[jeff]

No longer hearing Alachua Co on 154.325, but 154.445 is active.

 

[batdude]

have you submitted this to the RR dB? if not, please do.

 

[jeff]

It's already in there.

 

[jeff]

154.325 is back up.

 

[Bote]

It is likely that it's a console patch. Maybe they knocked it down by mistake, nobody noticed until today, then they set it back up.

Are they down again ? I hear nothing in High Springs !

 

[jeff]

I'm hearing them on 154.445.

325 has been tough catch in High Springs for the last few months.

154.445 is the westside paging channel, though that can be difficult to receive sometimes too.

All other ops are on the P25 Trunked system.

In other news, ACFR retired their APX 6000 radios this week and got 150 brand new Motorola APX N70 XE's. There is a 20 min video on ACFR's YouTube channel showing all the features.

 

[jamesamato]

I heard its all going encrypted soon , anyone else hear that ?

Where did you get that information? Both West and east paging frequencies are active only thing you won't hear is GFR pages which are all done over the p25 system.

 

[jamesamato]

In a few local FB groups, they said ASO and ACFR are going encrypted on the p25 and dropping the VHF paging.

Can you share a link to that discussion?
