I heard, was that annoying robotic sound off & on between 14:30 & 15:00. I think testing could not understand. It was off the Cheyenne south tower.

Are the the base 150.9925 spacing 0.0125 offset 4.5 the same for the bc296 ? ARC program won't accept.

The info that I posted was received using a Pro-96 and the Pro96Com application.
It is what was displayed on several screens of the program.

I am not familiar with the BC296, therefore I cannot provide that answer.
Perhaps someone else in the group will post on this.

I will continue to monitor and update any further info that is received.

Interesting still getting no information off of 154.070 like it has been for the past year. Even with 80% decode.

BC296, 796, 396 and 996 should decode the table data off the control channel with no need to enter anything. Provided there is actual control channel data present.

Funny all I get is LNK on the 296, 396 and 796. No data to decode or track at this point.

Still no site data off of 154.070 at the S. Greeley Highway site as of this post.

If this system is in fact operational does this mean that the control channels are encrypted?

I doubt it. The way I understand the encryption of the control channel in the P25 standard is that individual messages can be "protected." I suppose you could protect them all, but I haven't heard of this feature even being implemented yet by a manufacturer. They seem to stick with the voice side of things for the encryption.

The Pro96Com program will show if a message on the control channel is protected.
