OK, but that doesn't help with identifying for certain if and when and what they are doing or now have for their communications. Thanks anyways, was an interesting read.
Much appreciated. Will dial that in and see. Living on the west upper side of the County I doubt I'll get anything. RPD and EPD barely come in on my car unit when mobile.
I would say so, yes. I listened for over a day and it was all Lathrop PD based on traffic and addresses. This morning apparently County Dispatch was acting up and 453.3125 with a NAC 701 which is listed as TAC 32 covering Lathrop/Manteca was being used for dispatches. It's listed already but seeing as how it's also listed in the freqs RadioBern posted, I think it can be added into the Lathrop group itself. I think they are still being Dispatched by County. Still have to figure out these two: 453.475, and 453.775
As of about 10 ago they are still using 453.3125 to dispatch locally and they had a call in Ripon and had them change to Command 6 for that. Obviously not enough to make a solid decision about how they will use that channel. Will keep listening.
I will dedicate more time listening to County fire for awhile to verify but I have never heard them use Command 5. Has always been Command 3 or 6.
You're also in Stockton, right? I find that in order to even barely receive LPD, you need to be in an "optimal" radio spot where even the troublesome channels come in nicely. For me it's either outside in my backyard or upstairs next to the window or if I am downstairs in a very specific spot that I spent quite a bit of time trying to balance being able to catch all of my troublesome frequencies where they come in nicely. I'm located northwest side of Stockton south of Hammer. Hope this helps.
Thank you much for the final clarification. Makes much more sense now. So SCD is just for Tracy and Tracy area and then everyone else such as Escalon, Ripon, and Manteca fall onto command 6 but still dispatched through control 1?
