My sister lives in Carrollton Texas and there was a feed for the police department and now I don't see it any longer. Does any one know if there still is a live feed for Carrollton Texas? I am in Michigan. thank you.

There is no longer an active feed,
Carrollton, along with Addison, Coppell, and Farmers Branch moved to this system: https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=8207
Unfortunately, once that move was made, all four cities started encrypting their PD talkgroups. (The database only shows Coppell as encrypted, but in fact all four are.) So, neither a feed or scanner would be able to hear the law enforcement traffic. Fire and EMS, for now, is still in the clear.
Hmmm.On a drive to Coppell recently I found that Carrollton was in the clear on some of their PD channels but everyone else defiantly was not. Fire was in the clear though.
So then am I understanding that no scanner (I have a Uniden BCD325P2) is capable of listening to Carrollton Police? Not even with either the ProVoice or DMR upgrades?
For talkgroups that are encrypted, no scanner will receive them. However, CoffeeHound, in a post above, mentioned that he heard at least some Carrollton PD activity that was not encrypted. I have not seen that, but I do not concentrate on that system either. If a radio that is incapable of handling encrypted transmissions was active on one of the talkgroups, I believe it might possibly default to in the clear. However, I could be wrong, in that the system administrators might be able to prevent that from happening.So then am I understanding that no scanner (I have a Uniden BCD325P2) is capable of listening to Carrollton Police?
