Another way to tackle this solution is to encrypt partially. That is, keep all your talkgroups clear 98% of the time, and encrypt during a highly sensitive operation. That's sort of what Pasadena is doing now. It's a good idea, however there is still the problem of how to decide if something is &qu...

N6AJB, excellent post, written from a law enforcement perspective, but probably not what anyone on here wants to hear. Thank you. Well, also coming from the hobbyist perspective. I have been into scanning since the 1980's and up until recently monitored law enforcement exclusively. From the perspec...

Also, there are always the good old MDTs. I agree, this is a valid solution to the identity theft aspect of the situation. Unfortunately MDT's aren't feasible when dealing with "in progress" calls issue due to the fact there may be personnel very close to the scene out of vehicles either ...

I agree with the previous commentator.

Not so weird. The dozers are trucked to the fire on flatbed trailers. One dozer operator can cut a hellofa lot more fire break a hellofa lot faster than a 20 man hand crew. So the hand crew is the crew that battles with the equipment (like at a structure fire)? Mostly fire rakes, shovels and chains...

On RPD-7 what you are hearing is P25 digital. On the RCC frequency you're hearing SCADA data, it's coming from a water company out of Running Springs that is 12.5 khz away from the RCC channel. There were no real upgrades to the LMR system during the dispatch center move, other than replacing the co...

It's because Riv PD is dispatching on CH5 during the dispatch center move.
