Richardson Fire Department (Texas)

[KB5RKM]

It appears that all transmissions have ceased within the last couple of days for the Richardson Fire Department… I”ve been listening using a Uniden SDS-100 and the broadcastify feed and both are now silent. I assume this means that everything in this city is now locked down and encrypted?

Have you been watching the SDS display screen for the ENC icon?

No I have not as transmissions are fairly infrequent. I think I have a broken scanner as there is an error code C71h flashing. I reset scanner and now all I have is static. So the famous “cold-solder joint” problem? Still does not explain the broadcasting feed being silent yet “online” as well.

OKAY...So you weren't listening on the SDS. Perhaps reach out to the feed provider and ask them.

It's a stretch for me, but I was just able to hear a Richardson FD dispatch with a Unication G4 in NE Tarrant county.

I reset my radio and then reprogrammed and the error code is gone so who know what malfunction that was. I am now receiving again.

I really appreciate the help with confirming that the transmissions were being received by others and that it was my radio all along.

I don't think the flashing "C17h" is an error code, but the P-25 network access code (NAC) of the transmission you were listening to.

Sounds plausible, it has happened intermittently and each time it does the radio goes silent until I reboot the radio. This might be what has knocked the broadcastify feed off as well.
