Latest CHP Change

[Uplink]

Was hearing West LA units on TAC-3 repeat with the dispatcher this morning "testing the link".

Hearing TAN-2 in full operation in Santa Clarita and sounding great. FINALLY after all these decades they are in REPEAT MODE! oH happy days. I may start listening to CHP for a while, could be fun the next time something big happens...that is....until I get tired of hearing all the licence plates.

:wink:

Thanks for the updates guys!

0pfor2, Do you have the input(car) freq for the list you posted? I still like to hear the cars when I can.

I had it on for a while the other night and heard the first crossover incident since the switch, going from Tan to Brown to Black. It definitely makes it a lot better to listen. It will also make it a lot better for rural mountain situations. But hopefully they will leave them on. I have heard the mobile turned off briefly a couple times.

Well, remember when ICIS was testing, they drove around the area constantly playing a Books on Tape (CD) and recording the locations where performance was poor.

Think I heard west LA on 45.94 today. So maybe still not done with that one.

Pink-2 Cutover

The Pink-2 is cutting over now. 44.62Hmz, PL 186.2

 

[Opfor2]

YES indeed Pink-2 is now up and fully operational. So far it sounds really good from West LA...

 

[scanfan22]

What happened to TEAL?! When is going to switch? and Yellow?

 

[gman65]

What happened to TEAL?! When is going to switch? and Yellow?

Sounds like they will be last. There was mention of Gold moving back and forth today in another forum. West Valley was still on as of a couple of hours ago.

 

[Opfor2]

The old Teal is still working

 

[scanfan22]

So the expected order will be Gold then Yellow then TEAL?! Isn't there an interference issue between TEAL and TAN 2?

 

[scanfan22]

The old Teal is still working

Yep and still sounding like garbage. Man the reception here (North Hollywood) on TEAL is worse than TAN 2 or Yellow.

 

[DPD1]

There was an RP call in, turning to pursuit last night from Brown to Orange, and it really makes things a lot nicer being able to hear both sides now.

 

[scanfan22]

I'm hearing TEAL radio traffic on TAC 4 39.920...
TEAL has been silent and I haven't heard any testing yet on TEAL 2 45.520
I did hear some say "LA test" on TAC 4
Hopefully this means TEAL is next or will soon be moved to TEAL 2

scanfan22:

The Gold-2 became operational today, so it appears the Teal-2 is next.

 

[bryan_herbert]

Testing started on Teal 2 45.5200 about 5 minutes ago. If you miss tonights testing they will resume at 0630 tomorrow morning.

 

[bryan_herbert]

Sounds like the new channels have receivers well outside their designated use areas. I heard one comm tech on Teal 2 check in from the 91 freeway. Another tech headed west along the 118 and was still clear as a bell as he cruised the 23 through Moorpark and Thousand Oaks. Tomorrow morning they plan on doing a Teal 2 tour along the coast.

The DC units said they were running only 50 to 60 watts on the mobiles.
