I always keep a scan list in the radios that I've named "Random/ChiCom". It contains all the usual suspects, MURS, GMRS, FRS and the business trash band freqs, ala 151.805, 158,400, 467.xxxx. It also contains the factory preset freqs for most of the popular Chinese crap radios, i.e. the UV5-R, the Retevis series and such.

Today I found the Baofeng Ch-2 preset, 462.225, active in P25 mode, with a NAC of $B10, completely encrypted. RIDs were all in the 672xxxx series. 11 transmissions received from the downtown Gulfport area.

Checking my various databases, I've never received any of the RIDs before on any frequency, and I've never logged that NAC, anywhere I've travelled.

More work to be done.

Well it's a chemical company in Gulfport, and they're licensed to that frequency, and the emission code is showing 7K60FXE. So yeah DMR, not P25. Hmm. You do know we've been getting warm weather rolling in with fog. Any time cold air collides with warm air it creates tropospheric ducting. Maybe your hit was from a distant station and not local, like the time you picked up the federal UHF signal and found out it wasn't the VA, and it was somewhere in Louisiana. just saying.

Anything is indeed possible. The signal seems like it came fading in and then stopped dead. I was parked at GPD when this happened so my initial thought was someone going into the federal courthouse sally port down the street.

It's only when looking at the screen live, in real-time -- or you'll need to record everything and use EZSCAN to review the hits later. Trunk and CONV behave a little differently too.

A little more piracy to note:

The shuttles that transfer guests and employees between the Island View properties appears to be using an unlicensed repeater on 461.4250 (D023). This also helps confirm to me why I've never heard them on the casino's DMR system.

If you're in the Harrison County area, you shouldn't have an issue hearing this one as it is repeated and has a big footprint. I initially heard it when I was at the far east end of Biloxi last week and, after listening to WAY too many recordings of the traffic, finally pieced it together. I get it 5x5 at my place in Gulfport, even with a rubber duckie antenna.

Yeah, I first found it last week. I was at the Golden Nugget in a conference for two days and one of the radios had hundreds of recordings on it. At first I thought it was Boomtown (which is why that freq was in the radio in the first place) but quickly remembered Boomtown is using DMR. After listening to the recordings it was easy to figure out the "who" part.
