Is there any good place (other than RR) that CLEARLY lists who are the subscribers to each of SBC's 10 systems? Thanks! In order to be of any assistance I would need a more detailed list of questions or description of what you are looking for. The RR database does show to a large extent who uses wh...

The big advantage of RR is that all TGIDs are nicely grouped. It still does not provide a ton of detail. Hopefully, it'll expand over the years. As a database administrator for RadioReference.com and a San Bernardino County resident who has monitored various agencies within the county for over 7 ye...

It's more like 5 to 7 types of interoperability, depending on how you interpret the various documents and whitepapers out on the subject. I agree; there are many more technical ways to provide interoperability. I was thinking more about the operational/procedural side of the issue. For example, all...

In my mind there have always been three types of law enforcement radio interoperability. Each has unique and specific applicability (and potential drawbacks), making training and practice extremely important. I think all three are necessary. 1) Channels set aside for interoperability on an as-needed...

According to the information I have seen, that area is covered by CHP's San Gorgonio Pass Office, which is dispatched by the Indio Dispatch Center on the "Red" channel: 42.440 MHz base, 42.280 MHz mobile. I completely agree that CHP's office borders are not clear at all. The office boundar...

This forum is focused on Riverside County, but perhaps some of you will be interested in the recent developments in San Bernardino County's upgrade to P25. Yesterday the board of supervisors approved a contract with Motorola Solutions to design and install a new countywide P25 system to serve as a r...

N6AJB and zz0468 have done a very good job explaining some of the compelling reasons why a law enforcement agency would choose encryption. Are these reasons so compelling that a sensible agency would ALWAYS choose to fully encrypt? No, apparently not considering all the agencies who have chosen to i...

All that said, law enforcement is perceiving a threat to officer and public safety caused by organized street gangs, drug cartels, and potential terrorists, and encryption is just one of the tools they see being effective to fight those threats. I think you raise an important point that the decisio...

It's not going to change any minds as to whether or not to encrypt. Definitely agree there. Also, it seems that usually by the time people find out a channel or system will be encrypted, the decision to encrypt was made months or years in the past. We know the decision to encrypt often comes from w...

Sir/Madam...your post was quite illuminating. Why, thank you. And definitely "sir" rather than "madam." :mrgreen: But in all seriousness, these are just personal observations of someone looking in from the outside. I'm sure someone directly involved in the process has a more inf...
