Putnam Co. EMS Dispatch ENC traffic...

[DJ11DLN]

Caught a hissing, snarling motorboat on this TG a few times the last couple of days...just wondering if anyone else is hearing it. Haven't heard them do this before.

A motorboating sound does not mean it's encrypted.

Evidently it wasn't. I heard radio repair talking to them later and there was some reference to a problem being resolved. Haven't heard the racket since and they've had some runs today. Sorry for the false alarm.

Motorboating sound is not encryption,... Encryption is more a garbled data buzzing type sound. Motorboating indicates something is not connecting properly network wise, or a very poor reception.

I monitor tlakgroup 5280 67 EMS all the time thru the Boone County Safe-t site. This talkgroup is not encryption. If the talkgroup is encrypited the scanner will show a ENC indicator on the scanner display. This is what is does on my Uniden 396xt.
