Civil Air Patrol: Does anyone know what type of encoding CAP is using?

[WA4AK]

I am a former member of CAP (20 years). I tried loading all the known frequencies from the radioreference data base, but when a CAP station comes on live, all I hear is static...when I left the program they were talking about encoding in the future (12 years ago). Does anyone have any updated info on this and are the transmissions still available to listen to?
Thanks.

CAP uses a mix of analog and P25 in the clear, and AES256 encryption.

Some Wing's have also started using state radio systems, all wings still use VHF Primary but Wing's like Colorado have DMA Issued radios. Encryption isn't used much

Would you have any info to assist me to program my Whistler 1065 to receive?
Again, thanks.

Civil Air Patrol HF

Has anyone observed any actual HF frequency usage by the Civil Air Patrol recently? I know some may have frequencies in their notes and some may have channel designators. Let's share what we have and match them up.

If you're in Florida, click on the Florida Database and scroll down to Florida Areawide Frequencies. Cival Air Patrol is the first option.

In Arizona, the state primary frequency is VHF/NFM/analog/zero encryption.

ENC seems to be only used for specific "Missions" and vary by Region/Wing.

I've never heard them using ENC here in New England - "knock on wood"
P25 yes, but not ENC

very rarely i have seen it in NC and would be interested in others experiences re: CAP using encryption.

i say this cause the times i have seen it noted as P25 ENC on a scanner the "noise" associated with it has a distinctly different flavor to it, or better stated very little flavor, as in near silence with periodic, subdued "clipping" in and out sounds to it. anyone else come accross this? its happened so rarely, i can't rule out this as being a malfunction on my end.

so anyone else noting CAP ENC, I would be happy to hear from.
