Planning a trip to Sanibel in June. How much of Lee County is still using the old system,.and what agencies are using the new P25 system? Is anything encrypted yet? Any info on Sanibel PD would be helpful also.

I almost exclusively monitor the fire and EMS. Most of the time I use the 154.325 VHF. No change on VHF. I am still getting FIRE and EMS on the 800mhz analog system. I seem to get just as must as before. When I monitor just the raw 800mhz channels, I find lots of traffic. I hear lots of law enforcement when I just monitor the raw channels. I will not have a digital radio until next month so I do not know about the digital system. Bottom line, lots of analog right now.

Complicated 10-code system

It's been six years since I moved away from Lee County, so I'm not completely sure of the status of their new system. But one thing I do remember is that LCSO and Fort Myers Police use a very complicated 10 code system, which consists of not only 10-xx, but also "status" and "code" codes. It made it very difficult to keep track of what was being said. Personally I like police departments that have dispensed with using any 10-codes at all. Lincoln Police Department (Nebraska) is like this, for example.

I'm not sure it is still current, but if you like I can email you the list I compiled for the 10-code and signal system for Lee County Sheriffs Department. It is one of the four tabs along the bottom of the Excel file.

Yes, I would like it. Can you send me a PM?

Last time I was in the fort myers area it was December 2010, it's now june 2011 and I'm down here once again visiting my parents. Monitoring both p25 and analogue with my pro-106, and haven't noticed any changes since Christmas. Haven't heard any encryption so far, and in kansas city where I live, there is some p25 encryption used there, so I know what it sounds like. Still hearing cape coral and fort myers, will have to listen a little closer for Sanabel. But everything still sounds wide open so far. Will post with updates if I notice anything different while I'm here (on a 2 month vacation).

I just returned from a vacation on Sanibel. I heard Cape Coral and some EMS dispatching on the P25 - no encryption. I tried hard to pick up Sanibel PD - but no luck. Nothing on the P25, the current analog system, or Sanibel's frequency from last year - 859.5125. I also tried searching all talkgroups on the P25. Very confusing - where could they be?

Haven't heard Sanabel yet, but it looks like most of the p25 system switched to full encryption this morning. Fire and ems is still in the clear. Have only been listening for a half hour, but thats what it looked like when I turned on the pro-106 this morning. :( Will post updates if I hear anything different.

Any updates on Lee's system? Have you found Sanibel PD?
