    Miami County Law Enforcement

    From what I have seen, the majority of MiCo Law and FD have transitioned onto KSICS. MiCoSo Dispatch will sometimes bleed over to the JoCo KSICS site. Their TG's are visible here: Kansas Statewide Interoperable Communication System (KSICS) Trunking System, Statewide, Kansas MiCo P25 system...

    Johnson County encryption

    From what I have been told... 1. The JoCo sheriff is not enabling encryption on their primary talk groups (at this time). 2. JoCoECC has been silent on the encryption changeover - I've yet to have a statement either way on it. Rumors are that they'll remain clear for ECC Main and ECC Ops (as it...

    2023 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    Hi, on ScanJoCo.us I have tagged numerous radios with 1677#### as their identifier as a Roaming Unit (there are many of them). This generally designates that the user's radio is not on their configured home site (JoCo unit is not on the JoCo MARRS site, or KCMO on the JoCo site) and is...

    2023 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    Checking with my local TrunkRecorder instance, 35750 looks predominately E indeed. Around the end of March 2023, I saw a notable logged increase in encrypted transmissions. edit; To be precise, I see 2023-03-23 17:30:38 as the first date where encryption began getting used in bits and pieces...

    2023 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    In some instances, there may be a mismatch of keys occurring. If this does happen, a simple OTAR [Over The Air Rekey] from the radio techs will fix it right up. A few agencies on the MARRS net (prior to the AES changeover) seemed to not trust other agencies. KCKPD, KCPD (initially), IPD, and to...

    > CJC Fire is also fully encrypted. I am more curious about this than any other change on the system right now. 🤔

    2023 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    As of 3 AM this morning, some Clay and Platte county agencies on the MO side have flipped the switch to Encryption (AES256). I am unable to determine if the encryption is user-selectable or system-level encryption. Sad times.

    KHP Zone Talkgroups

    As you've observed, KHP across the state rarely utilizes their tertiary and beyond talk groups. For example, KHP Troop A in the KC area is predominately on MARRS KHP A1 (31501) and MARRS KHP A1 T/A (31502). MARRS KHP A1 T/A (31502) does not come over JoCo, WyCo, or any other KSICS site...

    I've got TG 34390 logged from December of 2021, but have yet to see 34391. The only RID I have logged on 34390 is a four-digit user, 1282. The next-nearest TG that I have is 34388 which has had JaxCoSo on it.

    Leavenworth Police Dept to be encrypted soon

    If there's a mandate for new users added to the system to be AES Encrypted, that's news to me. I assume they meant that they'll have the capability to encrypt talkgroups as on-demand, partially, or fully.

    2021 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    MARRS supports authed-radio roaming. Talk groups on MARRS are configured to certain sites - some TG's are configured for system-wide activation (e.g., Most RegCom's). Radios, if configured, are permitted to roam all about the MARRS net. For example [this is a rather high level], 30101 (ECC...

    2021 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    Nah, it's a configuration issue on KCMO's side of things. You should have heard the "can you hear me now" mess from a week or two ago on RegCom 3 and PS PSAP between KCPD, IPD and JaxCoSo. That was a treat to listen to...

    2021 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    Yes, there are a fair amount of talk groups on the MARRS system that are (and can be) strapped as insecure (clear). For example, all PD Primary TG's on the JoCo MARRS side - with the exclusion of Lenexa PD 1.

    2021 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    RegCom 3 - 14 will remain in the clear. Problem is, whoever reconfigured the KCPD radios, absolutely bungled the encryption configuration. As such, the radios are coming over traditionally clear talk groups as encrypted. Other users on the system will hear radio silence, or see the various...

    2021 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    FWIW: I'd rather not turn this into an Enc vs non-Enc debate - RR frowns upon that here. Anyhow to give you a slightly more detailed event line... TLDR first: People were listening to KCPD's radio traffic in regards to crowd control, command post, etc, and were actively pushing/evading...

    2021 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    Wish more agencies would swap to a talk group layout like what we have in JoCo in regards to police stuff. It's a fair balance IMHO. PD 1 / Primary Dispatch - Clear PD 2 / Secondary - Enc PD 3 / Talk Around / Info - Enc PD Admin - Enc Tac 1 - Enc Tac 2 - Enc Where PD 1 is dispatched calls and...

    2021 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    Huh? In JoCo anyways, so long as radio abuse doesn't proliferate, PD1 / Primaries will remain in the clear. All PD 2, PD 3, and Tac channels will persist with encryption. Misc-named talk groups, such as Admin, Announce, Info, Talk Around are agency selective in JoCo with whether or not they want...

    2021 - Kansas City Metro Area MARRS P25 Trunked Radio System

    Correct. An over-the-air radio update appears to have happened around 4 AM to 8 AM on August 11th. During that time, radio techs from (what I have logged anyways) BPU, JoCo, KC, and MARC were busy bees kicking on/testing Encryption, or at least ensuring encryption was still functioning...

    From Public Input - Regional Planning For general information, contact MARC by email to marcinfo@marc.org; by postal mail to MARC, 600 Broadway, Suite 200, Kansas City, MO 64105; or by phone at 816/474-4240. But that seems to be about it, outside of attending meetings?
