July 2025 is the magic month per administrator. Supply chain issues may also have influence on date of change, hearing some orders extended delivery dates to organizations

Same way with Bunker Gear. We put in an order a month or 2 ago and the dealer is saying they're being told at least 12 months until delivery!

Hello VIPER gurus. I'm having trouble picking up the Fayetteville TWC site with my BCD536HP w/trusty RS800 from northern Robeson County. Is there any beamforming or something going on with these sites? I would think I'd be able to get it no problem. I can even receive from the Slocomb site, so I wouldn't think distance is an issue. I did realize that the Fayetteville TWC site is 700 vs the other sites in the area being 800. Does the RS800 suck on 700? Thanks!

Picking up lots of activity on 60677 off the Rowan Faith Mtn tower this morning. Several different radio unit ids on talkgroup. Sounds like this may be US Marshals Service since this TG falls between known USMS talkgroups. Submitted ticket to include it in db.

Encrypted traffic on unlisted TG 52044 with radio IDs of 2078xxx in the OEMS range.

Just looked at the new TG's today, It looks like they took and made 15 DPR TG's per region east , west & central. There were also changes to the LZ tg's there are now LZ East , West, Central and Piedmont with each having a TG 1 & 2 so LZ Piedmont 1 and LZ piedmont 2 and so on. I also noticed that the SW tg's go through tango now.

Wat hospitals or locals are attached to each LZ

This makes me curious about something. While you mention that tower. Is there a list/page that says where each USMS location is corresponding to the VIPER TG?

Federal agencies, like most state agencies, have statewide roaming abilities and are not assigned to any particular towers.

Edgecomb County sounds like regular dispatch, possible issues with their regular system or TGs

Dang talking about a system wide (ENC)

What ever came of this? Is there a plan in place to do this? When?

I believe this is taken out of context. There are statewide encryption keys made in all the accepted formats to support the Law Enforcement Only statewide channels. Read the document posted several posts above the one you replied to, it answers that question.

Have you submitted it to the database to be added?

I will - Who will name the site?

You can submit a name and DB Admin will decide if it is right, I'd suggest either HAYESVILLE or CLAY County, since that is the location. What is the site number, SDS should show you the info.
