Very interesting! Same sort of thing happened to me while watching Sacramento's channel three or Oakland's channel two from a ridge top home on the coast at Albion Ca. After turning the beam we could

No, I haven’t, but will, thank you. Tim

Like many wide coverage departments, frequencies were 'shared' within that department, using distance to stop (most) interference and different input frequencies as well (not

Have you tried turning the CTCSS detect off, or put it into search mode for a tone for that entry? If you use search, it will display the tone and if it's different, you can email

Ok, will try that and see what happens, thanks! Tim

Try putting the channel in manually and see if you hear anything. (CHANNEL - FREQ - CHANNEL) Joe M.

I’m rather perplexed and am hoping for some assistance from those who truly understand scanning today. I live in a city located at the corner of four counties which I have programmed into my 436HP,

When i worked Kelleys Island Police Department back in the late 80s, early 90s; CHP would “Skip” on 39.24.

70 MHz band and they've been there forever. Used for intersite linking.

You could be right, OCD sounds familiar. Too many years and cobwebs in the head. Unfortunately I didn’t have the foresight to make recordings. Wish I had. Don

If you've got a computer program for scanner try saving all your frequencies and then do a reset to clear everything.

ah how technology has changed I've worked on an IBM 24 card punch, a Tabulator (chunky line printer that also did some math, an IBM 360, a Univac 1100, a VAX, a PowerPC, a Sun E10K,, Sun 6500, 3300,

Thank you so very much!! I am in Mississippi, and I may just take you up on that Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail on Android

Hello Joe: When I was ten years old, Santa Claus brought me a Lafayette handheld VHF high band transistor radio, turning the dial was all that was needed to tune-in and hear my local fire/police

OCFA (Orange County Fire Authority) and also MetroNet who dispatches for fire departments that don’t contract with OCFA. And yes, CHP is still unencrypted on most channels. They still run 70’s

I agree, all we used was low and VHF, change a crystal or punch in the frequency. Have had bearcat/Uniden scanners since the middle 1970’s. On volunteer fire departments for over 20 years as we

Not 70 MHz, but 700 MHz, not used that much, but I have heard stuff. But yes, because of the area they have to cover, “low band” is what works for them.

Orange County was never on 33 MHz. These are LAFD frequencies. 33.82 was old “Ch. 8”, dispatch channel for the San Fernando Valley”. I believe 33.76 was a “Command” channel. Don’t

Something to investigate with the down time. Be safe. Thanks. Wayne
