ACI Encrypted????

[KB18]

I used to be able to monitor Cranston ACI Maximum security Medium security and so on For the last couple of weeks they have gone quiet I haven't heard anything on their LTR system Are they now encrypted like the Training school or did they change their frequencies They were interesting to listen to to find out if there were any riots Thank you

The ole LTR is still sending out synchs, but no users.

I would suggest trying all the old channels in conventional mode and see if they repurposed them, or maybe they have abandoned two-way radios...??

The ACI has moved from their old analog trunked system to a Motorola 800 digital trunked system. All the old freqs should have been converted over by now. Info will be available shortly.........

If I understand correctly You are saying that they are using the same frequencies but it is now a Motorola system?

Yes - Cap+ DMR

I am using Uniden Sentinel software Please tell me do I select Motorola, Motorola Tubo or DMR one frequency and enter all the frequencies Thank you

You enter it as a MotoTrbo trunk, but you need the LCN, and we're still discovering that. Once we have it, it will be in the database.
But be forewarned, all talkgroups are encrypted. You're not going to hear anything, at all. Just see a bunch of ENCRY show up on your scanner.

Thanks to all for responding I didn't know that they are now encrypted Oh well

 

[W1KNE]

So this system is now in the DB. The other LTR systems have been retired. It should be in Sentinel for download next week.
Which is all pointless because of the encryption.

To W1KNE Thank you for such a detailed explanation and for sparing me the effort of trying to program my scanner only to discover that it would only be in vain because they're encrypted
