Good day to all. My name is Kevin and I currently reside in Pinellas County, Florida but I plan to move to Cherokee County, NC sometime in the next few months. I currently provide the PD/SO feed for Pinellas County which is on a Motorola Smartzone I/II hybrid system and currently upgrading to APCO-25 Digital.
In looking in the databases, it appears that Cherokee County, Police, Sheriff, and Fire/EMS still use conventional VHF FM as I see no reference in the VIPER list.
I have two questions....am I correct regarding VHF and is it broadcast in the clear or encrypted...and the second question is regarding VIPER for the State Patrol....is it all digital or is there still some analog...if its digital or drops below 806 MHz I will need to upgrade to the newest digital multiple band/multiple split scanner.
Also, I will be looking for the active 2M and 1/4 M HAM frequencies for the area, any help would be appreciated
