There are 4 mountain top repeater sites simulcast together. So each site carries all the traffic. This simulcast causes some problems with reception if you get in an area when you get mutliple signals (most of the valley) you will get multi-path which causes reception to be poor. There is a 5th mountain site (Tinker Mountain) but it is not part of the trunking system. It is conventional only but still on 800 MHz and part of the overall system (it is most if not all of the public safety radios).
