St. Louis County

Has anyone heard anything more about St. Louis county/ Duluth possibly encrypting their radio traffic when they go to Armer in 2013? I am just wondering!!

From What I have seen:
St. Louis County will have
3 Announcement Groups- clear
2 Dispatch Groups- clear
6 ops - 5 of 6 clear
2 Admin Clear
Duluth will have
1 announcement group- clear
4 ops groups- 3 of 4 clear
2 admin groups- clear

What about the Duluth Police/Fire Dispatch groups?

according to meeting minutes, they will have 220 county specific talkgroups (includes all Police and Fire department TG's), 3550 radios and 5050 radio IDs (unless they upgrade to MCC7500 consoles)

No encryption listed for fire.
I believe Duluth PD will be dispatched on 1 of the ops talkgroups assigned where the County will just dispatch Duluth. Since Duluth is dispatched by St. Louis County 911 the talkgroups are in the county fleetmap, on a county fleetmap a talkgroup for just 1 agency is an ops channel not a main which is a shared talkgroup.

I am still a little confused. With most talkgroups in the clear will I still able to listen to the Duluth Police?

most of it since most of the talkgroups are in the clear
