what is the LCN and how do you find it can't figure it out, and does anybody know if the edacs the NOPD uses is wide or narrow trying to program a 396t any help would be appreciated
Well for one thing all you can hear is fire and ems but then at night time ,I have been hearing 2nd ,6th,7th on a spec channel at night even during the day sometimes,05-130
that id is very active.
When (note when) New Orleans public safety makes the switch to the LATIE, then NOPD can be heard. At the moment, they have patched some of the NOPD channels to a LATIE TG so the National Guard can be contacted and monitor. At the present, no scanner can follow the NOPD on the EDACS ProVoice because no scanner can decode ProVoice.
To ghack:
You need to do some reading at the RR Wiki and also search through the database here so you know what is here and so that you have some background. Questions are alright, but your questions would be better with some background information about the simple things.
Encryption is certainly a possibility, although the entire system is capable of it, it is not a system choice, it is actually done by each radio on the system. The extra expense of this; however, would strain some budgets so although you may see some entities opt for it as a whole (and I suspect NOPD could be one of them), you probably will only see more sensitive stuff encrypted as opposed to wholesale encryption. I am not sure exactly how much it costs per radio to add that if specified on initial purchase, but retro-fitting is more expensive.
Perhaps MINDSHOCKER might want to comment on the added cost.
