They are using BLUE 3, which is a stand-alone P25 repeater. They're also using encryption.
I have no clue why they made this move. I also don't know if this is permanent or temporary.
I guess we scanner people are out of luck.

They made this move because all of LE frequencies or talkgroups will be gone for all agencies over a period of time as we evolve. The goal of all LE agencies is to lock everything down.
This is not to get into a debate over this but you will watch as agencies like Ventura as well of all of South Bay agencies will follow. Then Long Beach and LASO and so on.
As you can see what we will listen to in time is just aircraft, fire, business like apartments complexes, and shipping container companies. You can see in the LA Databases that people are submitting DMR apartment complexes to listen now. This is where we have come with the hobby as it narrows.
