First Energy Cleveland Area

[tonya]

I just programed all the talk groups from First Energy in the Cleveland area into my SDS100 as a favorite. I''m getting a good signal and I have the utilities on in the service types but have not picked up a thing all day. Are the encrypted?

In my area they use cell phones.

They don't use the radios like they should and there is very little traffic. Looking at the calls platform, there are only 9 talk groups with any traffic on them at all. It could be days between any traffic on the talk groups.

From what I've been told they use the in-vehicle computer most of the time, voice only when needed. AEP seems to be going much the same way. Columbia Gas has been that way for years; they rarely use voice on their conventional UHF P25 system, all I usually hear is data on an alternate talkgroup.
