I took my BC-246T down to monitor the system. Turns out it is all digital. Now, not sure if it's setup for analog and digital and they just use it as digital (ala mera), or if it's really all digital.

I 'monitored' the following TGIDs:
16 (new)
144 (on RR.com)
208 (on RR.com)
272 (on RR.com)
496 (new)

Next time I'll bring the Pro-96 to verify if it's encrypted or not.

Must be a mixed mode system if you were monitoring it on a BC246.

Mixed mode = 3600 bps control channel with P25 modulation?

...because it was 'decoding' the control channel, but the audio was always digital.

I've only heard P25 in the clear. Same with USP Dublin. I haven't spent a huge amount of time listening to either one (only a few days).

The standard setup for Federal Prisons is a 3600 IMBE digital system with no analog (setup to meet compliance regs). Generally single site SmartNet possibly using Receiver Voting in specific situations.

I've changed the database to represent digital-only activity (as I monitor the system time to time).
