LVMPD encryption

Metro police have encrypted all of their area commands this morning only able to hear anything on admin and records. And that chatter is units that aren't able to log on area commands encryption. So all the metro broadcastify feeds in clark county will be dead!

New talkgroups Metro System

I see all new talkgroup id's in the 20xxx range. All encrypted. Not seeing the 10xxx encrypted. For instance I'm not getting garbled encryption on the area commands 10xxx talkgroups. Wonder if there's a conversion table out there? Not able to monitor but for activity tracking??

My guess is you were hearing the input to NDOC FMWCF 154.1375, the transmissions I usually hear on there are mobile.

Around 3:45PM yesterday on 158.760MHz simplex, analog FM:

Female " Hey, got yer ears on? Can ya hear me?"
Male "I can barely hear you!! I'm at Railroad Pass!"
Female "Just crossing St Rose Parkway now!"

No further comms over several minutes. Likely two vehicles traveling on I-215 & I-515/US-93 heading N or S. With the radio I was using at the time, I couldn't easily check for a CTCSS/DCS.

Freq is listed as a Lander County SO channel, and also as a Nevada State Tactical Crossband repeater (channel NVTAC15), with a 155.580MHz input.

I'm hearing a control channel on 172.1375 in Kingman. According to Unitrunker it is an APCO P25 control channel, System ID A52, Site 002-112. Under the sites tab there are 4 sites, 001-006, 002-069, 002-112 and 002-122. I found this blog post that says it is coming from the Hoover Dam area (http://mt-fedfiles.blogspot.com/2017/07/new-vhf-trunking-at-lake-mead.html), and there were no reported users as of July of 2017. So far I have not heard any activity on it since I found it 40 minutes ago. Anybody here know what it is?

 

[bryan_herbert]

I've been monitoring it since last year and only hear the control channels when there is a tropo opening between Vegas and St. George, so its possible one site is at Beaver Dam. I'm thinking US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE).

The frequency of 172.1375 has been used as a P25 channel at the Grand Canyon National Park for medical purposes. It's not unusual to receive channels from the GCNP in Kingman. The NAC is 293.

I think this is something else since it is a trunking frequency.

getting it in bullhead city too

Also listen for the control channel on 172.1125

Ideas?

Two things come to my mind for Govt freqs in the area of Kingman and the Grand Canyon. One the US 11 project? Road building around Boulder City? Or two if this just popped up maybe something to do with the Helo Crash in the canyon?

Another idea. I do remember many years ago talking to a radio tech employed by the National Park Service at Lake Mead and he mentioned that a VHF trunked radio system was being talked about. Considering that the Lake Mead NRA goes down the Colorado River South of the Hoover Dam, this would explain why 172.1125 (full scale) and 172.1375 (3 out of 5 bars) are being received strongly in Kingman. Also, since part of the LMNRA borders on the Grand Canyon National Park jurisdiction, it's possible that the GCNP might just be joining the LMNRA in a combined trunking system. Time will tell.

I'm not getting 172.1125 in Kingman. I'm thinking what i'm hearing 172.1375, is probably coming from the NV/AZ border somewhere near LM or Hoover Dam.

Could be. This seems to be a fairly new system as far as I can tell. I'm not sure how long it's been up, but I have ran into this CC a few times and decided to put it into unitrunker today to see what I came up with. To me it would make sense if Lake mead NRA was on a trunked system since it is so large, but that would be out of the norm for National parks and recreation ares since I can't think of any others that use trunked systems that i'm aware of. The blog post I found about it said there were two sites in July 2017, but unitrunker said there are 4 today, so maybe it is a new system currently being built and expanded. I can't pick up any other CC's in the 170Mhz range, but my antenna isn't that high either. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what becomes if this system.

I appreciate you researching the freq, but...

I highly doubt two units from Flo McClure would be doing car/car BS'ing on their prison's primary security ops repeater. Especially since it's a relatively low-profile repeater & the two units were at least a dozen miles (plus terrain) away. If it was NDOC WCC units that wanted to BS while mobile & away from their facility, they technically though perhaps not legally had their channel 2, which is simplex. It's somewhat unusual for a facility to have their repeater input also be used as a simplex channel, for reasons that should be obvious, though I know of at least one state agency in California that did/does it.

Just submitted new tgid for Creech. TGID 8. FD/Crash Recovery hearing an interesting IFE right now with a drone.

Which site did the talkgroup pop up on?

Not sure, I monitor with my psr500 all control channels one tsys. Object oriented scanner.
