Thanks for the info, zz0468. I'll try your suggestion.

sp I also find that changing the plan sometimes help to pick up some frequencies. In particular those who are narrowband.

I have no info on 453.0875 (I'm in Riverside), but to answer a question posed earlier in the thread:
I'm not aware of a UHF link between Riverside FD and Cal Fire. they do, however, use 154.175 as a VHF link between the two. RFD apparently leaves this link on 24/7 as you can hear their Command 2 channel (460.6) here constantly.

That VHF link is the only one I've ever heard between Riverside City Fire and Cal Fire. I remember when San Bernardino County had 1 or 2 UHF links which you could monitor in Riverside for the mountain areas. That was back in the 80's before they went to their trunked system.

Correct Brandon. This is the frequency for the UHF link for old Support 8. I don't know if it is still being used. Ever since Command 8 went into service, I locked it out of the scanner as there was no longer a need for it.

It is still in use, I hear it daily from my location in Valle Vista.

I second that!
