Damn, this is so ridiculous and a sorry shame!!!

 

[btritch]

I agree, it would have been way cheaper to just stay on VHF and go to narrowband like we are, this way interoperability with anyone else goes out the window, I'm waiting for two things, 1. To see who gets screwed first and 2 to see how they plan to handle it during a disaster..oh well, they're problem..,they're mistake...

 

[ktedder]

Well I guess I can listen to asp with the right scanner and cropdusters. By the way what would be a good scanner to listen to Arkansas state police on?

 

[zzdiesel]

By the way what would be a good scanner to listen to Arkansas state police on?

Anyone of them that will get P25. GRE 500, 600 or 800. RS Pro-106, Pro-197 or Pro-18. Uniden 396T, 996T, 396XT, 996XT or HP1

ASP and most other state agencies are on AWIN (800mhz P25 system) so you will need a digital trunking scanner that can do P25.

You can listen to and broadcast their latest, greatest NexEdge.
Digital Speech Decoder (software package) - The RadioReference Wiki

Enjoy!

Not if there encrypted!

 

[jhsands]

From what I have heard and then seen when the check is written, "secure digital" is NexEdge or MOTOTRBO without encryption enabled. They suffice it enough to just enable their digital protocol.

It will be digital encrypted NexEDGE with a special receve/transmit code needed to listen and no way to get it and the radio shop won't give.. I've already asked.

Brian, did they make the switch? If so, is it working Ok for them?

No, It's been pushed back until further notice.. Everyone is still on the old stuff, The Narrowbanding has been pushed back until further notice... NexEDGE will probably be completed about January... They're having trouble getting equipment in I've heard.. Nothing has changed as of now..

 

[zzdiesel]

Ok. Thanks. I don't turn them on unless I know something is going on.

Does anybody know where the live feed for Arkansas State Police Troop C is located? I can't find one.

There currently isn't one.. When I get home I plan too add them the lineup in the next few weeks.. Bare with me..

Ok. That would be real nice. I'll bare with you.

 

[btritch]

I'll post again when they are live.. When it comes down too it, That's all they'll be basically besides Greene Co. Rural FD's... Everything else will be NexEDGE and not heard at all... Therefore if I want to broadcast anything it'll be AWIN.. I'm not home at the moment but when I get home I have to hook the outdoor antenna up again and when I do that I'll be ready... Give me a couple weeks probably and I'll post again when it's up and let everyone know..

 

[zzdiesel]

Brian, have you heard anymore about when Jonesboro is leaving the AWIN system?

 

[btritch]

Brian, have you heard anymore about when Jonesboro is leaving the AWIN system?

Nope, I had forgot they were, Not anytime soon I don't think but I will try to find out..

 

[zzdiesel]

I remember it was discussed for a few days and then went away.
