Trouble with UHF analog is any moron with a Baofeng can program the freqs + PLs in and cause havoc on the radio system. Delco PA had similar issues with their radio system in the past. Wonder if they'll encrypt the radios on the new system...

Encryption is a given, law enforcement here in Cambria have been asking for it for sometime, mainly due to online streaming. This incident is just another log on the fire
Encryption does not protect communications from interference.
I really hope they don't go after RR on this said:FCC records are public. Anyone with internet access can obtain the information.

True. Even an encrypted digital transmission can be blocked by an analog transmission on the same frequency. However, encryption would prevent unscupulous peoples from impersonating legit users.

Everything added in SWPA over the past couple years for police has been encrypted.
I would not be surprised if this was staged by a salesman who wanted to make sure they went for the encryption cost (I mean option).
One of the first groups in ICORRS had an issue with interference. Switching to the P25 system didn't solve it. It turns out it was one of the officers who was causing it. Of course, being a P25 system they knew exactly who it was and they put an end to it. I wonder how many thought it was a ham with a radio that was opened up.
As for Baofeng, don't read into this. For all we know the person calling in was using a Motorola. They didn't say.

You can't disclose something that doesn't exist.FCC records are public but they do not disclose PL tones and/or DCS tones
FCC records are public but they do not disclose PL tones and/or DCS tones like Radio Reference does. This makes things a lot easier for idiots like this guy to do what he did.
