Re: Anybody know something?

I wasn't aware of this freq, I'll plug it in and see what I get. AMR also uses another UHF repeater (452.6875 PL103.5) for 155.295.

Re: 453.3 User

As soon as I posted that message I heard a little more ID info: The same dispatcher (192.8) is ID'ng as "Cal State" and now talking with BAKER and LINCOLN units. One of the units was at Kaiser Fontana and returning to the campus. I also heard a unit report a student had fainted. The dispat...

453.3 User

I previously had 453.3MHz confirmed as Riverside Community College PD using PL192.8. It's been awhile since I monitored them, but today I heard "Rancho Fire, Engine (XXX) on campus". They were requesting whomever they were talking with, to meet them at the gym. It sounded like they were on...

Re: CHP

I don't know which CHP offices you're trying to receive, but as for your local offices - Riverside is still using 39.68, Temecula is still usung 39.8, and I'm still hearing Coachella Valley area traffic on 42.44, but I haven't taken the time to confirm if I'm hearing Banning, Indio, or both. As was ...

Re: WIN97 Help Needed

Good advice. BTW, I spoke too soon. Now that I think I can handle the Win97 program, I tried to install the driver for the cable. It's the RS model that says it's made for the Pro-97. As usual, the instructions that come with the cable don't match the chioces or directions I get on my computer scree...

Re: WIN97 Help Needed

SP, I shoot myself in the foot more often than care to admit. After writing to you yesterday, and while I had some spare time this evening, I opened the program to look at it again and discovered what you just told me. This is great, it's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm going to go ahead and purch...

Re: WIN97 Help Needed

SP, Thanks for the reply. You hit on my major concern - can I create and store different files for different areas? Example - I live in Riverside, but travel to Sacramento, NJ, and Colorado. Can I create and save Win97 files for each area so I can just download each file into my scanner when I'm in ...

WIN97 Help Needed

I readily admit I'm not computer literate at all. I finally downloaded the 30-day trial version yesterday. If someone can show me how to use this program I can take it from there, but I'm not sure about a lot of things and would really appreciate it if someone could come to my house for 30-60 minute...

Re: Radio Shack amplified speakers being discontinued

R/S is getting out of the "radio" business. I was in NJ last month and tried to get a base antenna and a mobile mag-mount to use while staying at my dad's place. Tried two local R/S's, only to be told they only carry hand-helds now, with rubber ducky antenna - nothing else. When I got back...

Re: AMR Repeater?

Thanks, guys, at least now I know I'm not going daft. It would be interesting to know the purpose and location of this repeater. Does anyone know where the local AMR dispatch office is? Didn't it used to be on Arlington Ave in Riverside, just south of Hwy 91?
