San Diego Help . .

[MCIAD]

Doing a little mini-vacation in the San Diego area, and am looking for the *very* few VHF agencies left. I know CDF .. er .. Cal Fire is 151.190, and Escondido Fire still simulcast their dispatching on 154.325 (or do they?), but I don't know if Inland Fire (154.175) is still VHF, or if anything else simulcasts VHF/800.

I would appreciate anyone clearing these muddy waters for me . . .

Thanks . . .

CDF is still CDF, they're just 'called' Cal Fire now. Trendy, eh?

Other than them (and some of their traffic is on the county RCS 800 trunk, now, as well!), there's not a lot of conventional police/fire around San Diego now. Volunteer Fire is County RCS now, 'Heartland Fire' talkgroups.

If you want police/fire, you require 800 Trunked in this county. Analog for San Diego PDFD, Digital for the law enforcement agencies on the County RCS.

Some ambulance company 'business' channels, perhaps.

CHP is still on low band conventional, all repeated now.

News media on mostly 450, still. Try listening to the news stringers on 462.650 for 'alerts' on breaking fire and other news.

Otherwise, you're talking business users, aircraft, railroads (San Diego Trolley can be interesting), pretty much 'the dregs'.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I guess I am going to be listening to CDF - and that's it.

Wasn't CHP on the RCS if I can remember?

You can still hear Escondido fire 'Dispatch calls only' on the Green Freq (154.325).
You wont hear the fire units on it.

Thanks . . .

only El Cajon CHP is on the RCS county trunked system.

 

[SkipSanders]

Sorry, right, Eastern (El Cajon) CHP is on the County RCS as well, though they do also have a low band repeater, used when the units get further east and out of RCS coverage.

462.650 stringers "yellow" channel as Skip mentioned... great for incident notification

Other than that not really much else in the conventional freq.

All around CA? Los angeles info? what kind of incidents?

No, San Diego predominantly. LA has its own cliques.

 

[landonjensen]

You happen to have LA ones? Anyone that does feel free to PM me so we dont go off topic on this thread. Thanks

No, San Diego predominantly. LA has its own cliques.

It's california, it's on topic... sorta, right?

I don't monitor the LA area, being behind a mountain to them, but, you might try these for the LA area:

California Fire Photographer's Association

CFPA "yellow" 471.9375
CFPA "red" 472.2125
CFPA "gold" 461.0250
CFPA "blue" 471.1875
CFPA "white" 471.2625

Of those listed below only 472.2125 131.8 Hz is good anymore. Their channel 2 is 471.6375 103.5 Hz.
