Ocotillo Wells Freqs??

[Rekd]

I'm a new Pro 106 owner and will be going to the desert Tuesday for a week or so and would like to get the freq's for the EMS and Rangers in that area. Any help would be appreciated.

(I found superstition mountain in the DB but that's pretty far away)

What county is that in ?

Have you checked the database for the county and statewide freqs ?

Sorry but never heard of the place.

OK, I googled it.. try this for State Parks

857.12500 115 DPL PINK Inland and Desert area

BONE High Desert District 868.5375 DPL 115

Looking at the AAA San Diego Region map, it appears as though Ocotillo Wells SVRA is partially in San Diego County and partially in Imperial County. This map lists a phone number for "Imperial County Dispatch" so I would assume they have primary jurisdiction over the area.

Imperial County is part of the San Diego County RCS system so you may want to include that in your Pro-106 as well. I'm not familiar enough with that system to tell you what part of the RCS needs to be programmed so maybe someone from that area can chime in and clue us in.

Most of the traffic is on the SD County RCS system. You can put in the East loop and listen for Imperial Sheriffs office. I have heard that is not the best way though because there are a lot of sites in Imp Co. that are not part of the east loop. These sites do not simulcast so you have to be listening to the site that the mobiles are associated with. The Black Mtn site would probably be better for O'wells than Superstition.

I stay over in the Plaster City or Superstition areas so I don't know what you'll hear in O'wells. I am going to be out there this week as well for an offroad race. The pits and start/finish is at Plaster City West.

Good luck, have fun, and be safe.

P.S. Don't forget the BLM freqs.

IIRC, LE for the area should be on SDSO Rural Dispatch. It's often patched to Poway and I think another one so you have to be careful you have the right TG's in.
