DTRS Feed

Thanks it's a constant challenge not too add to many police id's which talk too much but at the same time keep it interesting. I also run it remotely from 100 miles away so don't want it too crowded where you can't follow an incident when something really hits the fan.

Who are you hearing on the Grand Junction site? I monitored that site for about four hours while up on Grand Mesa last week with my PRO-96 and the only traffic I heard was the State Telecom guys. If my dial-up connection didn't suck so bad I would try to log in and listen.

Grand Junction DTRS

And I monitored the online feed last night for about 3 hours without a single peep, from what I hear there is no DTRS use on the Western Slope yet except for limited in Montrose.

Hi Jim, you get around!!!

That was what I thought, the only stuff I heard on the western slope was Montrose PD 8073-8076 and 8001 and 8016 on the state tower on Waterdog and the City system on Sunset Mesa. While driving through Gunnison I heard no traffic at all. CSP is still using VHF on the western slope. Saquache and Del Norte are the southwestern most towers so far, and the licence for them are still pending.

>Interesting Mark and I agree, also the DTRS is very active in the San Luis Valley from Alamosa up towards Salida my radios were picking up almost constant traffic. But SW, NW and West in - general are still VHF. So I was susprised to see a dedicated DTRS feed from the Western Slope appear recently.

Yes Jim, the CSP is still using VHF on the western slope, even Montrose dispatch which is still using 154.755 (Raspberry and Waterdog Rigdes) and DOW is still using 151.190. I'm finally catching up on my notes from our recent trip up through southern Colorado and New Mexico. My overall impression of new State of Colorado 9600 baud ASTRO trunked radio system is good, at least on the eastern slope. We started receiving the Trinidad site as soon as we crossed over the Colorado border NB on I-25. We had continuous coverage with various sites all the way up I-25 to San Isabel Lake west of Rye. Coverage was spotty on the Deer Peak and Colorado City sites along Highways 165 and 96 until reaching Westcliff then we picked up the Coaldale site. Coverage in the Arkansas River canyon east of Salida was spotty until reaching Salida then the Methodist Mnt. site came in and covered our drive up the east side of Monarch Pass. Didn’t pick up Monarch Pass site until almost up to the top of the pass, and didn’t receive Gunnison until about 5 miles east of town. However, Monarch Pass covered our trip from the top of the pass down to Gunnison. I tried continuously to pick up the pending FCC approval Saguache County (Buffalo Pass) site but had no luck. The Montrose state site on Waterdog Mnt. provides coverage from Delta almost up to Hotchkiss on Highway 92. Had to get to Crawford on Hwy 92 to receive Montrose again. Both Montrose sites can be heard in Cedaredge. I picked up the Meeker, Eagle, Grand Junction and Glenwood Springs sites up on the top of Grand Mesa where the trout fishing was excellent BTW! The Whitewater site was receivable in Delta. When you’re receiving the system, its great, but digital is either there or it isn’t. Receiver capability is much better with an actual ASTRO transmitter, but I was surprised by the good reception with my PRO-96. Coverage on the eastern slope is much better than I expected. The state is currently using existing tower sites for the 800 system (according to my research using Steet Atlas and matching grid coordinates) and the FCC licenses state they can use 100 watts. I suspect they are using every bit of that. It is my opinion that additional sites will be needed to gain the same coverage that existed using the old VHF system, but the extra power at the site transmitters may make up for that.

Traffic heard:

-Trinidad & Walsenburg areas: CSP 2D Dispatch and TAC channels (Pueblo Dispatch) Trinidad PD on 44, 45, and Trinidad PW on 49, Walsenburg PD on 1200, CDOT on 2651, 2652, 2653, Lathrop Lake State Park talking about campsites on 2684 & 2686.

-Colorado City, Rye and San Isabel: CSP 2A Dispatch and TAC (Pueblo Dispatch) &

2651 CDOT Dispatch Trinidad
2652 CDOT Trinidad (Ch2)
2653 CDOT Trinidad (Ch3)
2684 Lathrop Lake State Park (Trinidad)
-Beulah on Hwy 78 (Cheyene Mnt. Site); 1033 Douglas CO SO, 1930 Weld CO SO and 1053 Centennial (S. Metro) FD.

-New Talkgroups:

8073 Montrose PD Dispatch
8074 Montrose PD Ch2 (Animal Control Officers dispatched on this group)
8075 Montrose PD Ch3
8076 Montrose PD TAC
*Montrose PD talkgroups are simulcast on both the City system on Sunset Mesa and the state system on Waterdog Mnt. The only other traffic I heard was a momentary transmission on TG 8001 & 8016, which is the western slope radio techs and prisoner transport.

*I heard no traffic at all on the Gunnison site as we were driving through. The only traffic I heard on the Grand Junction site was a conversation on one of the State Telecom talkgroups.

*All of the sites below were received and verified by me with the PRO-96.

Cool. I recently made a road trip to Albuquerque along I-25 south and when I got south of Pueblo, opened up my DTRS bank on the 96. I started getting a lot of TG 44 and 1200. I was trying to figure out what they were and now I know.

Ooops, need to correct a few things:

Control channel for Walsenburg should be 868.5500

And T020A Montrose (Waterdog Peak) 868.2625 is actually on Storm King Mountain in Ouray County but covers Montrose.

Heard the State DTR Radio Techs talking today on one of their talkgroups about bringing up the "San Anton" site. I assume they mean San Antonio Mtn south of Antonito, Colo. I'm too far away to hear it though.

Tracker1,

Good catch, they are probably talking about the site in New Mexico, Taos County, atop San Antonio Peak at N365134.1 W1060106.01. Call sign: WQAW901

Frequencies:
866.1250
866.6375
866.8000
867.0750
868.4125
868.7750

its 14 miles north of Tres Peidras just west of Highway 285. Take a drive down there and report to us the control channel and tower ID number!!! :wink:
