The Mtn. Pine Marshall is about the only ones using 155.445 as they don't have full AWIN capabilities.

So, main dispatch on 21601 is unencrypted (for now), good. You mentioned other talk groups, tac and CID... what are those talk groups?
Not sure on those talkgroups as I am having to do a wildcard search for them. 21601 is totally unencrypted with no plans for encryption.

I have a friend who works for GCSO and they have informed me that TAC and CID will be encrypted.

I have no issues with those being encrypted, only when the main talkgroup is.

Are the Blue Mountain & Pearcy Mountain sites live full-time now, along with Blowout on 700 Mhz? Seems like my reception has improved on the back side of the Village. Normally, we have a ridge between us & the Blowout site. Not sure if that's because 700 has better punch-thru or if Blue Mountain is filling it in. They all will be known as Garland County Simulcast sites with same frequencies.
I was looking at the new Hot Springs Simulcast license & the 3 sites will be: one on a ridge along Fox Pass, one atop the old Rehab building and one on the cell tower near Rod's Pizza. They should have a lot better coverage once they go live next year.
I agree with other posters, as long as dispatch is in the clear for PD & SO I'm happy. CID & SWAT need to be encrypted. Hope the VFD's remain clear. I'll add those TG's you mentioned for them in my FreeScan.

Good, I thought so. Was picking up Garland County Simulcast on the way to Benton on Hwy 5. Probably the new Jessieville site. Thanks for the info.
New Garland Co. TGs 18468 is Lake Hamilton FD, 18472 is Jessieville, and 21601 is now GAR Multi. The Alpha Tag for 18451 is actually GAR SO DISP

When this start I was hearing them today using a Pro 651 and my WS1098

I'm thinking it's a programming issue. What sites are you using?
Garland County Simulcast Jack Mountain and Magnet

Anything from the New 700 MHz Hot Springs Simulcast yet? Really hoping its alive so I can get it built in the DB.

I pass all 3 sites on my way to work, but I haven't heard anything yet. I only have a Phase I scanner. I just noticed the city will be using Phase II.
