This seems to be affecting the Northern VA area as well - I'm seeing no traffic on the VSP Fairfax 1 & Fairfax 2 patches on the Fairfax County TRS since a little before noon today.

This is great, I want to try to do the same kind of setup for Fairfax County - how tricky do you think it'd be to recreate with a few $30 RTL-SDR dongles instead of the HackRF?

Depending on the age of the radios you want to program, you may be able to download the necessary CPS software from p25.ca (https://www.p25.ca/forums/76-Programming-Software). P25.ca only posts software that Motorola no longer sells or supports themselves (I think their newest is from the Astro...

It was a New Carrolton-bound train. Fairfax fire arrived and found him under one of the cars. Pronounced him pretty quick, and are turning the scene over to Metro PD now. Fairfax PD dispatched it as "subject jumped in front of a train"

Another thing to note - Fairfax County Police currently link some of their police dispatch channels together. Fair Oaks dispatch is generally linked to Sully dispatch & Admin dispatch. What that means for scanner listeners (at least my 396 does this) is that only one of these talkgroups will...

Anyone know when Falls Church PD will switch over and what talkgroups they'll be on? I was listening today, and didn't hear them on the P25 system.

I noticed a posting regarding this in the MD forum, but it's of interest to VA people too, so here you go. This is copied and pasted from an email list: Montgomery County, Prince George's County, and Frederick County, will be implementing the Washington Metropolitan Are 800 Regional Unit...
