Oh Crud! There's that "E" Word again! I just got done programming all of the districts in my G4!
Well, I'll be driving through Los Cruces and Alamogordo areas in May. Maybe I'll get "One Good Listen" out of NMSP before they lock it down! Bummer!!

I see that Lea County has numerous license applications, pending before the FCC to add new microwave backhaul sites throughout the county. Likewise, a few of the existing microwave sites are being upgraded as well. Are they planning to move over to the New Mexico DTRS?

No plans for Lea County to join DTRS that I'm aware of

I have heard they plan to use ISSI and connect the LEA County system to the state system so that the state does not have to build out in Lea county. The radios will all roam between the two systems allowing. I think the new Microwave Links are to connect to state sites to allow the ISSI gateways to talk.
No just upgrades on existing infrastructure. Being oil country they own their own system for the towns and county there.
It's a inevitable. Some locals plan to do a secondary tg for secure dispatch that join others fully. Mainly your rural counties and small towns seem to be doing the side secure channel setup as needed that heavily relie on reserves and vfds vems.Oh Crud! There's that "E" Word again!

There has been a group in southern NM on social media hitting a new psap hard calling santa fe recording calls complaining on petty things. In end they just put foot on with for that area and were asked to stop by locals with over posting information and they blocked the locals from the gossip page so the chief and sheriff came up with a solution. So.... Is what it is.
Looks like Eddy County is now live!

Any new news on the statewide system to enc the state highway patrol still or not?
It's in the future down road.
I think this may possibly be the community safety units that I believe are on the street in Albuquerque and they combine police officer, social worker, and paramedic in a unit when available and they respond to calls that probably won’t require transport to the hospital, but just need some medical intervention.

ACS is nothing but mental health counselors that drive around dealing with mostly homeless people. They are just another part of the bloated Keller administration's strategy to waste record amounts of money.
ABQ City Security will use alphanumeric callsigns beginning with MS. Their dispatch is referred to as "Metro."
As noted in another thread, Las Cruces Fire was recently assimilated into the NM-DTRS collective.
According to my logs, the last call from LCFD Central Dispatch on
The silent Talkgroups, however, were accompanied by an increase in activity on conventional channels. In particular, DACFD Tac 8 and DACFD Tac 9 were on the air almost daily.
Now, though, neither Tac 8 nor Tac 9 have been logged in four days.
A news release from the City of Las Cruces offers a potential explanation: "LCFD anticipates completing the switch to the 700MHz system on all radios by the end of August 2024. The Las Cruces Police Department will transition to the 700 MHz system later this year."

All of Las Cruces and Dona Ana county are making the switch to the State Radio System. Almost all new TG's are encrypted including fire and tac channels.
So of course, after I post that, Tac 8 returns. Friday October 4 at 15:34:37 MDT.
Silent meaning they finally went E? Last I was told that was the plan for entire county. Sunland Park, fire, Anthony PD joined the county with their plans to go to the dtrs. They recently were issued vp8000s. I should add it was specific they contained arc4 aka ADP and aes256 for the feature set required per DASO for fire as well.
