Any chance of putting together a map showing the areas covered by what sites? I live in the Kirkland/Juanita area and usually listen for King County on the Eastside system but it tends to be a bit noisy. Also, I'm still looking for an updated King County SO area map showing what areas are covered by what talkgroups. I monitor 23152 North Dispatch for the Kenmore sub station and noticed a lot of new alpha designators on that are not listed on the King County SO page here on this site (an example is the Ocean, Sammamish units). Has anyone updated any of this information recently?

: I would love it if you could do that. Don't suppose you could whip one up for the valley com site in the auburn area too.. That would be great.

: : : Is it just my scanner,or has the Columbia Tower site been having some problems the last couple of days?Lots of static,poor reception,etc.

: : >>
: : No problems with Columbia Tower or Seattle simulcast during the reported time frame. We did some work 11/12 September that should not have affected outbound transmissions.

: : I don't know where you monitor from, but I don't think I could find a place where you could say for absolute shure you would be listening to ONLY Columbia Tower. Columbia Tower is only one of several simulcast sites with overlapping coverage. I suspect you meant to say "Seattle simulcast" and not "columbia Tower."

: : If you want to report an observation with meaningful information, you shoud give the following information:

: : 1) Name of site or simulcast sub-system monitored.
: : 2) Time of day (accurate time- ie WWV)
: : 3) Frequency heard. If frequency is unknown, talkgroup number can help.
: : 4) Location you monitored from.

: : I am not saying I will follow up on all "problem" reports, but the above is required to do any follow-up.

: : Since a lot of folks on this board seem to be quite confused over the differences between simplex, repeater, trunking, simulcast, SmartZone, talkgroup, and frequency, would anyone be interested if I put together and posted some basic explanations?
