I visit the Los Angeles area on regular basis. Out of curiosity, knowing that most of the area is digital now, I scan for public safety analog transmissions which are few and far between nowadays. Anyway, while scanning, I came across both Monrovia (158.730) and South Pasadena (470.9875) police dispatch both in the clear on what I thought were their old channels, conducting normal business. Both are listed in the database as being dispatched by ICI. Also, per the database, South Pasadena's FCC license WRCA356, expired back in 2019. Does anyone know if they are still transitioning? I'm very naive when it comes to these consolidated public safety dispatch outfits. Is there a trial period, like a cooling off period, whereas if your not satisfied that you can break the contract and go back to being dispatched by your own department? Inquiring minds want to know! Thank you.
