Stockton Fire Changes?

[Ben96cal]

Has Stockton changed anything regarding their frequencies? I don't know if it's my UHF antenna having issues or something else but i pick up Milpitas fire perfectly but Stockton is a garbled mess. Using the freq in database 460.6250 with a pl of 186.2... this has cropped up in the past 1-2 months...

hmmm wonder if the altamont is doing funny stuff. Any new equipment installed that could affect?

Picking them up fine today, at least control 1. At least for me, Control 2 has had the same issue you describe. Also noticed they moved their drills to Channel 5 (Digital) from the usual Control 3.

This may have something to do with them moving to P25.

Project Description

The City of Stockton will transition from its current analog voice radio system to a digital voice radio system. This primarily involves the Police Department (PD) and Fire Department (FD); however, the radio systems of the Municipal Utilities Department and Public Works Department will also eventually be converted to digital. The City has contracted with Delta Wireless for this project and it is being managed by City Information Technology.

Access codes not known to general public.. Do they really think this or is this something new coming down the pipe?

-------------------
How will this affect those using scanners?
Most scanners will no longer be capable of monitoring our channels. In order for a scanner to access our digital channels, it must be digital-capable and programmed with our unique access code(s). Those access codes will not normally be made available to members of the general public.

confirming the database is correct with pl 186.2?

Yes. The P25 stuff in the link only refers to PD for now.
