1001 is using speech inversion.

 

[W4EMS]

Also 2001 Fire dispatch using speech inversion.
1002 Appears DES encryption

 

[INDY72]

Inversion on a P25 system? Really?

 

[W4EMS]

Nope. I apologize to all. Something went awry with Proscan and all the recordings were "scrambled". Did not relize it until I listened to a couple I knew were clear. Had to reformat all of the Proscan networking and now recording well just have not heard any furrther Lebanon TRS traffic.
(Reported t#2 and 3 to get them deleted).

 

[INDY72]

Probably all TE now.

 

[W4EMS]

Given their history would not be surprised after the break-in period.

It looks like all main channels in this system are clear PD dispatch, Fire Dispatch, etc.

 

[jpryor]

Not a lot of new info here, with most back channels secure, unless we hear somebody refer to one by name, likely just best to list for generic use.

I did however see a new peer site active, there is a site 4 which is at Wilson Central high school. I cannot receive over the air from farther away. I suspect pretty low profile for that location only which falls under City responsibility for police/fire and such. Odd it would not just be another simulcast tower site, versus a standalone site. That high school complex must be large enough that a bi-directional amplifier would not have been sufficient for extending coverage.

Sorry to RUIN your surprise!

 

[W4EMS]

What surprise? That was a verb, not an object. All relative. As noted back channels E, dispatch still clear, much as it has been since inception.

 

[lfd538]

Wow, so serious. Just cutting up with you, I wasn’t going to E our primary dispatch channels even though it was discussed. Guess we’ll stick with history!

 

[jpryor]

For the RR DB, would it be best to have Site 7 named as "Hickory Ridge" and Site 10 as "Jennings Knob"?

Did this system change within the last few days? I'm receiving MTRTRS and TACN just fine, but my 436 has stopped receiving data from the Lebanon system. Firmware is up to date and I did a fresh write of the scan list from Sentinel. Not getting any signal/data on any of the 3 Lebanon towers and I'm in Lebanon.

Disregard... I see that the system freqs have changed.
