Maybe you can educate me a little... are these channels blanketed by Encryption at the server... or can a Deputy accidentally not have encryption enabled on their radio?

I ask because we caught some unencrypted transmissions -- but I also catch TAC channels popping for a millisecond on my SDS100 before the scanner moves on....
The real deal on what you are hearing is sometimes a radio will drop the encryption key by accident or improper loading.The SO has always had encryption even at the start of the 800 system in 95. It was only used for special situations and usually they just relayed on Aegis at the start and Provioce later to restrict monitoring. On portable radios whether GE Erickson, Macon, or Harris if you push the left and right top buttons it will force the encryption key to drop. It’s useful if you’re sending that radio to an outside vendor for repair. Most of the time it happens accidentally when you get excited and push a lot of buttons and don’t know what it will do

Using NAS on an apx im hearing everything else but HCFR channels except disp and cad
I've been trying to get this set up for over a year on my apx. I'm used to the protocols for the M systems. Not the Harris obviously. Any suggestions?

I don’t know if it’s because of the massive volume of calls but I’m only picking up dispatch and tac 2 despite them using every tac channel up to tac 13.

I believe I have it figured out. Seems to be a radio issue that was solved by turning the radio off and on again.

Has anyone been having trouble with the P25 East site today? I see the control channel locking in but no audio traffic is coming in at all.

EDIT: Seems to be there's some sort of control channel data bleeding over one of the frequencies on the East site that is not from the system.

Had a question, I see that RR has like a lot of frequencies listed as control channels and was just wondering if there is a dedicated control channel or if there is some type of schedule where it cycles between all those control capable channels. It might be a confusing question so just let me know if I have to elaborate.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but all the frequencies are control channels at random

Does anybody know what's going on here? There is a constant stream of P25 data going out over 774.38125 MHz on the East Site, but the control channel is at 773.23125 MHz.

And now that rogue control channel is appearing at 774.89375 MHz.

I see it identifying as site DE[222] though.

Code:
SYSTEM:32D[813] NAC:00A[10] RFSS:DE[222] SITE:DE[222] LRA:0A[10]  STATUS:ACTIVE RFSS NETWORK CONNECTION

Okay, so I've identified that there is a new site up on the P25 system. It is using frequencies from the East site. All are CC-capable.

Code:
SYSTEM:32D[813] NAC:00A[10] RFSS:DE[222] SITE:DE[222] LRA:0A[10]  STATUS:ACTIVE RFSS NETWORK CONNECTION

774.38125c
774.89375c
851.1375c
851.3875c

Meanwhile, the East site now has this configuration:

Code:
 SYSTEM:32D[813] NAC:00A[10] RFSS:02[2] SITE:02[2] LRA:0A[10]  STATUS:ACTIVE RFSS NETWORK CONNECTION
 
 769.55625c  
 770.58125c  
 771.30625c  
 771.75625c  
 771.98125c  
 772.48125c  
 773.23125c  
 773.73125c  
 851.5625  
 851.825
