No El Cajon CHP Today?

[bhesson]

Been trying to get El Cajon CHP today with no luck been scanning as well as searching NADA any ideas?

I just heard CHP El Cajon Disp, CHP El Cajon Disp (Resident) and CHP El Cajon Tac 1 (Resident) in the past 10 minutes. It appears the Dispatch and Dispatch (Resident) are patched, as they are both sending out the same radio traffic.

I also heard chpeltac1 but just some talk about going to the range tg 38656 but that is it?

 

[Gamefreak88]

I don't recall what the TGID is, but I too heard the conversation about going to the range and shift times. I forget what the other radio traffic was on the other channels, but I was hearing them (although minimally) earlier when I was listening.

Thanks not sure what is going on I even re-downloaded and programmed the rcs CHP ONLY and sites for south and east (work in rancho san diego and live in alpine) status bit on and sent to scanner and still nothing...scratching my head

I haven't heard El Cajon CHP for several weeks, and I work 10 hours a night scanning them. I've had at least 3 occasions where I locked them in but never heard any traffic dispite the CHP CAD page updating the calls.

CHP El Cajon hasn't gone anywhere. Its still on TG 38880 as I type.

What is talkgroup 37888 then? The database lists it as CHP El Cajon.

Paul, the CHP El Cajon office's area of operation is covered by two different simulcast cells on the RCS (East and South). Because of the way the system was configured 10 years ago when CHP joined the system (before the East simulcast was built), their talk groups were split into two sets (East and South).

37888 is South Dispatch. 38880 is East Dispatch. CHP normally keeps them patched.
Hope this helps.

Newer scanners will automatically tune to the correct talk-group, but older scanners like my 796D must have the "dominant" talk-group programmed in to hear the calls.
