I was hoping to create a broadcastify feed for Clackamas County fire and in the future the Law enforcement side in the next month or so. I have been discussing the upgrade of CCOM system with a knowledgeable source in preparation of creating the feed. This person stated that CCOM and municipalities are looking at encrypting Law channels and potentially the Fire channels.
One statement that was said was that many of the local departments are going to encrypt their channels. I have a couple of questions with regards to this.
1. Has anyone heard if Portland and other municipalities are going to encrypt channels?
2. (Statement) My background is photo journalism. Would a feed for both Clackamas Fire and Law benefit the public now and when discontinue feeds when encryption take place.
3. Does the encryption happen when the radio is keyed back to dispatch and you can only here what was sent out from dispatch?
Would like some feedback as I would purchase a inexpensive Phase 1 base instead of the more expensive Phase II.
Thanks
