I get an E on a TG that is used for drug enforcement under cover ops. I can still hear what is being said, although there is what sounds like a busy dial tone at the end of transmission.I wonder if they think in is encrypted when it actually is not?

Mandcaff: what type of system are you listening to? P25? DMR? Is the 'busy dial tone' at the end of every transmission or just some of them?

Its P25 and at the end of every transmission

The busy tone indicates that the radio is receiving encryption and blocking it.

If the talkgroup had been previously reported as fully encrypted, it's possible that someone forgot to switch on the encryption on their radio.
