CHP San Diego region tuning, North county, south county

[helvis]

Quick question here:
I was wondering about the programming configuration to listen to CHP. I live in Oceanside. I assume I program the north tower freq's for CHP scanning Oceanside area. I assume that I will program the south tower freq's for CHP activity south of the hwy 52. Is this correct? How would I go about programming for east county monitoring...which tower? OR does one tower relay all the radio traffic from all the CHP areas in san diego? I figured I would ask before my fingers fall off again thanks scanner dudes!

The only CHP area on the RCS is the El Cajon Area; their talkgroups are found on the South and East simulcast cells. Oceanside and San Diego office activities are on the CHP low band system (TAN1 for Oceanside, ORANGE1 for San Diego).

CHP tuning

Thanks K6CDO. Would you happen to know if I need to program squelch modes and squelch codes? If there are any what should I program. I programmed the Oceanside TAN and SD orange and I don't hear anything.
Thanks

Yes I have a similar question... What do I need to do to listen to CHP in the north county area??? I have a Pro-106/GRE PSR-500. Can this radio listen to the low band freqs or what? Are they just conventional or are they part of a talk system? All I really care about is dispatch, not car to car. I've tried programming in conventional freq. 39.80000 and heard absolutely nothing even though the signal strength is strong. Thanks.

39.800 is used in Oceanside/Temecula
You need an outdoor antenna to pick up low band. There is so much RFI from computers, network equipment, etc. that could be blocking reception. If you can pull in low band signals from indoors using stock antenna, then consider yourself very lucky!

San Diego office covers I-15 clear up to about Via Rancho and on I-5 up to about the Del Mar exit. Oceanside will cover north of those points

To the east on I-8 San Diego handles out to La Mesa.
