Does anyone know if Manchester PD is Dispatching Encrypted on Channel #1. I hear units answering and calling into Dispatch but I never hear the Dispatchers. Would they run like that with only Dispatchers using encryption?
Just found out today that Manchester PD 1 is indeed encrypted for the Dispatchers outbound transmissions, the portables and mobiles inbound are transmitting in the clear or can encrypt optionally. PD 2 & PD 3 are full time encrypted. Rumor is that they will transition to full time encryption at some point.
Once the statewide system encrypts that'll pretty much be it.
Not at all. I have no idea where this dude got that from lolIs that confirmed anywhere?
No, but as has been mentioned in the CSERN thread, each troop will eventually have its own secure channel. They aren't adding those talk groups just for fun, so we shall see.Is that confirmed anywhere?
Ah that makes more sense but I HIGHLY doubt that all primary channels will encrypt thoughNo, but as has been mentioned in the CSERN thread, each troop will eventually have its own secure channel. They aren't adding those talk groups just for fun, so we shall see.
Find out anything about ch3?One knows about Ch 1 & 2
Was not aware of Ch 3, What frequency might it be ?
Yes I noticed the dispatch was going code 5, I put out a text to a town worker that would know, awaiting a answer
Find out anything about ch3?
According to the ULS it is WPRF406 and the contact info lists Manchester PD. Appears to be very low powered compared to the other two frequencies.Found this on scan new englands website.
453.9750 N430 Labeled channel 3 and detectives
if you take a look at the frequency list one states part time encryption, & the other is FULL time, thus the message that I was provided by a scanner Company as of 12:00 pm 08/21/2019 thats what you ALL should know by reading the programming list at RadioReference.com !Last I knew, Manchester PD 1 was always in the clear and PD 2 was encryption cpable if needed.
