I have very limited space in my condo and a computer and scanner devoted to a stream is probably something I cannot justify financially. If I were to have a stream I have an entire bank devoted to natural resource agencies. I can't pick up any NDF traffic, but I can pick up one repeater on the Carson City District of the BLM. I can pick up one repeater on one Yosemite NP frequency.
I can hear fire agencies from Topaz to Bishop on the repeater nets and tactical in Mammoth. I can't pick up any National Park traffic except that one Yosemite repeater. Devil's Postpile works simplex and Mammoth Mountain and the deepness of the middle fork San Joaquin River canyon blocks my reception. I can pick up the Cal Fire Silver Peak and Conway Summit repeaters, although the traffic on the latter is almost non-existent. Most of their traffic occurs on Silver anyway. I can pick up one repeater on the Sierra National Forest on both nets.
I like to listen to natural resource agency traffic above all else.
Moderator, this post belongs in the California wide forum. The eastern Sierra is not in the Sacramento area. Could you please move it?
