4003 is simply called "LE West"
I will keep listening and logging radio traffic, and see if i can determine what they call their LE West secure channel.
thanks
As on the old system, there are two channels for Law East and Law West. One is clear and one is encrypted/secure. When either a Law West subscriber or a Bellevue Police subscriber wants to talk to dispatch on the 'SECURE' dispatch channel, they call it '2', 'digital', or 'secure'.
So, you'll hear many different things. So...I'm guessing here, but any Bellevue PD radio probably has position '1' on their radios as LE EAST...LE EAST (secure/digital/protected/encrypted) is '2' on their channel selector. Three (on east and west) is 'INFO' which is also (secure/digital/protected/encrypted). Same with LE WEST.
I've always had an issue with the whole thing of users calling an encrypted channel 'digital' because the channel they're using is already digital.
So...as far as I have and confirmed by monitoring both via voice and CC decoding programs:
4001=LE EAST (Bellevue PD clear, unencrypted, plain...but...digital)
4202=LE EAST (Bellevue PD unclear, encrypted, not plain, but digital...called Channel 2, 2, Secure, Digital)
4003=LE WEST (Non-Bellevue LE clear, unencrypted, plain...but...digital)
4254=LE WEST (Non-Bellevue LE unclear, encrypted, not plain, but digital...called Channel 2, 2, Secure, Digital)
Bottom line, I figure anything listed in the DB as DE is always encrypted. Maybe that's my mistake.
Hope that helps and makes sense.
