Does anyone know which agency uses talkgroup 315 on the Independence System? It appears whoever uses that one has it strapped with full encryption. Nevertheless, I've seen numerous hits from that group on pro96com. All radio ID's are 13xxx numbers leading me to believe it might be Lake City, but I'm not 100% positive on that.
Could be Sugar Creek, Missouri Police. Sugar Creek is on MARRS now, but I don't see them in the database, and I have no info on how many talkgroups / which talkgroups. I know their primary dispatch group is encrypted.
Which is starting to bring me to another question. I have a feeling this is a remote issue at best and a shot in the dark: is it possible that the large hail and wind weather event we had on the 26th of April was able to jolt/shift an antenna on a tower here in JoCo to cause this really horrid simulcast distortion? I've noticed a lot of agencies dispatches are responding to their officers in Overland Park during the day that they're unreadable or to "say again". The same is noticeable with Olathe from time to time.
On the off chance, is it possible that my scanner is deciding to bite the dust all of a sudden? With the decode debugger active on the scanner, I have an error rate on the worst of transmissions of 78 - and just 30 minutes ago, 98, otherwise i have error rates from 0 to 6 (which is perfectly fine). The 996P2 is reporting a P25 decode values on scanning at 6 7 and 8 most commonly, especially when doing the general freq sweep. There are numerous events where this will go up to 13 to 15 and other times down to 3 and 4. I've noticed on some instances this will spike all over the place when a TGID activates.
I've noted that forcing the scanner to skip the current TGID by forcing it to scan again will fix the distortion as it retunes into the previous TGID.
Make note that one moment the TGID is perfectly fine while active, the next moment when it goes to reactivate, it all goes downhill rapidly.
Not sure but I don't think they use any directional antennas.

Also you check your WyCo and KCMO and East Jackson County sets as well.
Sounds like Kearney PD may be in the process of switching over to MARRS. I've heard a lot of testing and routine traffic from them on talkgroup 34320 the past couple of days.
I thought I heard what sounded like a patch on the VHF frequency they use. I wonder if that Talkgroup will be a Clay County Municipal PD Group or what? Maybe they're using it til they get a Talkgroup assigned.
I didn't know Randolph PD disbanded. I used to see them have cars stopped around 210 and 435 all the time. Just my two cents they should make a TG for everyone separately, so you don't have a ton of overflow. Any word on a new site for Kearney PD?
