There is a big difference between static and digital noise... can you make out any voice at all? If not, then it could be digital. I'll try to check next time I'm in the area.

I just took a look at the 2015 Aylmer Police annual report and it mentioned that they planned a full digital upgrade in 2016, so it would seem that this has taken place. Anyone in the area setup with DSD+? I'm not sure if I can pull them in from home or not.

Fyi last I read St Thomas was looking at digital for 2018.

If they have indeed gone digital, I'd expect that they are likely using MotoTRBO which can be difficult to pickup with Close Call. I would fully expect them to be using encryption as well, but until someone can confirm with DSD+ or a DMR scanner.... Who knows.

Owen Sound has been using a three site NEXEDGE48 system for a while. They didn't migrate last year.

Owen Sound dispatches many different agencies using many different formats. I know Aylmer had some Moto XPR gear in their fleet already so it makes sense they would be using TRBO. Need someone to make a recording!

Didn' t St Thomas PD dispatch for Aylmer at one time on the St Thomas frequency? Today I am picking digital noise on the St Thomas frequency I hope it is not a sign of times for St Thomas PD.

Yes, St Thomas dispatched Aylmer before they switched to Owen Sound.

So you are hearing digital on 142.1250? In their 2015 annual report they said they weren't going digital until 2018 I believe.... But things change I suppose!

Yes, DMR, no voice and it doesn' t show encrypted. I am also listening to St Thomas in analog right now, I wonder if maybe they are working on the new system.

Also the DSD+ event log is not showing any info, so I wonder if I am just picking up a strong signal for somewhere.

I noticed this morning that Aylmer has now enabled encryption too.
