This is the place to discuss generalized scanner questions and information for San Diego County. Whether it's radios, antennas, or other general scanner related topics, you can talk about it here.
Anyone out there happen to know what the County's pagers are on?
It seems the new RCS system will be on the same channels, or nearly, since they say the old pagers will work, but there's no county frequency that's actually showing a license for pagers (more than a few).
155.940 has some of the rural fire/ambulance pages (such as Valley Center), but it's clearly not the 'main' pager system.
154.085 is San Diego Fire's pager, but it's soo ancient (GOLAY) that nothing currently available will decode it anymore.
Well, Ok, there is one program, but it requires pre-XP and a data slicer, neither of which I have. And they're supposed to be moving to the county system along with everyone else, since they can't buy pagers for it anymore.
Well, it's still rumor, but the RCS paging system meeting notes indicate a large number of local agencies are joining the county paging system, and SDFire is in bad need of update.
I had thought that was a possibility, but the RCS minutes keep talking about them installing new transmitters at all the sites, and stuff, which doesn't match up. Ah, well.
Guess I can't listen to them, if they're on a Common Carrier. That would be illegal. <piously>
