Seminole County (4CF.BEE00)

[RF-Burns]

So after reading the last thread which was filled with apparent misinformation, can anyone confirm if Seminole Fire has gone encrypted? I'm coming down in a few weeks and debating on programming my XL200.

If they did, no one updated the database. (Still mode "D")

https://www.radioreference.com/db/t... as locals taking the time to submit changes.

The database is only as the locals taking time to submit changes. If you read the last thread, you will understand why I asked.

"When/if" leads me to suspect it hasn't happened yet..

I agree that thread was full of misinformation, and I suspect that's why it was closed. It's a shame to the people who are actually curious or contribute meaningful and valuable info to the topic instead of just spreading lies and misinformation. I swear as soon as encryption is mentioned the thread is thrown off a cliff.

While I don't have any inside information or monitor the system normaly, when I checked last time (In November), everything was clear and nothing had changed. I'll see if I can confirm again in the next few weeks unless more locals can chime in by actually monitoring the system.

The database can be slow to update, especially in Florida. Sometimes, it does not update at all. But then again, the only way the database gets updated is if people submit it. After that, there's an additional waiting period, depending on how long it gets seen by a DB Admin and then entered by the admin.

just a data point for everyone. The Florida RR dB is only updated when information is submitted. No inputs = no data updates. Even the admins must use the same data submission process as everyone else to ensure that data is trackable from input to processing.

we have not seen any significant inputs to the Seminole system since May 2024.

I assure you that when/if the "Big E" is thrown - and someone submits good/valid data - the system will be updated promptly.

For whatever reason, the Seminole County system is very hard for me to listen to from my QTH, so I cannot confirm any changes beyond what is submitted to the RR dB.

just out of curiosity, i checked -- I can hear the Seminole system this morning.

the last hour or so - I've not seen a single encrypted call on this system.

I do see an unlisted TG, 8403 - that is not listed in the RR dB.

Thank you for an answer to my question. I'll program the system today. I appreciate your dedication to the RR Community.

I've also been listening to Seminole this morning (including Sheriff Disp) in the clear from Daytona Beach.

After an unbelievable band opening again, I was able to monitor Seminole and I did not see any encryption anywhere.
Also, looking through the database, I did notice this note on the DB page.

Seminole County has changed it's fire station alerting/paging system from a Motorola QCII system with voice dispatch simulcast on 154.235 (103.5) to an POCSAG 512 kbps alphanumeric paging system on 153.995 and an IP based alerting system over the county fiber optic network.

Hope this helps!

Yes, that is what I mentioned and I am aware of how the DB works.

I’m sorry about the last post,,, I was told false info and I am an idiot for believing it… YES Seminole county is in the Clear for now and hopefully stays clear.

 

[LAFD_firefighter]

I looked at a fire dept radio and saw they had ANOTHER ZONE
Is there any info on talkgroups and stuff?
I also saw SCSO had another zone of channels that were not the ZONE19 channels…
Does anybody know any info on any new TGs with Seminole county?

Thanks

the Florida forum did not have a master thread for Seminole County. This will be the master system thread.
