Clark County area miscellaneous

[bryan_herbert]

Was searching for freqs and came across a couple I did not see in the RadioReference database.

151.0250 203.5 PL -- Active, short comms. One piece of traffic made reference to having 25 passengers. Did a state database search on RR, nothing came up. Searched the FCC database for Clark County and it shows this freq being licensed to Southern Nevada Water System.

154.0550 703 DPL -- Very active, long comms. Lots of names, references to parental visits. Did a state database search on RR, nothing came up. Searched the FCC database for Clark County and it shows this freq being licensed to Clark County. The first transmitter location listed on the FCC license is no longer owned by Clark County, the second location is a law library, the third location is the juvenile detention center here in Las Vegas. I went ahead and submitted info for the third location to the database.

173.6750 47C NAC -- I cant find any references to this frequency being used in Nevada. I found some notes on it being used in Utah but they're using CTCSS, not NAC. Its definitely law enforcement, Robert units heard, possibly USFS, BLM or NPS rangers. Hearing Nevada license plates and hunting permits being ran.

The 173.6750 is BLM (Bureau of Land Management) in our area as noted at The Fed Files blog:

The Fed Files Blog: Las Vegas, Southern Nevada List

A lot of great info there to add to your collection if you don't already have some of it, he makes regular trips to the Las Vegas area and seems to find new things every visit.

165.4125 DCS 754 cant find it on here or Fed Files. Appears to be maintenance, made references to building card reader errors after yesterdays wide area power outage.

173.6750 NAC 47C is BLM Red Rock Canyon, was very active during last weekends SAR

You'll also hear our tax dollars at work tending to the needs of troubled little dears on 158.820 DCSs 223 & 244.
And in-case anyone needs a UHF dose of birth-control you can listen to the Clark County School District Crisis Center (yet another secure facility for demented youth in our area) on 452.9875/DCS072.

165.4125 is some sort of campus. Last week I heard "the air-conditioner in CHL-450 is down." The repeater seems fairly high-profile. The power outage may have been wide-area, but it certainly didn't affect the entire area, so knowing what area was impacted will provide a clue.


As for 173.675, while most of the time, the Ranger(s) focus on the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, I have heard them responding to/patrolling around other federal land in Clark County.

Vice-President Joe Biden was in Las Vegas today, I didn't know about him stopping by for an event at UNLV (along with Lady Gaga, go figure). Because I'm currently using OSX the only SDR software I can basically make use of is GQRX and it's not nearly as capable as SDR# is (which I might be able to run using Mono, will have to look at that in a few days). I went out for some fresh air today and was standing on the balcony of my apartment building when I noted one police vehicle at a corner of the block on one side, another vehicle at another corner (Fremont), another as Las Vegas Blvd, basically surrounding the area and thought "Ok, something's up here..."

Then another vehicle pulled up at my corner, just underneath me on the 3rd floor balcony and both officers hopped out and started directing traffic since there's an actual traffic light at this particular corner. A few minutes later (was trying to listen into LVMPD using Scanner Radio on my phone at that time but knowing the activity I was witnessing would probably be on an encrypted non-Dispatch channel ended up being true) I heard one officer yell out "He's coming..." and then I turned back toward the one lone vehicle on the far corner and then I saw... well, the video covers it pretty much (there's no audio because the wind was blowing and hitting the mic too bad, totally mucked it up so I just muted the audio track):

Would have been interesting to have heard some of the chatter going on but, sometimes you just miss the action and other times - completely by accident - you catch something else like this motorcade rolling by unexpectedly.

The power outage may have been wide-area, but it certainly didn't affect the entire area, so knowing what area was impacted will provide a clue.

Over 20,000 NV Energy customers across the valley lost power, the largest concentration centered around the UNLV campus.

New LVMPD Area Command going 'live' soon!

New LVMPD Spring Valley Area Command opening Monday - Story

LVMPD > Find Nearest Command > Spring Valley

SVAC Area & Beat Map: http://www.lvmpd.com/Portals/0/SVAC_AreaMap_082716.pdf


Any day now, I hope they'll revise their main Area & Beat map:
http://www.lvmpd.com/Portals/0/pdfs/AC_SB_Map_020213.pdf

Based on some traffic heard last week, SVAC Dispatch may utilize talk group 10110.

 

[br0adband]

From that article:

This new command post is expected to increase police response time.

I'm pretty sure they mean decrease response time but, mistakes happen.

(note: I sent an email to the article writer about that so she might just fix it to say decrease, just in case she does)

 

[gonefishn1]

Will they be on the P25 radio system?

 

[br0adband]

Well, it's another command for LVMPD so I expect the answer would be "Yes, of course" so we'll probably see a new talkgroup assigned for the Spring Valley command area soon enough. Only seems logical they would do that, but it's up to them I suppose, as adding all those new units to the Enterprise command wouldn't make much sense in terms of organization considering.

 

[gonefishn1]

Oh right, new talk group, same repeaters and freqs.

SPVAC

I have been listening to 10110 and haven't heard any traffic.
Apparently they have SpringValleyCommand somewhere because there is no traffic for the new sector beat on Enterprise.
Anyon know what the new TG is ?

 

[FOUR_ADAM_30]

As time passed i found SVAC on 10088.

 

[Hooligan]

As time passed i found SVAC on 10088.

I caught them on 10088 when I turned the scanner on at around 6PM yesterday. I wonder what the very first
dispatch run for SVAC was? Probably some crazy naked person dancing on a street or something.

10110 was heard testing radios -- contexts seemed to be they just programmed some "cruisers" with that TG and were doing a quick test from each one. That's why I was thinking it may be the new SVAC channel.

 

[bryan_herbert]

If 10110 goes encrypted after tomorrow it could be Spring Valley's tac channel

Not exactly on topic but now that I have your attention regarding the area commands, what command would I best monitor when staying center strip (Paris / Bellagio ). I always get mixed up when I get out there. Seems like some command areas overlap.
Thanks All

 

[Yokoshibu]

So I can find a beat map for LVMPD, obtw the new one is posted with svac incorporated.... so what about NLVPD... do they hide the darn thing or what?

Convention Center is the main part of the strip (Everything from the Mandalay bay up past Circus Circus to Sahara).
