I was at Rooster Days this past weekend and finally heard the OS digital from BA's portables. Sounded horrible compared to some of the P25 portables I've used.
I was at Rooster Days this past weekend and finally heard the OS digital from BA's portables. Sounded horrible compared to some of the P25 portables I've used.
There was a lot of traffic on the original Edacs system from the RD event last weekend. Not sure what the ID's were as the radio was upstairs and I could hear the traffic coming out of the room the scanner is in.
853.7125 I have what sounds like a OS control channel.
However, when running Unitrunker... the 853.1625 shows up as a P25 control channel networked into the BA P25 system.
So there may be some light at the end of the tunnel? If they go P25 then we can monitor them with a digital scanner as long as there is no encryption right? I wonder if BA is realizing they made a mistake with OS and are implmenting the rest of the expansion of the system with P25. That would good news for those areas!
Hopefully. I'm pretty sure TG4000 is bixby pd and Tg4500 is bixby FD on the BA P25 system. I rarely have any hits on those, but when I do they are not encrypted. (Ive looked the addresses up that they are dispatched to and they have been in Bixby). I've still heard Bixby on the EDACS system, so maybe the hits I have are them doing some testing or something.
I'm monitoring the new Bixby system that is in the database as Opensky. It should be corrected. It is actually site 017 of the BA P25 system. Only one frequency has Opensky digital sounds.
Tonight I am hearing wagoner county sheriff on the Bixby site. A few radios logged into the Bixby site and joined the wagoner group. and I heard Bixby fire on 4500
I've been listening to the Bixby P-25 site, and I have been hearing traffic on TGs 4000, and 3005. The problem is that I am a bit too far away from the site to get a high fidelity voice on Uni-Trunker, does anyone have any idea what they are? They aren't encrypted. If I had to make a wild guess, id say that 4000 is Bixby PD, just because Bixby fire is 4500.
