Hazard PD

[BC2001]

Hi. I notice on the database that Hazard PD is listed as P25E on their new channel (155.415) But lately, I have been hearing a lot of traffic on their non-encrypted channel (159.240). Does anyone know if they are just using the unencrypted channel until they can fully set up the new, encrypted one?

Also, does anyone know how long it could possibly be until the go fully encrypted?

A few questions.
1. Have you seen the Encrypted channel in use at all? Keyup's? Repeater CW ID? Encrypted Use?
2. Do you have a NAC for the second channel with a freq of 155.2400
3. The database was last updated in December of 2019, Over 7 months ago. A lot can happen in weeks let alone months, is it possible they pulled out of encryption or that is actually a channel for NCIC/Car2Car?
4. The License is wrong, So I have already submitted it for an update.

Early this year, like around January or February, it was keying up on the Encrypted Channel, but I couldn't make out what it was saying at all. I read somewhere that that is what it sounds like when it is encrypted (correct me if I am wrong).

I have a NAC of 10 on the 159.240 frequency because that is what automatically popped up when I started getting the traffic there.

As to the third question, I am not sure. They may have pulled out of encryption but I have no way to confirming that.

If you cant hear them and it says ENC at the bottom of the scanner or its garbled its encrypted.
Since you have the NAC for the channel could you please submit it here for the database so everyone is on the same page.

I would continue to monitor both channels and use ProScan or some type of software of logging it as well if you have DSD+ that might even help the search.
If 159.240 has more traffic on a regular basis then the listed channel that encrypted then I would highly consider the 159.240 is primary dispatch and that the encrypted channel is Operations or NCIC/Car2Car.

I will go ahead and submit that right now. And okay, that sounds reasonable to me. I will continue to monitor both channels and will post back if/when I find anything out.

Sounds Good. Thanks!

Sounds Good. Thanks!

No problem & thank you as well.

Also, I noticed you mentioned that it would show ENC on the bottom of the scanner. Would that happen on the BCD996P2 & BCD536HP scanners? I wasn't aware that some scanners do that.

It will, it's part of the display mode. Here is the link the Easier To Read Manual: Easier to Read BCD996P2/XT Digital Scanner Manual

I believe its the same rule for the 436/536

Okay. Well, earlier this year when I received traffic on the supposedly encrypted channel, I don't recall seeing it show up ENC.

But it was very garbled.

Scroll to the bottom of the page, there is an example of 256 Bit AES & DES. Radio Tones

Okay, yep that was what it sounded like for sure.
