Bartow Co. Phase II 700mhz P25 System

[RRR]

Yep, most systems are tested in unencrypted mode, and even deployed unencrypted at first, before the main encryption starts. Henry county is one example...

Our ATP was done in clear, TDMA. But this is all in how the customer wants it done. Having done it, many days of driving around with a Voyager kit being told by your drive tester "turn here! No wait, go back, we need to hit that grid"...

MTS is the Metro Area making a regional system?

Bartow County 700 MHz Site is showing in RR to be Site 105, 1 (1) - 005 (5).
Forsyth County 800 MHz Site is also showing in RR to be Site 105, 1 (1) - 005 (5).
The Site ID for Forsyth County 800 MHz Site may have changed. There can't be two Site 105's.
This is some info I found that might be of interest, some may be a little out of date.

According to my receive-only KNG radio (which has Full Spectrum Scan enabled so will hunt down Forsyth regardless of frequencies or site programming, so long as my SysID entry is correct), Forsyth County is Site 7. I am hearing Forsyth SO Patrol 1 on that.

Bartow County's new system should be going LIVE on February 17th.

 

[Casey]

Coming up soon...I guess they aren't waiting for full leaves on trees testing?

 

[MasonRobersonMD]

Spoke with Bartow County Sheriff's Office today. They advised me that their channel will be encrypted. I'll let you know if I find out anymore encryption wise for any other agency on the system.

Polk County still tells that to anyone who asks. It's not.

 

[w4amp]

Hearing lots of site tests today.

A friend of mine just told me that Bartow Fire, along with SOME LE channels will be in the clear and NOT ENCRYPTED. Some Bartow LE will be encrypted, for obvious reasons. There seems to be a rumor going around to the contrary. The new system should be operational soon. Listen to it. Trust me. My source is never wrong. Happy scanning.

Bartow County's new system should be going LIVE on February 17th.

Is anyone listening today? Is it LIVE?

 

[BartowCountyScanner]

It has been delayed for a few more weeks. Still some hardware to get installed.

 

[30319]

Thanks for the quick reply! Stay safe!

 

[30319]

New system is up and operational. Possibly 100% encrypted? Can anyone confirm this please? It's contrary to what I was told regarding encryption.

 

[w4amp]

Doing a Discovery now. All the groups I am seeing are encrypted. Rig is a SDS200. 36663, 36102, 36107, and 36510 are all encrypted. Will update after I stop the discovery this afternoon.

 

[w4amp]

All Law enforcement is encrypted. But it looks like fire is in the clear. 36204, Cartersville Fire was received during the discovery. Also hearing Bartow Fire on the same group.

73
