Re: New antenna

Soledad is in the North Zone.) :mrgreen: Don Thanks for the help Don. The map I have doesn't really show which zone the Soledad site is on. It is just sitting out th...

Re: Which TGs on which zones

Thanks for the help guys. I hadn't thought about the lack of radios on a zone preventing the repeating of a TG there. I was kind of hoping for a listing somewhere that would shorten my learning process. I found one such site but it is fairly dated and shows the zones as north, south, and central.

I now hear all 3 RCS zones and the city system with no issues. The antenna was $6 with $15 for shipping. Ca...

Re: Which TGs on which zones

Thanks Don! You confirmed a couple of my assumptions and gave me the answer. MA channels would be countywide for sure. Duh. The incidents out in Ocotillo Wells that I hear, sparked my curiosity.

Which TGs on which zones

Which agencies/TGs are repeated on which zones? I haven't been able to figure this out. Some but not all agencies/TGs seem to be repeated on all zones. What determines this?
