Are there any radio service agency that operates from 66.00Mhz to 88.00MHz in the state of California?
Police, Fire, Medical, Ambulance, State agency and so on. Please advise thank You. Daniel

There used to be some links around 72-74 mhz used by CHP and Caltans.

54-72 is TV channels 2, 3, and 4
72-76 is radio control, and usually link transmitters, though they're fairly rare these days.
76-88 is TV channels 5 and 6.

You might find a few bugs in the TV channels, but they will be extremely low power, and short ranged.

Just on checking the FCC, there are 582 licenses listed for the ULS Database from 72-76 MHz in California.

I use 70mhz to listen to CHP mobile in Monterey county works great.

 

[SkipSanders]

Since I see you're in Stockton, which would be San Joaquin County, I further refined the search. There are 11 licenses for 72-76 MHz in San Joaquin County.

Are TV stations still using 54-72 & 76-88 MHz since they switched to digital?

54-72 is TV channels 2, 3, and 4
72-76 is radio control, and usually link transmitters, though they're fairly rare these days.
76-88 is TV channels 5 and 6.

You might find a few bugs in the TV channels, but they will be extremely low power, and short ranged.

Just on checking the FCC, there are 582 licenses listed for the ULS Database from 72-76 MHz in California.

 

[SkipSanders]

Yes, those are still TV channels. DTV adjusted only some of the old UHF channels away from TV.

Are TV stations still using 54-72 & 76-88 MHz since they switched to digital?

Over-the-air TV in the USA is still using channels 2 to 51. What was previously known as TV channels 52 to 69 are now the 700 MHz band.

While most people think that all over-the-air TV is digital, IT IS NOT. There are still tons of low power analog TV signals on the air. This issue was even overlooked by some people in the industry who orignally approved converter boxes. Later they came back with "analog pass thru" so that these low power stations could be received with converters connected.

I will also comment that the number of broadcasters using channels 2 to 6 for ATSC in the USA is low because interference/etc in that band plays havoc with ATSC. But they are there as well as analog. And don't forget that many cable systems are still analog within those frequencies, and an unterminated cable can broadcast a short distance.
