Lake Village Gone Digital?

[steve0622]

I have family that lives in Lake Village and the PD there uses 158.8875. About 3 months ago, my family started hearing a "whirly bird" sound on that frequency when the PD keys up. Does this mean they have went digital? And if so, can anyone find out what the DPL Tone is.

Thanks

Steve

They went digital. I think it is going to be a Motorola TRBO type system (same as in use by Drew Co SO.) which is not able to be monitored by scanners.

thanks for the replies. My family said they are also heading the same thing on the Dermott PD frequency as well. I guess Dermott is using the same type of system.

Per the latest FCC information for the updated lic,... and the new emission codes.. They have gone MotoTRBO.

Someone better get on the ball and hack MotoTRBO or public safety scanning will slowly die.

Prolly never happen in a million years tho!!!
