Based on signal strengths, Mike Levy's old page and some monitoring the past few days.

RRU-1 Repeater Locations
Tone 1 = Elsinore Peak (Support 6 responses)
Tone 2 = Thomas Mtn (Support 8 responses)
Tone 3 = Box Springs (Support 5 responses)
Tone 4 = Mt David (Support 7 responses)
Tone 5 = ? unassigned ?
Tone 6 = White Water (?) (Support 9 responses)
Tone 7 = Santiago Peak (?) (Support 5 and 6 responses; Temescal Canyon, south Corona areas)
Tone 8 = Idyllwild (Support 11 responses)

Question: does anyone know if RRU-1 Tone 6 transmit from White Water, Mt Edna or somewhere else? This is the repeater that gives me fits... it's very weak on the output. The dispatches are for Cabazon and Desert Hot Springs which leads me to believe this is coming from White Water or the vicinity? The other unknown is Tone 5. Have not heard anything during a weeks worth of monitoring, possibly not even assigned?

RRU-3 Repeater Locations
Tone 1 = Chuckwalla
Tone 2 = Black Rock
Tone 3 = Cactus City
Tone 4 = Big Maria
Tone 5 = White Water
Tone 6 = ? unassigned ?
Tone 7 = Santa Rosa
Tone 8 = ? unassigned ?

The RRU-3 list was posted by Markb on RadioReference, dated from 2002 so I don't know if anything changed since I'm out of range.

Who's this Mike Levy guy I keep hearing about? Um, yeah, took the site down in Jan '06 when I moved back to Hemet from MoVal (lived in MoVal late '87-'98/'02-'04) The site hadn't been updated since '03. .......... Anyway,

IIRC, as I haven't been playing radio too much over the past couple years, I believe that Tone 5 is actually Whitewater and Tone 6 is Mt. Edna. Mt. Edna is also home to a repeater on RRU-2, as well as the 147.915 ham repeater (for the non-hams in the group).

As far as Santiago is concerned, I thought I heard them testing on "Tone 7 Santiago" a few years ago, but thought I was hearing things in my old age.

For the record, the primary site for Support 8 is at the county (courthouse) complex in northern Hemet.

I forgot that I had downloaded the 2006 radio call plan with all the Cal Fire mountain tops. Rereading this post I remembered it.

RRU1 tone 6 is Mt Edna. There isn't a RRU1 tone 5. Tone 7 is Santiago Peak. Whitewater is not on the map. RRU3 is a RVC county freq. so no info on the map.
