Re: RSO gone digital :-(

I can't speak for the reasoning behind PSEC deciding to encrypt all LE traffic, but overall I think the "live feeds" have contributed significantly to this trend. Before, someone had to have a scanner with them and be technically savoy enough to operate it. Now, any old common crook can do...

Re: RSO gone digital :-(

There is a RED talkgroup, but it's encrypted as well. I heard there are plans to rent radios with the primary channels to bona fide media personnel for media reporting purposes.

Re: RCPD Channel 3 encrypted?

I think the goal is PSEC CAPABLE radios as mutual aid users, or at the bare minumum 800 mhz conventional capability for interop. It is still unknown if Riverside will subscribe to PSEC or upgrade the existing (aging) system.

Re: RCPD Channel 3 encrypted?

Interesting. I know a lot of the newest radios they have been purchasing are the Harris Unity multi band units (which don't support ADP, but do support AES-256 and DES-OFB) so it would be surprising to me if they were using the Motorola proprietary ADP.

Re: RCPD Channel 3 encrypted?

Refarming the spectrum to more tightly spaced channels for better spectral efficency is what drove manufacturers to go away form analog to digital. At under 10-11 Khz or so, analog performance is marginal at best and getting good analog performance (audio levels and good adjacent channel protection ...

Re: RCPD Channel 3 encrypted?

I know that Channel 7 is digital and encrypted. Correct, some transmissions are encrypted using ADP software encryption. When RPD transitions to P25 they will be using DES-OFB. The current rumor is this will occur EOQ1. I've also heard rumors they are switching to PSEC. So, we're just going to have...

Re: RCPD Channel 3 encrypted?

I know that Channel 7 is digital and encrypted. Correct, some transmissions are encrypted using ADP software encryption. When RPD transitions fully to P25 they will be using DES-OFB (not confirmed - rumor only) on all channels. One of the current rumors is this will occur EOQ1. I've also heard anot...

Re: 460.4625 Riverside Police

If your scanner features PL decode, you can "hide' the problem by decoding PL on 460.475, however if .4625 is REAL strong where you are at, it may capture over .475 and just mute audio. It will depend on how well you see each site.

Re: 460.4625 Riverside Police

That is the Canyon Springs translator (CH 6) to provide fill-in coverage to the Day St. / 60 FWY areas of the City as well as coverage out to Riverside County Regional Medical Center for prisoner transports to and from that facility. "Big Ed" your scanner probably lacks the selectivity and...
