[Scan-DC] DC FEMS UNENCRYPTS 7 a.m. Sunday!

[Brian Rokus]

So I guess the follow-up question is does anybody know what the odds are of having older radios affiliated to force the FDMA fallback?
And after Alan's very-helpful info, it seems at least to me that they aren't really fully unencrypting. For example, B-3 (where a lot of the rescue incidents seem to go) will not be open, correct? I suppose it's always possible that they will change the procedure for assigning incidents to channels.
