I have noticed that the new combined dispatch (Sheriff and Cheyenne Police) re arranged their channels. PD is now using the SO repeater 155.79 and SO is using the PD repeater 154.8. Has anyone else noticed this?

Combined Dispatch
From what I have listened too,
They LE1=155.79 old SO primary
LE2=154.800 old PD primary
LE3=155.655 east/west channel?
I think they still their c/c channels for on scene.

New Channels
Yep the channels are called LE 1 155.79 LE 2 154.8, but I haven't heard any traffic on 155.655 for a while. They are referring to the car to car channels as ONSCENE 1 , 2 etc.
154.755 has been called onscene 2. Also the PD has started sending a MCS id during transmission. The IDs are 10xx for SO and 20XX for PD. XX is the badge number. I guess its time to reprogram a bunch of scanners. Nothing heard on Wyo Link yet.

155.655
The reason for no traffic on 155.655 is that they changed the PL tone to 173.8. It is now used as the west channel.

Does Cheyenne Fire/Police plan on switching over the WyoLink System in the future?

Whoops
I think 155.655 173.8hz is the east channel. 155.655 100hz is the west channel. I will have to try to nail it down before updating the database. I haven't heard of any plans to switch to Wyolink, but Goshen county used some grants to buy digital radios for their fire depts so they must be planning on Wyolink coming online in the next few years.

WyoLink in Laramie Co.
Laramie County, City of Cheyenne will go to WyoLink, you can count on it, they purchased the Astro mobiles and portables. The xls5000? model. The re-organization of com's in Laramie Co. is because they expected to move to WyoLink last July. Presently the current system is a stop gap measure. An I bet you it will be mostly encrypted.

Shootout and standoff
Yesterday there was a shoot out and standoff in the southwest of Cheyenne. The newspaper story mentions scanner reports like 4 times! Most of the traffic was on LE 1 and LE 2, but ONSCENE 2 was used to coordinate at the blocked off area. I also heard someone say go to ONSCENE 1, but I could not figure out what channel that was. Any ideas? The Laramie County EMA channel was being used also, as they had set up a command post.

That's funny, someone should remind the media up there that they are breaking the law when they repeat what they've heard on a scanner. It's Ok to listen, you're just not supposed to repeat it (not a very enforced law, but they were kind of blatant about it in the article). That's why, even though the media listens all the time, they don't mention scanners usually, and instead only use official statements made by the department spokesperson.

Why the pessimistic outlook? While encryption is bandied about by a lot of agencies in the end the vast majority of them end up deciding it isn't all that great a deal and use it on a fairly limited basis. (Usually it is `interoperability?' that `trips them up'. Even if most of the radios can sometimes switch over `automagically' when presented with an encrypted signal a lot of agencies don't opt for it and tend to raise cain about it's use on a full time basis for no other reason than `hiding from the public all the time' like it is usually done.) Yeah... I know about some agencies who are using it for assorted suspicious reasons and claim that they'll keep on using it no matter what. While they may be `the only game in town' for now I suspect that unless there comes a *major* `climate change' in the country as a whole they will eventually discontinue it's use on everything except a few communications. (For the most part encryption is a significant violation of the KISS principle and good old Edsal Murphy will step in.) The thing that we as `scannists' can do is `educate' those who are either thinking about it or have actually enabled it in the various `features' and `non-features' of it. Carefully point out it's pros and cons along with the fact that even we, for the majority of us at least, think that there *are* *some* times when it serves a useful function. (In the case of one system I keep hearing about I kinda figure that it is more of a `Flashlight Freddy' syndrome that has influenced their decision. {VB GRIN!} While they *may* be a `big frog in a small puddle' they are still locked into a '50s small town constable "I am ghod" thinking that the original `Flashlight Freddy' exemplified. [I remember driving through his jurisdiction carefully keeping an eye peeled for his light bedecked patrol car worrying about just what supposed `infraction' he might be on a tear about at the time. *If* one *could* find a way around it, his jurisdiction, one usually would go that way even if it meant more time or miles doing it! It never seemed to matter to him if he eventually won or lost in court just as long as he was able to `strut his stuff' and inconvienence people as a display of his `power'. It finally took the almost complete collapse of the town's economy to get him out of `office'. Unfortunately because of that and the eventual re-routing of the highways, for various reasons, the last time I was up there the town really hasn't recovered and is basically only a `footnote' comparatively speaking.(Yes, unfortunately, I *am* that old! {WAN GRIN!})] We just have to keep on patiently plugging away at it.)
Yep
You're right, a lot of people get them mixed up because Cheyenne is in Laramie County, and the city of Laramie is in Albany County.

I take it that none of the agencies have moved to digital yet? I have been out of the scanning loop and have a few questions. Can someone PM me and talk so I dont sound like a total idiot asking questions that may have been answered? Dakotas@dotorg.org is the email addy.
