DCFD ELO - Channels A13/A14

DC Fire has a mix of clear and encrypted channels on the DC P25 system. The 0 zone is in the clear, and the A/B/C zones are encrypted. Often, medics will call the ELO (EMS Liaison Officer) on channel 013, and are told to switch to A13. This indicates A13 is for the ELO, although the talkgroup number is unknown. (The mix-up also occurs on 014, and medics are told to switch to A14, which is another encrypted ELO talkgroup.)
