simple way is to call a few signal hunting HAM guys and boom, this guy would have been caught and silenced quickly... but the police would be like, call WHO??? LOL

Not that simple and a fox hunt could potentially make the situation worse.simple way is to call a few signal hunting HAM guys and boom, this guy would have been caught and silenced quickly... but the police would be like, call WHO??? LOL
You are correct. The problem would be solved immediately. But the damage has been done. This is not the first time this has happened in the past on other systems. This crack head found a gap in the system and transmitted. This has happened on USCG Channel 16 before on coastal regions and The USCG has measures in place to pin point your immediately and they will murder you if you do this kind of BS.
Now the city or county has to re-evaluate their comm system. Maybe its just a blip on the radar and problem goes away. If not, and it continues then it will not be good news for the hobby down the road for people in your area. Keep in mind that systems in our area have been closed up and the gaps have been filled almost two decades ago.
Guessing you have not spent a lot of time in Chicago. And throwing crackhead out proves you are quite behind the times.
Again my original post stands.Whatever the problem is it will be solved at a Radio Comm Level.
As far as the non-standard DPL not being a permanent fix goes, I have used this solution for many customers when I was in the business. One of which was a campus police department-that was in 1995 and they haven't had an issue with rogue operators since.

There are CCRs that can do any DPL, standard or not, like the Anytone 3318UV.

Yes, it's not completely undefeatable, but the effort involved goes beyond what most people are willing to expend for the cheap thrill.

No need for encryption Chicago...just join the rest of us in the 21st century and go P25, problem solved.
There's a slight chance this transmission was done by someone working for a major radio company, for the purpose of showing the department why they need to go to a trunking system at the very least. "See how easily people can interfere? Buy these 5000 dollar radios from us and there'll be no more of that!"
P-25 has been proven sound in urban environments, like any system, depends on how it is engineered, implemented and maintained.I don't trust Digital for urban environments like NYC and never will, we have a tough time as it is with analog.
It wouldn't happen to begin with, With authentication NO ONE can just clone an ID and access the system. Add AES-256 and you're as locked down as you can be from external sources of unauthorized access and system utilization. The ATIA captures everything a radio does when it hits the network, so if someone internal goes rogue, you've got forensic evidence to nail them to the cross.Can't imagine what a mess it would be for digital.
Let's see, we can dynamically regroup radios or groups of radios in an instant from a console in case of say, a major incident or terrorist attack (NYC would benefit from that I am sure). We can encrypt to AES-256 for COMSEC. We can ping a radio and verify it's on and what TG it's sitting on. (If we had location service enabled, we'd see where it is). We can private call between two radios (like iDEN) both in the clear and secure. We have emergency alert with revert and voice. We have wide area roaming with other metro area systems on talkgroups with a console presence that require ZERO operator intervention to use. We have the ability to produce DETAILED radio subscriber activity reports down to when a radio was turned on and off, what talk groups it was affiliated to, what sites/zones it registers with, detailed logs of each transmission made by that subscriber and who they interacted with talkgroup/private call wise, and match up with audio captured from our logging system from a single piece of software? Advanced noise reduction on fire radios makes them clear and crisp despite SCBA and engines blaring in the background. No static, clicks, pops, distortion, or listening to comparators working...shall I go on?Yes digital offers more features then analog but are they really used?
This thread is about the rogue radio incident and it's aftermath.
Please keep it on topic and civil.
