Brevard County P25 (00A.92077)

[TDR-94]

it is my understanding that this is the EXACT method that was used - departments were queried, and responded 'yes'.

that said, 99% of the traffic on the P25 system today is encrypted.

Did you know this beforehand or recently learn of this? I ask because you previously have mentioned that you had not seen anything to indicate that 99-100% of system traffic would be encrypted.

From my understanding after talking with sources from various agencies on the system, it was an overwhelming decision to go ENC.

Well, I doubt there would ever be an "underwhelming" decision to go ENC.

Brevard has lit up their P25 system that will eventually replace their 30 year old analog EDACS system.

Currently only the (edit: south - palm bay) site is active on 852.6125

Funny, they are using the same WACN as Ozaukee County, EDIT: Wisconsin (at least for now) --- this system will be very much in play over the coming weeks.

Unfortunately for us listeners, I've heard they hope to be county wide encrypted on 10/1/25

Sounds about right.

Anyone else noticing how odd (besides the fact that it's encrypted to begin with) that many encrypted FD units seem to be in the clear during the day and in the evening encrypted again? Not that it really matters any longer. Since that will end shortly.Just curious if anyone else has noticed this, or if it's just me.

Oh, and remind me again why there was excitment about the switch to P25 Phase 2?

I wonder if they'll eventually shut down their Pulse Point access as well. Looks like it'll be the only way to know what BCFR is up to now.
