Thanks for posting that. The fireground channels for Fredericksburg are usually pretty active during the event, but they've been quiet since I started listening a few minutes ago. Perhaps all the medical units involved were given P25 radios this year.

Evidently they are using fireground channel 3 after all. I had a reception problem. Had to swap antennas.

Due to the weakness of the signal from my location, I couldn't tell if the talkgroups were clear or encrypted. (They flashed quickly on the screen - I saw that they were in the 63xxx series.) Were they able to be monitored?

Thanks,
Dave
