Friendswood Texas PD question

[kmartin]

I haven't heard any traffic from friendswood PD in quite sometime on the Galveston simulcast site so I'm assuming they are using their own site on TXWARN but someone told me they can no longer be monitored because they use encryption ? Does anyone know if this is so ?

Yes FWPD is ENC has been for some time now... at least 3 years...

 

[kmartin]

It doesn't show this in the database ? Probably should be updated

 

[KG1ADP]

Their primary channel is not enc its an interop channel the rest is enc

 

[kmartin]

So calls for the PD are still in the clear ?

 

[KG1ADP]

No… ENC

The current primary channel 5CB is now a Interop channel for other agencies to talk to them thats in the clear the rest is ENC besides ch.8 event channel.

I have already submitted the update

Okay. Thanks for clearing that up and updating that info
