Note that the two Phone Patch systems are specific frequency, not rotating. PP1 is always on the same channel, and it's not used for routine trunk coms. It's a seperate conventional style channel linked into the system for this use. (So far as I can tell)

Small update, as the years pass, and it's become completely impossible to find even used replacement pagers using the obsolete GOLAY encoding (despite that the firefighters like it as very reliable), a few POCSAG pagers are beginning to appear on 154.085 along with the reputed 5,000 GOLAY pagers alr...

Yup, the new update to the 396 seems to have 'added' some tendency for the 'machinegun' effect to South RCS loop. Never had it before, I think, but then I mostly listened to South with the Pro 96.

Cures the problem for some systems, makes it worse with others. Typical firmware fiddling.

First, turn off your caps lock key. Preferably, rip it off your keyboard. How simple any modern scanner is to program depends on how willing you are to read the directions carefully, and learn how to do it. It's not simple anymore, because the radio systems we listen to aren't simple anymore. The re...

Site number change

City of San Diego trunk system switched radio consoles and site number this morning, for whatever reason.

Used to report as being Site 0 on air, now reports Site 1 on air. Otherwise, same frequencies.

To update a bit, someone posted (brain flameout as to where) that there are now 10 'event channels', and trunker is beginning to show some of them, as of very recently. So far, I've only heard actual event traffic on the first two, but units are showing up affiliating on others, now, probably by acc...

Where I said 'they', it's 'they'. I don't 'wander', I sit here at home, haven't moved out of it in months. Literally. Yes, if it wasn't clear, I'm one of the users of the system, though rarely heard, a backup monitor since I have a lot of scanners running (usually 4 or 5) and am up at all hours of t...

As Brandon said, it's a group of freelance news stringers. They wander the county, mostly in the late evening/early morning hours when the TV Stations' crews are snug in bed, taping/photographing 'hot' news as it occurs. Generally, there'll be one person acting as a 'dispatcher' who's at home, monit...
