Re: 154.100 110.9

The county Health system has been abandoned in place for years with very little use. There was talk of it going to AMR, but I don't know where that ended up. County Fire has been coveting all three frequency pairs for years.

Re: Modulation: NFM vs. FM

FM = 5 KHz deviation, NFM is probably 2.5 KHz deviation. That's the short answer. Ask if you want the long answer. I see no need to confuse... Do a license search for the frequency you want to monitor. If it comes back as 16K0 or 20K0, it's wide fm, or 5 KHz dev. 11K0 would be narrow. Most of the Ri...

Re: Radio communications towers

It'll be mostly (if not all digital), some possibly encrypted, and some in formats not currently supported by scanners. How things will shake out in the long run for scanner listeners, I couldn't begin to guess at this point. There will be some analog modes that the equipment is capable of, but it's...

Re: Riverside Sheriff's EDACS : HOW IT WORKS

Some history is in order, and then a bit of explanation. The original system, built in 1992 had West at Box Springs, Elsinore Peak, Corona (at the courthouse), and downtown Riverside. Central was at Box Springs, Elsinore Peak, and Mt. David, with receive only sites at Perris, Lake Elsinore SO, and H...

Re: Riverside Sheriff's EDACS : HOW IT WORKS

Since you are very familiar with this system, is the scanriverside.com site up to date with RSO info. It appears to be. I see there is a thread where a frequency list is attributed from me, posted at RR. That list is correct. I haven't cross checked it with the database here. There was a question a...

Re: 154.100 110.9

Don't be surprised if you see that frequency pop up in places other than Coachella Valley. It's a remnant of the old VHF Local Government system that the county had. It's licensed at Cactus City, Box Springs, Black Rock (near Blythe) and Elsinore Peak. Last I heard, Fire was going to use it county w...

Re: Riverside Sheriff's EDACS : HOW IT WORKS

I am asking for INPUT from anyone that reads this who can verify/correct any of this information. That is the purpose of this post. I'm quite familiar with that system. Perhaps I can shed some light. Talkgroup usage can change, so I'll keep my answers general, and not talkgroup specific. I live in ...
