Anyone know anything about WRBR582? Seems like LEHT may have moved from 500 MHz to a 700 MHz trunked system.
It's not a trunked system, it's four 700 MHz FDMA (Phase I) conventional channels. The contract that Elias obtained and posted clearly specifies an ASTRO 25 K Core (conventional only), with further details spelling out that it's a conventional network of four channels that will be simulcast/voted. It also pretty clearly states that the PD will be encrypted.
It happens more often than you might imagine, as well the reverse where I've come across 700 MHz trunked systems licensed as SG conventional.Interesting that they licensed it as an "SY" service code. Their regional planning committee approved a trunked system, and there's a loading requirement to get 4 channels. At some point that might not be a favorable thing.
Nor EMS if I remember reading the specifics correctly.So you are trying to tell me I will not be able to listen to my PD anymore
772.21875 NAC 296. I did hear at least one side of the transmission in the clear

After listening yesterday, 772.21875 NAC 296 is definitely the normal Patrol channel. Some patrol units are clear and dispatch is encrypted. I would assume the patrol units have the option to go encrypted if they need/want to.
774.69375 NAC 299 is a tactical/detectives channel that was clear at one point but haven't heard anything on it since so most likely is encrypted at this point.
If you need more info let me know. I have a 536HP and an SDS200 but I don't have a lot of experience with them besides just the basics, so if you need me to do more checks, you might need to point me in the right direction.
