Garland County SD/Hot Springs PD

[dpetty121263]

About a month ago seems both Garland County SD/Hot Springs PD have gone silent least on my BCD536HP. Surrounding Counties\State Police come in fine except Malvern PD and that is another story. I updated my scanner and still no luck. My question is have they gone full encryption or changed frequencies?

That is a possibility but do you have their analog backup frequencies in? They could just be using them or on a different channel or something idk honestly.

Well I would think not, both are pretty big depts and I could see if one or the other still worked but neither work.

That's weird

That's weird

I can pick up Mongomery, Clark, Grant, Lonoke, Saline, Pulaski and others no issue and I could get everything in Garland till about a month ago.

 

[StevenHuffman1224]

Yeah that's really weird

Garland County Sheriff's Office can operate on the new Hot Springs P25, and Hot Springs Public Safety can use the AWIN for interop.

Arkansas Wireless Information Network (AWIN) Project 25 Phase II

Garland County Sheriff now uses this system full time.

Both HSPD and Garland S/O still running strong on AWIN. Hearing both right now. I'm using a Unication G4, so really cannot tell you what may be going on with your 536.

What tower are you picking up? Magnet Cove usually has both the S/O and PD traffic.

Yeah sounds like a programming issue? Maybe something changed around the time you stopped hearing them? Did you write new programming or something?
