encryption

I haven't found this exact question answered, but I am monitoring a DMR one freq system run by a business. I'm curious, if they decided to, how easy would it be for them to encrypt their communications? Is it as easy as simply turning on a setting, or would they need to incur extra costs? I know...

Hey all, I'm really hoping this doesn't turn into a flame war or anything, I'm just trying to better understand the key differences in implementation. Question I'm aware that companies like Anytone, Hytera, Motorola, etc. offer encryption in their DMR radios, and I know that Anytone and Hytera...

For anyone using 128 bit encryption, I have a Python script that will generate a cryptographically strong key that involves 14 rounds of randomization, SHA-512, PBKDF2, HMAC, a 64 byte initial token, a 64 byte dynamic salt, and 1 million iterations. They come out strong, when I histogrammed over...

Heard from a reliable source that Suffolk county is going FULL encryption in 2029. im so upset

Hello, I have some issues with received encrypted voice with my Anytone AT-878UV Plus and Hytera Handhelds, which operate at Basic encryption type, 10 characters length. The result I get that via repeater mode, Hytera receives my encrypted voice well and on my Anytone the only thing I get is...

The county I am based out of is stated as "Fully Encrypted" on Radio reference. However, someone has a Broadcastify feed for said county and can pick up the county. How is this possible? Is there something wrong in the Radio reference database? He posted some frequencys for "Point to point...

Is it possible to detect encrypted talkgroups (BP / EP / AES) on Motorola Connect+ systems by scanning the Control Channel?

During the tragic active shooting at Michigan State University, police units requested tactical/encrypted channels but were then notified by the dispatcher that interoperability may be compromised since not all units on scene have access to the same encrypted channels. This was becoming a...

As you scroll through the OKWIN P25 Phase 1 database it is always interesting all those "in the clear" and then the ones "encrypted". Seems strange OKC PD seems all in the Clear when the majority of the Tulsa PD channels (minus dispatch) are encrypted. I fully support encrypted for some...

After throughly looking into the pictures that I’ve seen with agencies that are apart of ACDC. I believe it’s safe to say that the APX Next radios have came in along with the new mics that Officers and Deputies will be receiving as well. Now I don’t know if DU-COMM has gotten theirs yet but the...

Hi all, I have been burning for one of the KFDtools but since parts availability is zero, I haven't been able to get my hands on one until I found out about KFDshield. I purchased one, with the addition of the 3.5mm to hirose cable and an NTN8613C keyload adapter. I have tried it on an XTS5k...

Hello. I’m not asking to monitor these frequencies. This post is strictly for research purposes! I’m curious on what Frequencies the Cyprus Police Fire and EMS services are using. I’m researching what radio systems First Responders in EU countries use and I’m aware that the UK is using TETRA...

I'm currently looking to see if anyone knows which Amateur or "Ham" style radio brands/models (Hytera, Retevis, TYT, ect) are compatible with either the Basic or Advanced encryptions on the XPR 7550, or if there is a trick to maybe use decimal VS Hex in one or the other. I'm currently working...

Hello everyone, I’m currently sharing this petition to get better transparency for the Clarksville/Montgomery County, Tennessee area. Please help by signing it and sharing it with everyone else who lives in the area. Transparency is really lacking here and everyone deserves to have access to...

Anyone hearing MHP in the clear on their normal dispatch talkgroups again? Multiple "sources" have informed me they are dropping encryption due to a few reasons now. Drop your findings below! I have verified with some people in the community for sure that Troop F and Troop J are in the...

Hi there, apart of my attempt to gather evidence to show the benefits of open scanner traffic(dispatch only, obviously), I am looking for news articles or PD/FD Facebook/Twitter post that mention a situation where someone listening to their radio traffic ended up helping them. Such as hearing a...

I've search for this answer everywhere with little to no success. But can anybody name any agencies that either went fully encrypted then later decided/was forced to go unencrypted again? Or even agencies that have said they will never encrypt (dispatch) traffic? A few that I've heard of was New...

Is it possible to unmute p25 encryption on a 996P2 like what you have with the GRE scanners, where its not decoding the audio, but you can still hear the garbled sound? Id like to have that enabled so i can still tell if my local PD is busy, etc

It appears that Loyola University Maryland Public Safety Capacity+ DMR system has unfortunately become encrypted recently. Has anyone monitored this system as of late to know when it might have changed to an encrypted network? It was not encrypted as of late 2019/early 2020. According to DSD+...
