Hotter'N Hell Hundred

Probably not many people care and I don't think there are many RR members in this area, but the Hotter'N Hell Hundred is going on this weekend in Wichita Falls. It was canceled last year.

Was you able to hear anything on the PD TGs or was everything encrypted?

All WFPD talkgroups are supposed to be strapped encrypted. All normal PD traffic is encrypted.
Most of the time all talkgroups on the system are phase 2.

There are a few radios with some type of programming error or other problem that sometimes causes talkgroups to be phase 1. This happens on both PD and FD talkgroups. It can last for hours.

There are a few PD radios that make non-encrypted phase 1 transmissions for some reason. Occasionally, usually when something big is going on, you will hear individual clear phase 1 transmissions from one radio. I have only seen this on some of the PD tactical talkgroups and what sounded like surveillance or SWAT team communications. I haven't seen it on the heavily used dispatch and records talkgoups.

Something similar happened on the now defunct EDACS system. All PD talkgroups were encrypted ProVoice but occasionally you would hear individual clear analog transmissions on PD talkgroups.

Being a former WF resident I remember when they went pro voice and enc I left before they bailed PV. I still try to keep up on whats going on every once in awhile by looking at the CAD. The news media is still the same when it comes to reporting even though they are supposed to have radios to monitor, if something happens on the weekend 3& 6 both do not report on it till Tuesday and then it is just a press release...
