Madison County Fire Dispatch

[w3mad]

Not too many months ago I used to listen to Madison County Fire Dispatch on my Amateur Radio. I understand they switched to P25 encrypted system. I now have a Home Patrol 2, but I am still unable to hear any of the Madison County Fire Dispatch communications. I checked to be sure that I have them in my list of services and I do.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

As I read the database, pretty much all of Madison County and Huntsville are zipped up tight with encryption.

Yes, ALL county fire talk groups are encrypted. They have one channel that they page on, one dispatch channel, and 4 ops channels. Each fire dept. has their own private talkgroup too.
