Stockton PG&E

[russianspd]

With the inclement weather we have been having and the fiasco from yesterday, I tried to load PG&E into my scanner. From the scant amount of info available back in 2016 no scanner could decode MPT-1327 systems. Has that changed? I use a BCD325P2. I do have this channel plugged in :

158.250

KMD565

BM

110.9 PL

PG&E Stockton

Electric Operations

But there wasn't anything happening. This was the system I loaded in through Freescan using the import trunked feature:

Pacific Gas and Electric (PGE) Trunking System, Various, California

Pacific Gas and Electric (PGE) Trunking System Profile

Thanks in advanced.

If you’re in Stockton, I’d recommend trying to program all the Mt Oso site frequencies in, and then lock out the active control channel. MPT-1327 is a very old trunking system so the calls generally stay on one frequency rather than hopping around a lot. You won’t see the talkgroup ID or radio IDs but it will definitely be better than nothing.

Thanks for this info. Will go back and reprogram and let you know if and when I pick anything up. Cheers!
