USCG Boston Lant Comms Encrypted?

Scanner-geek · #1 (**permalink**) 03-12-2009, 06:04 PM

Are all U.S.C.G. Sector Boston Lant ops on CG-08 (162.050) P25 encrypted? New York recently went P25 but have remained in the clear for the time being. TIA.

99% ENC although there will be an occasional radio check in the clear P-25

geek,

An F.Y.I...the "CG" channel desginations are out. 162.050 is now Net 108.

Actually Both are used and are interchangable.
Sector Boston still calls it CG-08

Where can one find a list of the new "Net" designators?

Will they ever keep the designators the same? I finally started figuring out the CG-xx designations!

but i guess they own the freqs. so they can do whatever they want

NO real change, except add a 1

CG-08 becomes NET-108

Some of us, have assumed [yup, we even hyphenate it too] that
CG-08 was WideBand and the NET/CG-108 might be Narrow Band

I had already seen that page in Wiki but there was no reference to the "new" designators. But you you answered it in the next post. Thanks.

My only guess as to the change is that since the channel names were changed from "CG" to "Net", they did not want to confuse the Coast Guard Net channels with the CBP Net. After all, CBP and Coast Guard are both part of DHS.
