Fulton County Test Transmissions on TG 32277

[kevino]

While listening to Broadcastify STARCOM21 recordings today, I came across a series of transmissions from the past week or so on TG 32277 consisting of a steady alert tone followed by someone saying (what sounded like) something about a test for Fulton County police scanner, Open M.A.C. and Broadcastify. The person speaking sounded rushed and nervous, the audio was fairly weak, and a number of transmissions were made in the very early morning hours. RID shows as "0".

Anyone know more about these broadcasts? Broadcastify users can find these recordings at Unknown/Unknown Group Calls Live .

Open MHz ?

Open MHz ?

As opposed to what sounded like Open M.A.C.? You may have hit the nail on the head, Terry! This all sounded very odd to begin with.

I wonder if that means going ENC since they are testing streaming to those platforms themselves.

On 7/5 he called it Fulton County EMS Channel other than Fulton Police scanner, Open MHZ & broadcastify

I believe he said something about the EMS channel being back in service. As I mentioned, the person making these transmissions appeared rushed and nervous, and the audio levels were low. I had to listen to the recordings a number of times to get what I passed along.

Now that I've listened to it a few times it doesn't sound digital whatsoever there was a guy broadcasting analog to calls on one of the KaneComm Fire TGs a while ago and this sounds like that. The Freq that's showing up is 153.4675. so I'm guessing this is a user broadcasting this

Seems like to me that the person is transmitting it on a Baofeng from a couple of tranmissions at the end with the "Roger Beep" tone. That is what I would call a "Whacker."

We would like to inform you that some officers and deputies have switched to their encrypted channels. However, the primary channel is still being used for some communications. The reason for the switch to encrypted channels is currently unclear. We will provide updates as soon as we can hear from all officers and deputies.
