Hi everyone,
I am a new guy here from So Cal.
I am looking for a list of Seismometer Radio Transmitter Frequencies.
I used to listen to one freq on 162.810 or it was 162.825. It was
just an audible tone that warbled.
Ever since the Fire Storm of 2003 (I think it was) The fire took out
the transmitter. It has never been replaced.

What I am looking for is the same thing. An audible tone that warbles.

Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated!

I did contact Cal Tec in 2005 and I could not get any answers. They
would not release any information. They told me this information was
privet gov freq's and not for the public. Well, thats a bunch of
CRUD! I found a FCC part 97 & some other rule that said I could have
the info. I called them again & still got a NO, so I mailed it return
receipt on an attorney letter head written in legalease and I never
received a reply.

I will try Egil Hauckson. He can be found at JPL and Cal Tech?

I will also check Rick on the radio net. I think I might know him or
at least talked with him before.
That might be the JPL repeater they use.

As for the digital switch. I heard about that but I thought they
might leave some of the analog transmitters. I really enjoyed
listening to the tones. I would drive my kids crazy... hehe But I
could listen to all the warbles it would give off. It was so sensitive
it would pick up hikers walking by, hevy rain, dear and even some high
wind. If I new how to setup a seismometer and plant it in the
Mountain and what other permissions or permits I think I would
consider doing that.

I could not find out who owned that transmitter I used to listen to.

I just found an old 1990 Freq list

Code Freq Code Freq
A 162.596875 AW 162.59375
B 162.809375 BW 162.80626
C 163.396875 CW 163.39375

Total of 24 Freqs on this list along with USGs & Dept Interior Freqs.
It's an incomplete list. Only VHF.
Two of the USGS freqs are for the Earthquake chasers.

I don't know if the seismom freqs are still in use. I would gather no
from the digital switch.

Also on this list is the So Cal Seismic Network Station map, names,
codes, tone Hz, RF power & other info.
I don't know if any of this info would still be useful.

Do the uplink freqs to the satellites have an audio tone or is it just
a data stream?

"Someone" Do you have any of the uplink or down stream freqs?

I'm not sure what information you are hoping to get from the system you used
to listen to, but the CUBE (Caltech-USGS Broadcast of Earthquakes) system
carries a whole stream of data subsequent to any significant earthquake in
near real-time. That information includes location, size, depth and more.
The information scrolls across the display of a pager. Since access is
available to a very great variety of public service and emergency response
agencies, I doubt very much that they can keep the frequencies or possible
encryption secret from the public.

Does any of this strike you as being a wee bit obsessive?

I would not call this obsessive.

No, but you are a bit biased.
