Has anyone found talkgroups for FT Lewis Fire since the base went to a new trunked system? I know they go to many calls off base. Is it possible they went to a federal VHF channel instead of the new trunked system so they would not have to carry two radios?

I've heard FLF on 8115, but that was just 'returning in service' stuff from a call prior to me listening, and chat between two chiefs. Have yet to listen to a whole call.

8115 is FortCom Fire
8116 looks like Tac 2
8117 looks like Tac 3
8120 is another Tac
8121 is Madigan Disp
8122 is another Tac possibly for Madigan (MadCom)
8315 is Forestry Fire
8320 is Hazmat Responder

This is what I have seen so far for Fire....

Damn nice list! I had 8320 as 'Environmental Services'; that's the one with 'Responder Base', etc, right? Do you confirm Madigan security as 8549?

Oh, and what's your take on 8807? Camp Murray?

I have heard both MP and Madigan on 8549 - I suppose it could be Madigan Security.

I haven't logged your Camp Murray TG at all.

I have picked up Radio Maint on 8539 but do not know if they own it.

These are my best guesses so far.

Thanks very much folks, great work.

dste and Wilrobnson (or nayone else), have you guys had any trouble monitoring Fort Lewis? I have been trying to monitor it with my BCD396T with a radio shack extendable attena. and I have never been able to monitor it clearly. It seems like I get a bit of the first transmission then it cuts out. I have tried scanning with all the freqs, with just the CC freqs, with playing with the P25 levels from auto, manual and default. with no luck. I usualy try to listen when either on i-5 or the Steliccom-Depunt road (which menas i am in my car, and i have never pulled over somewhere to listen). I am trying to figure out if it is a problem with my scanner itself or something else.Any ideas?

Nope, but then I usually park somewhere un-obtrusive and monitor.

This is what city parks are for...... Park and listen... I have no problem with my 396T before or after the v2 firmware upgrade.

My antenna usually is the Rat-Shack 800 Duckie by default.

Hey DSTE, where do you go? I use the east side of McChord, so I can listen to both UHF trunked systems, and watch planes....And zone out.

I like the water so I usually pick the American Lake Park on the west side. Full strength sig for both systems.

The one off Veteran's Drive?

I'm heading to that area today, so I'll poke around.

Yes. Sorry to say that I am working today.

I used that spot today, and found it a great one, except the lack of reception on the east fill site- not really a big deal.

Thanks
