New Sheriff Callsigns in Blount County

[WatnNY]

A short while back I asked about some new callsigns I was hearing on the Blount Count Sheriff talkgroup. Someone replied they believed it was SWAT callsigns, and that does not seem to be the case. Since that time I posted, the Blount Sheriff has 100% gone away from their 300, 400 & 500 callsigns and have replaced them with these that have been heard (and mobile units appear to be 100% encrypted, while the dispatchers are in the clear):

Alpha
Delta
Echo
Foxtrot
Papa
Romeo
Tango

Does anyone have any information? Any information what so ever? We could start a thread of what we hear so maybe that will help us figure out the callsigns. Anyone and everyone's help is appreciated...

I have been trying to give you all the hint for months the whole TACN is going to be FULLY ENCRYPTED eventually.

 

[WatnNY]

Well, I hope not Magicman! I have noticed what WAS all encrypted mobile/portable units, there's more transmitting in the clear over the last week or so.

Anyway, Two new callsigns heard were Kilo and Oscar. Oscar was sent to an auto accident that Alcoa PD was already handling. So that gives us:

Alpha
Delta
Echo
Foxtrot
Kilo
Oscar
Papa
Romeo
Tango

Thanks for your thoughts. I will have to listen more closely now and see how Delta and Echo are for times and what shift they might be.
