Updates on new LAPD P25 system?

[Originaldash10]

Is there any updates on the new LAPD P25 system? Is it still being programmed? I noticed there aren’t any TGIDs on the database.

I think the short answer is we will need to wait and see. I could understand a decision to use a fully encrypted system on the 700MHz trunker with the exception of (maybe?) some mutual aid talkgroups. LAPD has an elaborate UHF system that just simply works for their needs. The 700MHz frequency reservations and system build out was a result of the possible loss of UHF T-Band (470-512) which LAPD, LASD, and other public safety agencies utilize in the LA basin. Fortunately that was killed off with legislation finally to remove that action.

The LAPD is fully equipped with multi-band portables and mobiles to use either resource. Past comments from reliable sources have stated that the 700MHz system may be used for special ops and events. Time will tell...

Monitor142 has the correct answer... and as I've stated in previous posts.. "Stand By to Stand By"....

Thank you. That cleared up the questions I had. But true, only time can tell what will happen with it.
