Tyrolean site activity?

[BMDaug]

I’m looking for the most active site in Summit, covering Breckinridge area. I’m expanding my NAS personality and I don’t spend enough time up there to do any SDR scanning or anything, but I’d like to be able to hear CSP and all local leos and first responders. I have a group set all made up with the TGs I want to hear, I just need to know which site y’all recommend for the area. Tyrolean looks like it covers the area I’m usually in, but there are a couple that are pretty close together.

Thanks,
B

I can't attest for Tyrolean or some of the other sites in/around Summit Co yet. From my location near Summit Cove the Keystone site has the strongest signal and is usually my go-to for listening simply for a higher decode rate.

Lake Hill:
-Always carries SC LAW, SC ES, SC TONE, and CSP 4C
-Pretty much always carries SC 3 thru SC 9 when in use
-Also frequently carries NW net (lots of chatter between dispatch centers whenever they close/open Glendwood canyon).
-Frequently gets affiliations form Grand/Eagle Co

Keytone:
-Always carries SC LAW, SC ES, SC TONE
-CSP is hit or miss, usually only when a trooper is on Hwy 6 on or close to Loveland pass.
-SC 3 thru SC 9 are usually hit or miss when in use
-This is a 700-only site, I rarely see Grand or Eagle Co on this site (possibly because they have 800mhz only radios in use)


I use a BCD996XT that I remotely control with proscan to listen remotely. I assign my quick keys based on site so I can easily toggle different ones on/off. From my location Lake Hill can be a little garbled so I typically monitor with the Keystone site - if an interesting call comes in I usually try to monitor the SC 3 thru 9 channel that gets assigned on that site first, if it doesn't affiliate I then turn on Lake Hill.

SC 3 thru 9 seem to be assigned based on geography (likely from when they were using VHF OPS channels). If a call gets assigned one of those channels in the Breck area it will likely be on Tyrolean.


Also, if you have the capability to monitor the other DMR/NXDN formats the resort/MC&E systems have plenty of stuff to be discovered on them still. Last week I found 3 or 4 new talkgroups on the MC&E Tier-3 system in use by Keystone Resort. If you program those in be sure to leave your scanner in open or search mode. Did you know that if you drive a golf ball through someone's window on the Keystone golf course they make the homeowner pay to replace it?

Thanks for this! I come up the Breck for work and I want to monitor public safety but I don’t have much time to explore the sites via SDR. I don’t monitor anything but P25, but I’m not surprised about the golf course policy… You pay a premium to live there and should understand what that means LOL! I’m gonna start with Tyrolean, Keystone, and Lake Hill sites and see where that goes.
