psr500 and or pro 106 wont track this?

Funny that WSDOT has what seems to be a highly secure net while WSP broadcasts in the clear...not that I'm complaining :lol:

Emergency Management Radio Systems State Agency Emergency Net
(STAEN) - 800 MHz
The State Agency Emergency Net is a radio net employing an ultra high
frequency (UHF) 800 MHz repeater that has been incorporated into the
Washington State Department of Transportation's (WSDOT) 800 MHz trunked
radio system on Capitol Peak. The net was primarily designed to provide a
capability for state agencies within the Capitol Campus, Tumwater, Lacey, and
surrounding areas to communicate with the State Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) during emergency situations or disasters which severely impact or restrict
the use of "normal" telephone services. It can also be used to communicate
among agencies during an emergency situation, as needed.
State agencies have been encouraged to procure equipment and participate in
the net. Currently, eight agencies have done so. They are:
1. Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS).
2. Department of Agriculture .
3. Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development (CTED) -
Energy Division.
4. Department of Health (DOH).
5. Department of Information Services (DIS).
6. Department of Labor and Industries (L&I).
7. Department of Retirement Systems (DRS).
8. Office of the Governor.
9. Office of the State Auditor.
10. Utilities and Transportation Commission.
11. Employment Security Department.
A talk group, primarily consisting of the state agencies, has been defined for the
net. The State Emergency Operations Officer (SEOO) monitors the net on a 24-
hour basis. Communications checks of the net are scheduled on the first and
third Mondays of each month to ensure operational readiness.

Not really highly secure, just a weird system. AFAIK, no scanners will track it because there are so few Multinet LTR systems in the first place- not enough interest.

Not enough interest? Who wouldnt want to listen to the Auditor's office or employment security dept?

What he meant is that there are very few systems around the country that use this protocol. Any money spent on R&D would not significantly help sell scanners. Or in other words, it would fall on deaf ears.
