Stamford FD
I agree it doesnt make any sense to encrypt the FD, police I can understand becuase they dont want criminals listening into their communications. What harm is done if the FD is not encrypted. At least they have the patch so that the volunteers can here. Having the FD and PD encrypted must make it a nightmare for mutual aid. What happens if a department has to go to stamford for mutual aid. I bet they dont have Stamford Trunked Radios in all the trucks in the surrounding towns. Sounds like the City of Stamford is paranoid about something. Maybe they had a bad experience with someone listening in, who knows, hopefully they make the fd channels clear so that the public and news agencies can listen in.
