I'm in their Region 4. I spoke with a conservation officer I know a couple of weeks ago and he said they were authorized to encrypt full time. I have GRE/ RS scanners- which do not mute the encrypted TG, so I usually keep them locked out. I think he was saying DGIF was now encrypted statewide, but that may not be the case. Maybe each region has their own policy.
I had forgotten about it, but I think I now remember you saying before that they are patched to Salem 2 in your region.
Yes, They are still patched on site 222 and intermittent patches on sites 221 and 223. Have been running monitoring software on all three sites for last day and a half and watching what comes up.
I pick up mostly DGIF 4 and DGIF 2 with some DGIF 3. Rarely, I have gotten DGIF 1. Most mobile/portables are encrypted but some are in clear still. All dispatch seems to be in clear on those at least.
The Conservation officers I don't know. Showing some log ins and data but virtually zero voice traffic on their TGs. Not encrypted or clear just not there. Both GW and Douthat analog are active but not seemingly with LE. Picking up nothing else from other channels so I have no idea where they got off too but its not STARS and its not any analog I've been able to find so far. Considering I'm just a few miles down the same road from them I shouldn't have any problems getting them yet...I'm not.
Puzzling to say the least. Includes freq searches too. Nada.
I can't speak for other areas but nothing is coming through voice on those three sites basically and I can pick up at least some other areas besides 6 when they were using STARS.
I wonder if anyone else is getting anything from them either voice or via monitoring of sites w/software.
They have to be somewhere. LOL
