Orange County Fire & Rescue encrypted?

[ke4crc]

I travel through Orange county 4 Nights a week and for the past several weeks I haven't heard anything on orange county TRS except once in a while Orlando city fire and what sounds like security guards doing radio checks & after 5 am what sounds like lynx buses
Has orange county Fd gone to encryption
The DB doesn't show it but maybe it hasn't been updated yet

Sounds like there’s OCFF traffic on the Broadcastify feed.

I monitor it every day with a Unication G5 it is still in the clear.

To the OP: what scanner are you using to monitor? Simulcast distortion may be a factor...

The BCD325P2 is susceptible to simulcast distortion, unfortunately. Your best bet would be to upgrade to an SDS100 if you want to listen to OCFD without missing transmissions.

Orange County needs a SDS or Unication , simulcast is bad, and Carla hasn’t given any hint they are going dark
