I could have SWORN that Border Patrol was totally encrypted. Maybe it depends on the area.

Exactly. That happened a couple weeks ago.

I had no idea. I don't care too much for CHP anyway so maybe that's it.

I know what you mean. I used to work for a news place and my job was to listen to scanners for breaking news like accidents & such. It sounded good when I applied, but the thrill was gone when I discovered it was 15 or 20 scanners all programmed with only CHP channels. I remember working the day the airliner crashed in Cerritos and hearing in unfold from the first calls coming in. There was some kind of riot at a surf event in OC that day as well, IIRC.

OC police depts are all encrypted, but it must have been exciting. I would love to be getting paid just to sit back and follow scanner chatter. Must have been fun while you worked there.

Hi there , I could use little Highway Patrol help as well . I live out in Banning and Highway Patrol is about all I have left . I monitor 42.440000 Red Bor . Dispatch comes in very strong loud and clear but I can never hear the patrol cars. Anyone know why ? I monitor further away areas and get both sides . Although the signals are weaker I still can hear the patrol cars

Unfortunately the San G/Indio/Blythe CHP is the one holdout that never went repeated. The cars can be heard on 42.280, and the dispatcher will be heard on 42.440. It's too bad they never decided to repeat this CHP office.
