Everybody else has pretty much summed it up here. Yes, WSP Yakima is repeated 154.920 (173.8 ) (damn smileys....)
I was at work last night during the chase and didn't get to hear it, but that's usually the case. WSP dispatch on LERN is very, very strong, as are YSO and YPD dispatch, but the field units, not so much. I have a Kenwood TK-7180 hooked to VHF antenna in my attic (2nd story) via some LMR-400 (low loss cable) and most of the time can hear the field units.
It also has to do with placement in the valley and where you are at. I'm in the area of 72nd Ave out in West Valley and when East Valley is operating on a tac channel, since they are at a high end of the valley, I can hear them using simplex on tac 3 via my scanner no problem.
If you'd like help installing or improving your setup, let me know, sounds like were in the same area.
