Public has almost no access to new police radios

Is it just me, or does it seem like the author really doesn't quite
understand what they are writing about?

Well it is not totally clear from the article- are they encrypting all but a
few talkgroups? If that is the case it certainly is one of the more
restrictive public safety radio systems around.





I read it a couple of times and I can't tell if they think digital is
encrypted, or it really is encrypted. www.radioreference.com would have
the info, if I could figure out what county Abilene is in.

In Texas, west Texas that is. Why does a west Texas PD need for such a
system. Since 9-11 Millions has been spent for towns to upgrade to Hi tech
crap.
Everyone has gone Terrorist crazy.

I know where Abilene is, but I can't seem to find the county, and
without the county, radioreference is pretty useless.

According to my mapping software it's Taylor County.

Looks like an EDACS Pro-voice system which needless to say there isn't a
scanner on the market to monitor that type of system. They have that here
in Johnston County, NC.

RR is great for info but often is WAYYYY behind on changes. The system here
changed a couple years ago and RR still does not have the info right. A
couple people I know of tried to get them to update it, but it still shows
the wrong info. So they may or may not have the right info.

That's why I tell newbies to find a local scanner group. They know all
the stuff, a long time before it makes it to the public.
