This was posted by Lou Maag in another thread (thanks Lou) and it poses a serious complication in the re-banding program.
Quote from the Motorola 800 MHz Rebanding Subscriber Guidelines document:
"4.7 Shuffled Band Plan
Radios that have been upgraded to be Rebanding capable are also capable of supporting the Shuffled Band Plan. The Shuffled band plan is intended to help prevent unauthorized system monitoring and access on Shuffled Band Plan enabled systems. Shuffled Band Plan shuffles all trunking numbered-channels allowed in the band plan.
Note that Shuffled Band Plan can only be enabled by the Rebanding Capable CPS program with an appropriate Advanced System Key per Trunking System. This feature is designed and implemented for Motorola 3600 Type II Trunking systems. "
As I recall, back in March, I found out that Motorola had releaed their new software to implement re-banding. A very short sentence in that information said something about the band plan could be changed by the user. That must be the Shuffled Band Plan. At the time, it didn't mean much to me, but since reading the above quote I think it could be a huge problem for us. How can Uniden and GRE provide a new band plan when it could be different for every system? Think about it and let's hope I'm wrong.
