New SDS 100. I still cant get El Cajon Police

Post by joeblow »

After last November of last year when my PRO96 ended up being a paperweight because all the systems went to APCO PHASE 2, i finally bought a SDS 100
Its a complicate scanner and has a new hierarchy compared to scanning banks like the PRO96

So anyway, I made a favorites list and put in The South Cell control channels and the TGIDs for El Cajon Police. So I hear CHP El Cajon dispatch, La Mesa, Santee Fire, freeway service patrol, everything but no ECPD

So I go back into the scanner and take out the TGIDs. Still nothing. I go back into the scanner and make a second fave list with a different P25 -- TDMA

still no ECPD --But I have everything else

Can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong? Is ECPD on a different cell or encrypted or what?

Thanks

It was on January 1, 2021.

Also Escondido and Chula Vista have gone to full encryption.

Escondido Police: Fully encrypted as of July 20, 2020
Chula Vista Police: Fully encrypted as of December 17, 2020

Chula Vista PD press release:

Couple threads on RadioReference about it:

National City, Coronado and La Mesa are rumored to go encrypted soon.
