I've debated for 4 days on whether or not to make this post, but I feel like I should for the good of not only the members of our NC forum, but RR as a whole.
Our site & entire forums are dedicated to the monitoring of anything that you can hear come across the air without having to break any types of encryption or other security protocols, and this brings around the point of this post...........
Many of us, especially in the NC forum, either work now or have previously worked in the installation, management, and maintenance of various radio systems across the state. Those of us that have, and those that still do, WILL NOT give out proprietary system information, fleetmaps, or any other system information entrusted to us. Everyone I know that works with public safety radio systems are usually bound by an NDA, non disclosure agreement, whether we still work in the field or not. People are still bound by those even after employment is over. If you break an NDA that's your a$$. Not only have I helped maintain these systems over the last 14 years but I also relied on them the 17 years I was a firefighter. I know firsthand the importance of system safety and security, as do those that still maintain these systems.
Again, I WILL NOT give out any information I have been entrusted with in the past, nor the information I'm entrusted with today. If I receive another phone call asking for trusted, secure information, I will not help and I'll be glad to give you the phone number of the system(s) manager and you can call them.
If this post is thought to be in poor taste then please let me know and accept my apologies. I just thought it needed to be said. I'll close by saying if you want to monitor public safety then buy a scanner. If you have to ask how to passively monitor a system with a radio then you have no business with a radio, or RSS/CPS in your hands. It will get someone hurt or killed.
On that note, have a great evening!!!
