I went to Parker AZ/Earp CA a couple of weekends ago and tried to monitor SBSO on one of their trunk systems. No bueno. I discovered that 866.6375 is in use, non-trunked for the Colorado River an surrounding areas.

Use System 5 for the area north of Needles, and System 15 in Needles proper. South of Needles uses the desert conventional channels. D-Law-3 for the Havasu area, and D-Law-4 for the Parker area.

Only the part that goes by Riverside County. Where it passes San Bernardino County, SBSO has it for the California side. Look at a map that shows the county lines next to the river.

Ahh so it's one of those places that extends to another county. I'll take a look at a map nevertheless thanks.

The Colorado river crosses 7 states and flows in two different countries. I'm not going to bother with how many counties it passes through. I'll let you do that.

Thanks for the info, zz. I had those 2 systems programmed in, but was not receiving anything where I was at. I had no computer access, so had to use the old fashioned search mode on the scanner.

If you're close enough to a site, close call would also work I believe.
