Humboldt County Digital!!

[Smokey4176]

So every one knows, Humboldt Co. sheriff and Winnemucca police Dept. went digital.

I'm guessing P25. Phase 1 or 2? Same frequencies?

[Smokey4176]

P25 Phase II subscriber units (Harmonized Continuous Phase Modulation - H-CPM) same frequencies

[737mech]

Time to ask Santa for a PSR-800 I guess.

[Smokey4176]

I'm thinking a PSR500

[737mech]

Check the specs the PSR-500 won't help you on P25 Phase II at all. Only the PSR-800 and maybe if it ever gets to sales the PSR-900?

[xts3000r]

dos anyone know if they have a trunk radio system up and running. i dont see one on the net i looked and could not find info on one. is anyone out there have a p25 radio or scanner to see if its just p25 Conventional. how do we know they are not running Conventional with adp

[xts3000r]

looked at the HUMBOLDT, COUNTY sheriff page. and no where on there i could find anything to say they are going p25

[737mech]

Easy to figure it out, somebody up there needs to run PRO96com or unitrunker on the control channel and see what the info says. I assume smokey4176 did that??? Any chance we could see a screen shot?

[Smokey4176]

Thanks 737 mech. I to will be asking Santa for a PSR-800. I looked into the difference between the 500 and 800 and low and behold you were right. And as for knowing if it's P25 and phase 2. From what the FCC website says ULS Application - Public Safety Pool, Conventional - 0005428600 - HUMBOLDT, COUNTY OF - Frequency Summary it says 8K10F1W in the emissions data and on this site Emission Designator - The RadioReference Wiki it says 8K10F1W P25 Phase II subscriber units (Harmonized Continuous Phase Modulation - H-CPM) I would have added thies as hyperlinks but not shure how to do it. And I dont know what PRO96com or unitrunker is to give a web shot

[Smokey4176]

If any one has any more suggestions on a scanner that will work on a P25 phase 2 system please let me know.

[georgesharpe]

There is a P25 Ph II system being brought up where I live in Canada, and I have NO PROBLEM hearing the testing on this new system, with a PSR800.

[xts3000r]

so a county that has only 37 sheriffs. got a new p25 ph 2 tdma trunk radio system. wow what a wast of money. thats a 20 mil system if not more. next i want to know how did they get the money for it and why did no one pick up on this befor.

And you wonder why the US Government is going broke!

[kd7rto]

Doesn't surprise me. When I spent three weeks in Winne last January for work, my BCD996XT noted two frequencies running P-25 encrypted, 154.785 NAC:29A, and 153.8 NAC:2A0.

[joen7xxx]

At least the Ambulance is still analog....for now. I wonder if Burning Man helped pay for the p25 upgrade? That's probably the biggest event Humboldt and Pershing Counties participate in.

[com501]

NO, we did not pay for any P25 upgrade.

I wouldn't waste my time buying any new scanners, I'll be betting they will encrypt at some point since its so cheap to do so.

[abiu01]

I notice in the latest FCC license release that both Lander and Lincoln Counties have licenses with the P25 emission codes. Maybe this is a new regional system with Humbolt County? I can understand Lander, but Lincoln looks kind of removed.

If you have to update your license anyway due to narrowbanding, why not add every possible emission you might use that your new radios are capable of?
