Bunnery definition for the under-fives

PSE Kirk/Redmond 153.605000 FM CTCSS 103.5 0
PSE Bellevue 153.650000 FM CTCSS 103.5 0

Both have been working fine for me.

I see scattered references to Puget Power in the database and the the PSE page only has the 900MHz system. Is there an all-inclusive PSE page I'm missing somewhere?

I lost power at the home yesterday afternoon and turned on the PSE bank to listen in. I had both gas and electric traffic. Gas was on the Seattle EDACS site.

PSE has a ton of VHF frequencies. The EDACS system is only used by the gas guys. Try this DB search.

So for power I should listen to the local VHF channel or is there a main dispatch and a local work channel?

my building has blown transformers 2 days in a row, i never see any VHF on the trucks in front of me only 900 looking antennas. I only get full static on the bellevue disp right now, but Im also too hot to figure it out.

So for those with the gas stuff working, did you specify EDACS or EDACS narrow?

If your building has blown transformers 2 days in a row it is probably better you can't hear what they are saying :bowrofl: @#$%&^!!!

Narrow 4800.

I have Seattle set up for
01-935.4500
02-935.4625
03-935.4750
04-935.4875
05-935.5000

and Tiger Mtn
01-936.4375
02-936.4500
03-936.4625
04-936.0000

It has always been a quiet system for gas dispatch only.

My PSR500 doesn't have the baud rate exposed, so I selected EDACs Narrow. I have all the freqs for all repeater sites in as system frequencies - will that mess up an EDACs system? Also I have a setting for EDACS-N: Invert Data. No clue what that does - should it be selected?

I have limited experience with EDACS. If UniTrunker says narrow I just set narrow. FWIW - UniTrunker options say the data is inverted on this system. Just insure that you have the frequencies matched properly to the LCNs.

PSE Gas EDACS SID-01 for Capitol Pk

1 - 938.3875

Database updates will follow when I can get in.
