Imperial County - Brawley-El Centro Area

[Heidi750]

Once again I'm preparing to head south into Imperial County to get away from the snow and cold.

Over the past few years I have been unable to hear any of the emergency services in and around the Niland, Brawley and the El Centro (Salton Sea) area ...

So I'm wondering if anyone can pass along a few helpful hints.
ie. Highway Patrol, Sheriff, Fire, city Emergency Services

I have the San Diego RCS system loaded along with most of the talk groups from RR along with the Superstition Mtn, Brawley, El Centro, Black Mtn, Salton City Sites but seem to be missing something.
I have it all entered via Butel software so I believe it's automatically entered as a splinter group.

The Niland Fire Dept comes into our park very often ... and I've caught them occasionally on the County Call channel ... but I believe they also have other channels or talk groups.

I've also done shopping in Brawley & El Centro and hung out there most of the day ... but have never heard anything from the local police or fire.

Any help would be much appreciated.
If you have any files for the Butel ARC XT-PRO to load into my 996XT that would be even better.

Thanks

Don't forget about the conventionals- ICFD still pages on the old 154.4300, they rebanded it, and will continue to use it. Niland may be on conventional VHF, they were at least kina rebels, and gave back the County engine statioined there somne years back, however recent news is they are going to contract with County fire because they have no money. Rumors of them going into Winterhaven also. That would make 7 or 8 stations for the county:
1- Airport/Imperial City
2-South of I8 south of the mall
3-West county Plaster city/ NAF area
4-Holtville
5-Palo Verde
6-Occitillo
7-Niland(maybe)

Make sure you have the county fire talkgroups and all the commands and tacs. Also Gold Cross Tg

If you PM me I can double check your frequencies.
