Camden Co., NJ - County system to go live

[jcardani]

Possible yes, probable not really. Camden County uses AES 256 bit encryption. It would take many lifetimes for someone to figure out the encryption key with even the fastest computers.

Sure, if you tried to figure it out yourself. I would imagine some radio techs (albeit on a small scale) would start leaking the keys, like the few trunked system keys that have been leaked over the years. And you never know, someone could develop the right software needed to decode it instantaneously, like DSD does with DMR color code and slot info on DMR frequencies. My opinion is there will eventually be something out there floating around. A boy can dream, can't he? lol

Thanks Joe. Interesting videos for sure. I will drop back and let this thread get back on topic now.

With the trunk system now in full use, would it be safe to assume that all of the VHF and UHF frequencies formerly used by Camden County are now depreciated and out of use or has that equipment been maintained for the time being as a back up in case of catastrophic TRS failure?

I'm currently getting a weak decode of the system with Pro96Com running,picked up these 4 TGs:

391
432
433
434

Does the County Police patrol any other town besides Camden?
and which Towns are not going over to the county system? at least they may still be in the clear on their own channels?

As of right now the only police in the clear in Camden County are Cherry Hill (EDACS 800), Gloucester Township (P25/Analog 500 MHz conventional), Rutgers (or Rowan) Camden (155 MHz conventional), and PATCO Police (500 MHz conventional). I'm not sure if NJT River Line Patrols still use AAR 72 or if they have switched over to something else. NJSP is still in the clear as well.

Just a heads up. Gloucester Twp goes encrypted sometime in or after August.

On the county TRS or on their frequency?

So is this basically saying that Winslow is getting their own site?

Is the Patco Police Channel Down? Haven't heard anything on it in a while left it on all night and nothing

REatco PD

I have not heard PATCO Police in a few days either. PATCO's rail ops, however, are now being simulcast on the DRPA EDACS trunk system.

 

[Monoxide16]

true i hear ya wonder what happen and wow I'll have to take a listen to that thanks for the info. Hey cru1242 quick question been trying to get info but not getting any info on this do u know what happen to the Bridge Maintenance talkgroups Don't hear anything on those channels anymore or do they have new talkgroups

 

[cru1242]

I am not home during the day, which is when the maintenance TG's would most likely be active. I suspect they just use cellphones most of the time. I have heard them, but not often or recently.

 

[Monoxide16]

i hear ya and and true i hear ya alrighty thank u for your help i remember when i had that system in my pro96 different talkgroups would pop up and it would be new channels for maintenance it don't do that for the pro 106. They were funny to listen to lol.Thanks again for the info

 

[Monoxide16]

Anyone know what happen to Patco Police? Still nothing on that channel

 

[mding4gold]

I guess Camden City Police or Metro PD made the jump? Haven't heard anything on the trunked systems in a while...

 

[Monoxide16]

yup they made the switch to cant hear them anymore
