We Need Updated and New Database Information for California

[WayneH]

OK, here it is in zip fomat.

Ok, I converted each sheet to PDF and tagged them with your UID. They're each under their respective Agency's Downloads page.


Everyone else, please be patient when submitting information! It is not a point and click system. 98% of the submissions need to be hand typed and then edited for display. This takes time and California is a large State. Please do not use this thread or any other to post your frustrations. Please remember that if you have solid information, submit it, don't wait for us to stumble upon it in the forums. The easier you make it for us the quicker it will get entered in. Thanks!

About 1 MByte each PDF's, latest maps I'm aware of for San Diego City PD and Fire. Don't seem to be any maps in the Database for the city, so here they are.

These have been uploaded to City's Downloads page.

 

[WayneH]

Anyone else with info we've missed?

Thanks, I will update and add information to these as I have time to evaluate
the systems.

Anyone else with info we've missed?

My updated Riverside County Fire freqs on the previous page and a station map on the page before that one.

 

[SkipSanders]

These have been uploaded to City's Downloads page.

Call me silly, but why do 'maps' belong on the 'downloads' page, instead of the 'maps' page? The maps page says 'we have none, please submit'.

When I check for possible maps, I look at the 'Maps' page, and I'd expect that's where others look, too.

 

[WayneH]

Call me silly, but why do 'maps' belong on the 'downloads' page, instead of the 'maps' page? The maps page says 'we have none, please submit'.

Because you gave me a PDF of a map. I cannot upload it to the Maps/Images area as only images are meant for that page.

 

[WayneH]

My updated Riverside County Fire freqs on the previous page and a station map on the page before that one.

Added the map and updated the frequency description.


And a reminder to everyone, please submit frequencies and trunked information via the submission engine first. If after a week it has not shown, and it was not a large, complex submission, please post up here. If you have any other data to submit which can't be sent as a submission post it here; for a speedier action submit that you posted the attachment here. That way things will not get missed.

about Inyo County fire stations that should get added to the Inyo County page.

Yes, it is, now if someone could be nice enough to package it up for me I'll put it into the database.

Ok, done, and submitted under Inyo County.

 

[SloScanMan_01]

How do I submit info for review?

I have a few maps and station/apparatus lists I'd like to submit. How do I attach image files and station or unit lists on the submit page? Also, is there a preferred format I should use? Thanks in advance.

Mammoth Mountain Database Submission

Here are two submissions I made to the database. The first is for clarification of the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area trunked system. It has two conventional channels in all the radios. The first 14 channels are trunked.

Frequency Input Type Description Channel Tone

851.3875 806.3875 R Conventional Repeater 16 D261


The second submission covers the conventional radio use of the Mammoth Mountain and June Mountain Ski Areas along with the callsigns of each.

If the trunked system is extremely busy the Race Department may use any of the junior race team coaching frequencies to conduct races, which can be daily trials by lift pass holders, amateur series, or professional, world cup, Olympic trial races.

Mammoth Mountain Database Submission

Mammoth and June Mountain Ski Areas radio codes.

Codes (some thought to be unique to Mammoth/June)

Code 2 Urgent
Code 3 Life threatening emergency - stay off radio until Code secured
Code Blue Toilet Stopped Up
Burrito Mammoth/June ski patrol uses this term for equipment loaded on a toboggan or sled which carriers the injured. The equipment carried is not known, but probably gets wrapped up in a blanket. MFA Malicious False Alarm * In reference to a reported injury/accident.
RGS Returned to Groomed Surface (Used by Mammoth Snowmobile Adventures)
RTB Returned to Boarding *
RTC Returned to Carpet * (See magic carpet in the definitions below)
RTD Meaning Unknown * (Possibly involves a guest who has been driving or drinking)
RTS Returned to Skiing *
RTW Returned to Walking *
SFR Short Form Release * A liability release signed by a guest who decides not to continue in the ski patrol’s care.

* Ski patrol use for injury/accident disposition

DNF Did Not Finish (Race Department)
DNS Did Not Start (Race Department)
DQ Disqualified (Race Department)

10 codes are standard APCO (Association of Public-safety Communications Officials) except for:

10-21 Call your base
10-43 Message delivered
10-50 Emergency traffic
10-60 Lift stoppage due to unknown reasons
10-C Non-injured guest carried in toboggan towed behind snowmobile w/ski patrol behind toboggan with rope attached for control
10-R Courtesy snowmobile ride for guest
10-75 Accident involving Mountain vehicle/bus
10-83 Lost child
10-100 Bus driver bathroom break

I will make one more submission for terminology used at these ski areas.

Ski Area Teminology and Lingo

I made one last submission to the database and it consists of a multi page glossary that is helpful when listening to the Mammoth Mountain and June Mountain Ski Areas. Many of the terms are used industry wide making the glossary useful at other areas. It took me almost 45 minutes to format the material into the database submission form. The glossary comes from a text document I have of my local scanner information notes. It is rather difficult to format for posting on this thread so I'm going to skip that portion of this database submission. Once it is added to the database everyone will have the chance to look it over to see if I have missed something. I welcome the opportunity to learn from your comments.

I hope the administrators add this submission to the database as it would be most valuable for interpreting the traffic on the radio systems of the June Mountain and Mammoth Mountain Ski Areas as well as others in the U.S.

Future submissions Mono and Inyo Counties/Caltrans/USFS/NPS

I'm between jobs right now, although with all the projects I'm working on around the house, in my workshop, and on my vehicles I don't have much time left, especially considering this is "get ready for winter" time around here. I will try to complete my submissions for Inyo and Mono Counties, Caltrans, and the USFS and NPS. The statewide submission for Caltrans will be based on an extensive and lengthy look I had of one of their handhelds about 18 months ago.

The Caltrans submission will not occur until I have a chance to research all the Caltrans FCC licenses around the state. The handheld alphanumeric display shows the area a channel is to be used in and I want to find out where the repeater is for each channel. This research will be lengthy and will only occur if I continue to be unemployed. Additionally I need a time period where my elderly mother remains stable and not demanding so much of my time.

I will try my best to get these submission in before I hear back on several job applications I have pending. I think I have a lot of useful information that I would like to share.

Sysid:391D

On this new LA (ICIS) system it shows that Pomona PD is encrypted. MOT 37680 Pomona PD blue 1 comes in good and is not encrypted. I'm receiving very well from Newport Beach with a TV roof antenna. Google search sysid: 391D and you will find it easy also, set scanner to table and base to 480.500,380,12.5. john

Richmond/San Pablo/etc. Trunked

I'm pretty sure this post has the updated data correct (though the techs are still fixing problems with the system itself). Should probably be updated in the database.
