Is the Superior National Forest still using analog FM or have they switched to P25?

Others with more inside or institution knowledge will (hopefully) chime in, but
my understanding was that LE was the only ones going P25 - the day-day forest NETS, Fire NETS etc were to remain Analog

There are a couple of national forests in Montana that have started to use P25 for everyone. LE is using P25 as they move toward the directive of having all federal law enforcement use encryption. The NPS is using encryption in a couple of parks, but the USFS isn't there yet, as far as I know.

The latest info I have isn't current enough to answer your question. I have a 2018 frequency list that shows them on analog. Five year old information isn't worth much. The USFS isn't making changes to P25 very quickly, however. All I can say is maybe someone here has monitored this National Forest recently, although its remote location makes that a smaller chance.

Can anyone OTA validate this and get them into the RRDB - otherwise it is just speculation [no offense Fred]
Back to off thread: these came from the 2022 National Aviation Frequency Guide, so it is informed speculation at worst. No offense taken!
