Logan and Cache County Area Scanner Frequencies

 

Can you identify these??

 

Always in progress

Logan City/Cache County Services
Cache County and Logan City operate a well integrated communications system. Several changes happened in the Fall of 2006 including removal of a building and re-siting of equipment, and in 2008 is considering joining the UCAN 800 MHz system. Currently, virtually all of the communications for public services take place on VHF - which works well in the closed area that is Cache Valley. Little RF escapes the Valley, and little gets in from beyond.

Plans are afoot for 700 MHz, and narrow bandwidth new frequencies, but in the meanwhile the old tried and true VHF frequencies are well used.

Here are FD/PD/EMS:

The Basics:

Notes:

1. "North Park" is not a legal entity but is a combined law enforcement effort of North Logan and Hyde Park. 

2. Delta units are Cache County, Sierra units are Logan City and Tango are North Park, Zulu is Smithfield...I think

Here's a link to some Log Periodic Antennas at the North end of the Great Salt Lake

 

Just fyi, here's the lineup in my shack, etc:

The big one BC780xlt Trunktracker III -  I love Andy's program!

 

BC245 Trunk Tracker II

Radio Shack PRO 60

BC760xlt - my wife's from a prior guy in her life...we listen together! It's a Model 2005 - only sold for a short while - in service since 1986. Snip! :-) BC 250 - 25 years old - 50 channels - in the closet right now
   
My 4 bander IC-T81A ham rig has VHF and UHF wideband scan also  
Current scanners in the shack/office/home/car above - many others over a 30 year time period. First was a Radio Shack Pro 7 - with 8 crystals. First programmable was a Tennelec TCP-1 - 16 channels and 16 binary codes entered per frequency - had to look them up is a big book.

Here's the link to the FCC licenses - you can look 'em up yourself!

 

Any other ideas?
