DOC using P25

[N9JIG]

As I was passing the Lewis State Prison between Buckeye and Gila Bend this afternoon I got a CloseCall hit on 156.6625, in P25 mode. One side was encrypted and the other in the clear with NAC 293. I didn't have time to stick around and see if anything else was digital or not. The last time I ran thru there a couple months ago I only hear analog traffic on their normal freqs.

I suspect that a P25 conversion has started.

Nice. Were you on a record capable scanner? I'm thinking of stopping around for a couple hours at a local gas station or off remote road in the next valley over from me to try and record the nearby prison trunk system.

I hope this is helpful. The last few times I've gone through Gila Bend, AZ on I-8 I have been picking up unknown TG 2001 on AZWIN. The sites were Yuma 1 & 2. The UID's were 7 digits beginning with a 1 or 2. The transmissions were addressing the beginning or ending of interior or exterior patrols. I think they were from a prison, but not sure.
