Listening from Gilbert, SDS200. Been a while, but there is no radio traffic. Did DPS encrypt, or what am I missing?

Are you receiving data from Thompson Peak, Stauffer Hall, or South Mountain? Have you tried ID Searching?
Programming using Sentinal. If nothing changed with AZWINS, it's a programming error on my side. I'll figure it out, but thanks
I am in Pinal county and tried Kevin Peak and Casa Grande Mountain. I didn't pick up any. I am in Florence near San Tan Valley. I am just listing to the 460 Frequency range. I don't hear as much as I did before.

Probably just using the mobile terminals mainly for dispatch. I noticed lot of law enforcement agencies do that. Works better than encryption with less grief from public and leaves the radio more clear incase something urgent does happen.
They're alive and well on my 150.

For a while, TDMA/AES talkgroups were carrying the same traffic as legacy FDMA talkgroups. That was likely a testing configuration and things reverted to FDMA-only operation; I assume there will be a cutover to TDMA/AES-only fairly soon. At the time I moved out of Arizona last month, UHF was still active in D9.

East, West and Central are all still active on both UHF and AZ WINS as of today.
Not sure when the exact date to go fully “E” is I thought I read it was supposed to be towards the end of 2027 since they were still building out the AZWINS system.

I'll never forget the day I heard the dispatch tell all LE to logoff and login to the new system. Full E for the city of Moreno Valley, Ca.
One other note I am hearing traffic on UHF DPS D6 CASA again.

Why the frown emojis? People shouldn't be allowed to listen anymore. They are going big E for many reasons INCLUDING broadcastify. I recommend to many other agencies to start the switch to big E as its dangerous. Thanks
I have had scanners since the 70's and a few times having one save me. One Christmas eve driving home I heard a chase going on. As I came up to a four way stop I heard them going down the street where I was at. If I had did my stop and then went I would have been T-boned. Another time another chase a car crashed and the guy got out and was jumping fences and was heading near my house. I was able to LnL and lock the back door. There was shots fired near where I lived back in the 80's. Again one street over. The hood I was in Long Beach Ca had shootings just about every night. I did move to get out of there. Too many gangs moving in.
Another year I heard a person get on the police radio to call for help. The officer got hit when he had pulled over a car. It was a hit and run. Three blocks from my house. That was on Christmas eve another year.
I enjoy hearing and know what is going on around me. To each his or her own.
