Old RSO Frequencies

Post by cvrules90 »

Does anybody maybe have a list of old RSO frequencies? I'm talking from from the 70s and 80s before they got their EDACS radios.

What about Palm Desert? I'm guessing patched to F5.

Also, circa 1989:
Ch 1 460.225 Riverside jail
Ch 3 460.275 Riveside General Hospital jail ward/security
Ch 5 460.350 Alternate - direct comms

These are possible now in use at Juvie Hall/ETS

I have heard park rangers using 158.850 after the switch to EDACS.

I believe Palm Desert was on Channel 7. CLEMARS was on CH9 and used as a C/C in the Elsinore/Temecula area. CH 14 154.100R was a county roads channel used in the PM and on weekends by Southwest Station. Also CH 8 was MoVal and Ch 2 was C/C also but don't remember the freq.

Wow that's a lot of frequencies! I sure am glad a lot of those got freed up when the county switched to EDACS. I just wish they'd install more sites as opposed to switching to a whole new system. They could just have a repeater installed at every station.
