Cookeville, TN

So I'm seeing the agency on my BCD325P2 screen, but no audio. I'm using Pro scan. What might I be doing wrong? It's Cookeville in Putnam County TN.

So are you listening to their talkgroup on TACN (50751) or the patched DMR conventional channel? If the latter, does your scanner have the paid DMR upgrade?

I did get DMR upgrade. I have a TYT portable radio and can't hear Cookeville Police on DMR anymore, so they've obviously switched to something else.

I searched the Tennessee forum & found this post reporting Cookeville PD has gone fully encrypted. If you or @motohead10 have confirmed this then a DB update should be submitted to get TGID 50751's mode changed to "TE" to indicate full encryption & to prevent future confusion. Assuming the conventional DMR patch is no longer in use that should be marked for deprecation as well

So Putnam Sheriff will encrypt depending on the nature of the call, but I still hear a gurgling sound (encryption sound) on my TYT radio (DMR). Even if Cookeville police is encrypted, wouldn't it transmit that same sound?

Did you skip over my reply to you? they are not full time Encrypted Currently. 'Assumptions' will get false info posted in the database

No the TACN Radio Encryption is Different from Basic DMR Encryption.

My apologies. Thank you.

I did verify with a senior patrol officer employed with Cookeville Police that they are indeed P25 encrypted.

So i checked the broadcastify livestream and I did hear Putnam Sheriff, but not Cookeville Police. Might need to be updated.
