCSS on the output, this should work. In doing some listening to confirm the sites in my area, it seems the listing for "Oat Mtn - 167.9 PL tone" is referred to over the air by the wardens as "TORREY". Torrey is listed in the DB as tone 162.2 however. In checking RR's "FCC Listings" page, there isnt a mention of an Oat Mtn site or license. So I'm guessing the Oat Mtn listing should be removed from the DB and Torrey's CTCSS tone switched to 167.9. Can anyone confirm this? I didn't want to submit a correction to the DB without some sort of confirmation as I'm not sure why Oat was included in the DB.
FWIW, I think Oat *should* be part of the system, as I've seen DFW trucks all over LA, including Downtown at the courthouses. Not sure what channel they would be using, I'd guess Blackjack or Santiago.
