anyone have a list of the talkgroups?
I started running id tracker and found 5 ids not listed so far.

So if they're saying go buy a digital scanner that means they're not going E ... at least not at first

I do know that La Porte City PD and Long Beach PD are going to use full-time encryption and that LaPorte County Sheriff and Michigan City PD dispatch are going to be in the clear except for their tac channels.
Fire will still be dispatched on VHF
All other traffic is suppose to be on 800
Pagers and Tornado Sirens are still VHF therefore they have to keep it for paging
EMS im not sure if they are keeping VHF they too have pagers.

I'm down at school but I've got a remote SDR set up at home in Michigan City monitoring the control channel there. I can get talkgroup usage and other site info through unitrunker but unfortunately I can't listen to any talkgroups without a second SDR.
Finding alot of unidentified talkgroups on Laporte Simulcast in the 126** area
Laporte County is switching over 10/3/2017 i beleive 6:30am CST to P25 Phase 2 800

They are switching at 0600. It is not phase 2, they are using safe-t which is phase 1.

Phase 1 CDMA
Phase 2 TDMA
Correct?

Phase 1 is FDMA, Phase 2is TDMA. CDMA is cellular used by Sprint and Verizon.

ok FDMA
Unless all of my phase 1 FDMA Scanners all of a sudden broke months ago
Over here we went to TDMA
I punched in the new simulcast frequencies and the new talkgroup for MCPD and nothing
I also quit hearing ISP Lowell months ago on my BCD996T
So please correct me if im wrong
All I know someone told me my Grecom PSR-600 is phase I only, I reprogrammed it and put in wildcards as well, and get things half a** for my area, and others like South Bend PD and Mishawaka I wish not to hear. Michigan City PD came in a few times, but not perfect. I'm now looking at a Whistler WS-1065 but have to make sure it does phase II

It only goes up to phase I.
WS-1065 is only phase I as well?

From: WS1065 - The RadioReference Wiki
The WS1065 is manufactured by The Whistler Group. It is operationally the same as the original GRE PSR-600, current Radio Shack Pro-652 and former Pro-197 and uses the same software and cables as all those models.

They're both the same scanner, just different brands.
Hoosier Safe T is still p25 phase I only! However, laporte county has been re-engineered to a simulcast system. Look in the data base, the site number has changed from a stand alone site / id to simulcast site / id #7. This new system configuration, still phase 1, confuses scanners and makes it hard for them to decode the digital streaming.
Step over to porter county, CC 854.9625, it is still a stand alone site. If your scanner works on that or in porter county, then you indeed are affected by simulcast distortion.
We will upgrade to phase 2 tdma in a couple more years.
There are psr600's picking up the Safe T system in laporte, just depends on the location to a tower site.
Lake county is the only phase 2 tdma system in the area, which is operated by Lake county.
