Site 76 with a control channel of 854.9125 should be Fitch Ky. My problem it is the same control Channel as site 102 Amesville Ohio which is much closer for me. Unless the Control channels change that one will be tough to confirm.Greenup.PNG

If I can get back to Bolt mountain I can get both, although Dingess didn't show up on my last trip up there.
Where did the first Dingess report show up?

I have received Pineville of course and it is encrypted marked with a T indicating it is encrypted on this site . However, I have received GILBERT in MINGO county and even though it has no marking of T when I did receive it was also encrypted. I am wondering if all AEP APCO -P25 sites are encrypted?

None of them are encrypted. Some of them require a device that can decode a TDMA control channel. Currently no scanner can. DSDPLus Fastlane can, and OP25 can, and the BlueTail Technologies P25RX can. If you don't have one of those, you can't monitor a site with a TDMA control channel.

T next to the site name means TDMA CC
T next to a talkgroup means TDMA talkgroup (phase II P25 scanner needed)

Nothing encrypted.

Thank you for the very helpful information. I had read somewhere that the T meant encryption. Thanks for the correction and information. I am old man but never to old to learn. I will pass this along to my friends here. Thanks again and God Bless
