We're 8 days into October. Has Brevard gone dark?Unfortunately for us listeners, I've heard they hope to be county wide encrypted on 10/1/25

I would say 95-99% of public safety is all moved to P25 and ENC. there’s still a few TGs that are mixed but it’s not consistent.We're 8 days into October. Has Brevard gone dark?
Thanks.I would say 95-99% of public safety is all moved to P25 and ENC. there’s still a few TGs that are mixed but it’s not consistent.
There’s a few radios that still need to be reprogrammed before the switch to ENC is 100%
Transit buses were the only TGs that were still active on EDACS earlier today
where did you see that IRCFR is running mutual aid with BCFR?As of today Oct 9th 2025-Indian River county fire rescue is now encrypted & does some mutual aid to Brevard county
IRCFD is not encrypted, I listen to them everyday, possibly some channels but not all of themAs of today Oct 9th 2025-Indian River county fire rescue is now encrypted & does some mutual aid to Brevard county
I'll allow to discuss MA between Brevard and Indian River Co.Think this should be moved to the Indian River county page and not Brevard County
When they have an incident on the county line near Mims they both roll due to the 911 calls from each countywhere did you see that IRCFR is running mutual aid with BCFR?
It is now, I have 1 friend that states it comes up Encrypted on the fd channel on his SDS and another friend that has heard nothing in 2 days so I asked a close friend on the sheriff dept and said it was. Even the simulcast is goneIRCFD is not encrypted, I listen to them everyday, possibly some channels but not all of them
Mims is the north end of the county. They’ve been doing that for a while now with Orange County and Volusia as well.When they have an incident on the county line near Mims they both roll due to the 911 calls from each county
But if Seminole and Orange County fire don’t have brevards painful secret encryption, then do they use one of OCFR or SCFD channels?Yes. Brevard does many mutual aid calls with Volusia and Seminole that ive heard. Now that all 3 are going (or are already) P25, the mutual aid is much easier with radio coms.
The same can be said about the other counties that share borders with Breaverd, like Indan River Orange, or Osceolla.
Also seems the paging system changed as well to tones vs what they had before with the synthesized page out voice.just FYI, as of today, 10/17 (1230am) several of the BCFR Paging TGs and the "countywide" talkgroup are in the clear.
The tones is the backup system if there is a issue with the synthesized paging system, When they started to transition to P25, there were a few issues with some of the stationsAlso seems the paging system changed as well to tones vs what they had before with the synthesized page out voice.
Forget the IHB part of that - they fire was patched with police due to an incident.Oddly enough though Cocoa still coming through in the clear. IHB fire coming through in the clear but on the Police Dispatch talkgroup.
