Salem Oregon Scanner Question

[midnightcaller]

Is Salem Oregon still on conventional frequencies or are they on a trunk system?,if so is it a APO-25

I'm going to set up a scanner for a friend of mine

Dispatch is still on 460.475, conventional analog, ctcss code is 192.8. I’m listening to them right now. They are also crosspatched to the Ore State Radio system, and I believe also to the 800 MHz trunk system they have in Salem, which I don’t receive well here in Portland so I never listen to it.

Refer to https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?ctid=2228 Those are all conventional frequencies.

Salem Fire, public works, transit is on 800mhz legacy Motorola trunked. https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=4834

Some Salem area frequencies are patched to the new OSRP.

I saw some Salem officers with some APX8000 portables. I asked them if they were changing frequencies. They said they were going to a 800 MHz digital system later this year.

I have had no success here in Albany, trying to hear Salem PD or Marion SO-except Dispatch 3 for Marion. I have an HPD 436 and a 396T. Not sure if their antenna is in a low spot or what.

Dispatch 3 is what they are using because Dispatch 1 has had voter issues.
When I am in Salem, I can get Albany digital if I am a few floors up and get Linn Sheriff if the weather is right. I am using a Motorola XTS5000 for the digital and a XTS2500 for the conventional VHF.

Anyone in Albany or Corvallis that is able to hear Salem PD without an outside antenna?
