Here's how I have mine set up - I have separate systems for "RCS South Fire", "RCS South Law", "RCS North Fire", "RCS North Law", "RCS East", "RCS Northeast", "RCS Hendrix", "RCS Boucher", etc. The groups inside the syst...

I'm not sure if they're completely valid anymore, but the zones used to be - Zone 1 - N County Inland Zone 2 - N County Coastal Zone 3 - San Diego Zone 4 - "Heartland" (Eastern suburbs) Zone 5 - South Bay Zone 6 - (CDF?) Zone 7 - Rural South (Jamul, Dulzura, Potrero, etc) Zone 8 - Rural Mi...

Keep in mind the Pro-96 won't do 700 MHz trunk tracking (which is where the county is headed if I recall). Personally I can't say enough good things about the 396 and 996 from Uniden. I much prefer the User Interface on the Uniden models to the GRE ones. I also prefer the dynamic memory model of the...

I liked listening to the BLM on 166.3750 (103.5) - Admin Net 166.7500 (131.8) - Law Net If you have 800 MHz, don't forget the State Parks people - 868.4625 (D115) - Aqua - Primary 866.4625 (D115) - Copper - Lifeguards 857.1250 (D115) - Pink - Desert There's always Fish & Game too :) 151.4300 (Va...

In the mid 80s I had a neighbor who became an SDPD unit. He showed me one time a "cheat card" that the PD used that had a lot of 10 and 11 codes along with vehicle code data and a listing of what the various SDPD unit identifiers were. I'd love to see a picture of that as well if there are...

Mike We do allow people to page out incidents that are clearly verified by units on scene and with verified info. Obviously if the CAD says that they want the coroner then its a fatal and a good page. Some of the hotline dispatchers do this to back up the locals for missed major events. I received ...

Again, it's unfortunate that the IPN people think that MAS163 actually listens all over the country when he's obviously paging off the CHP CAD system. He's not the only one though - there's at least an ILL person and a NZL person doing it as well. There's also a few who page off LAFD's "officia...

Interesting! Thanks for sharing

Are the San Diego Rural engines at the CDF stations like Flinn Springs and Ramona and White Star going to be staffed or are they just reserve rigs?

That’s right, updates are on the way for your scanner. Here is an advanced peek at some of the major improvements we’ve been working on:  Improved decoding on P25 Multipacket Systems – OK, all you guys on the Virginia STARS system (and others), this is one I know you have been chomping at the bit f...

Yes it can and apparently there will be future firmware upgrades that will cost money (and add features!)
