Can the Baldwin County Sheriff' Department, be heard on a scanner?
Thanks
Thanks
It is best to have a P25 Phase 2 scanner to hear Baldwin County on the 700 mhz Trunked System . Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are the only ones still using P25 Phase 1 on 700 mhz Trunked System. You can still hear some of the Fire on VHF they simulcast some of them. The database is pretty accurate for Baldwin County.
Yes, Gulf Shores PD is encrypted, while Orange Beach is not. Fairhope is back on LTR and although Daphne is supposed to be going Nexedge (like Foley), as of now they are still on their LTR system for some reason.
Speaking of Mobile County, are the County FD and Sheriff still on EDACS analog?
Fairhope will be P25 phase II in the upcoming months. Orange Beach has begun the migration to phase II as well, but will stay phase I until all of the phase II is online.
Gonna order the 536 soon.
Hopefully Fairhope will be in the clear, as I feel better knowing I can keep up with stuff in my own hometown. I assume they will be on the county system and not on their own?
What issues are you having, with the audio, on the 536, on P25 Phase 2?
City Fire runs their own feed on Broadcastify.A couple of observations after listening last night into this morning.
What you hear on the 700 system depends on what towers you can receive. Summersdale seems to come in exclusively on the Robersdale tower. I heard Loxley on a couple of towers, but of course I can't remember which ones. I think one was Spanish Fort.
I heard Baldwin County Fire on both the 700 and VHF systems. I think that's normal.
Fairhope Police use the LTR system, but I only heard the FD on VHF conventional.
Daphne is still on their LTR system, which sounds good. I heard traffic on both sites, I'm guessing that which one is used is based on location.
I heard MedStar a few times on the 700 system.
The Mobile County EDACS is pretty busy, but that shouldn't surprise me. I miss hearing Mobile City, too bad that they moved.
Yes, they will be on the county P25 system.
Any idea of the time frame for the Fairhope move?
