You probably will find success with Oat Mountain, but a UHF signal for Lancaster will be blocked by the western edge of the San Gabriel Mountains. Most of the Palmdale/Lancaster area is carried by an electronic site on Hauser Peak, which is higher than anything else in the the valley area of the north county, but is low as compared to the San Gabriel Mtns.
Can confirm these patches are active (of course only when someone is affiliated with the site). 1067 was active on Downtown 700 tonight, clear audio, much better than what I hear over on the UHF freqs from my location.
I would honestly love to see every channel patched over, but then again it’s likely not going to be used by anyone but the admin side so not worth the trouble.

The UHF COUNTYWIDE is terrible the other DISPATCH freq come in better ( CARSON)
Hello Friends!
Just curious how some of you feel about the future monitoring opportunities of the LA-RICS system as it expands and completes. With the Big E always being an issue and on our minds, do we feel that there will always be enough in the clear to make it an enjoyable system to monitor or how concerned should we be? Thoughts?
Thanks!

Does the SU send a message when it turns off so the site knows it no longer needs to TX that TG traffic?

The "Big E", is what it is...LASD is the main reason most of us would want to monitor LA-RICS, and at this point, all of the L-TACS, A-TACS, etc are encrypted. Dispatch is supposed to remain in the clear for now. Dispatch is being simulcast on UHF so far. I mainly monitor LACoFD and they have taken over many conventional UHF frequencies that formerly belonged to the Sheriffs. I'm not rushing to buy a Phase-2 capable scanner until I see what is happening with the Ventura Co TRS.
From my brief observations, yes. The S-meter on the display gives it away. For example, change talkgroup: *TX*, turn radio on *TX*, turn radio off *TX*... then shuts off.

Yes it does, if powered down properly. It won't help if a battery dies on a portable or a mobile loses power if a battery timer shuts things down.
Well, what are you trying to listen to?
90%+ of the traffic on the system is going to be encrypted
You can only hear the non-encrypted traffic. If you look at the Mode column in the database here, "DE" means the talkgroup is completely encrypted, "De" means both encrypted and non-encrypted traffic may be heard, and "D" means it's all non-encrypted. There's not much non-encrypted traffic.
1006 ($3EE) was patched from County Fire dispatch as of a couple months ago.

Yes I’m trying to listen monitor sheriff dispatch so according to this that is D which is digital not encrypted. Yet I don’t hear anything even though on Analog I hear audio something isn’t right but I dunno what !?
LASD primary dispatch is still over on UHF. LA-RICS is used as an alternative option for dispatch talkgroups only at this point.
