Freeport PD to DMR?

[freqhopping]

I'm back here on vacation again. I haven't heard them on analog. I have found 158.85 with color code 4, apparently encrypted because my 436HP hasn't recorded anything. WRKS207 is new as of 2021 and includes DMR. Now I'll have to watch for talkgroups.


It's looking like Falmouth PD tac 1 is TG782 slot 2 and it's encrypted. They're currently working what is sounding like a water search for someone in the area of Presumpscot Falls Park. Divers from Portland have been called.

If they have the same radio shop and follow the same pattern as Falmouth, Freeport's TG would be 865. It can be verified on the input (155.0475).

Hearing Freeport PD dispatch regularly now. TG865 slot1. Oddly in discovery mode my scanner logs 16777215 more than 865. All the 865 hits show 0 seconds duration. 16777215 does have duration.

Excellent catch.
Freeport PD 158.8500 CC 4 TG 865 TS1
Sounds like they also use "DMR All Call" TG 16777215.

I programmed it in my TYT for RX only. It will show activity but not pass any voice. ???

This is Brunswick's repeater input.

Falmouth PD is completely encrypted on both Tac 1 and Tac 2. They encrypt their primary from dispatch depending on the incident.

Freeport PD when DMR partially encrypted approximately 7/21/22. Freeport fire will be following within the next two weeks according to my sources.

I heard it clear as could be in South Freeport. Are they running more power than the mobile units?

@sfd745 You should update the DB to reflect these changes.

 

[sfd745]

@W1KNE - I am waiting for the complete information as they are working out some bugs. As soon as I have it, I will update the DB and submit it over to you at SNE. I didn't want to submit information that is fluid.

How do they get away going DMR with fire without NFPA rated radio's and mics and cool green colored radio's? Interesting...

Ask Holyoke Mass. They've been DMR on their fire frequencies for several years now.

I put the info from the database in my xpr7550 and I get some transmissions but then sometimes I also just get a random chirp like noise. I'm not new to DMR but I am knew to DMR encryption. Is that chirp all that comes across for an encrypted transmission as I don't have the key?
