Everyone who thinks that anything is going to change with new or different radios is just fooling thrmselves, it's like the radar detector wars years ago the same people who create and sell the radar guns are selling the detectors for it , pretty much the same thing with spectrum and radios since time immortal, to really change something police radios and capabilities should never get into civilian hands , like the "beast" when one gets retired its destroyed by the Secret Service, you can own all the scanners you want and buy a palet load of CCRS but nothing should be able to transmit on the police frequency by legal,or illegal radio hacking ,until that happens nothing changes P25 radios even retired homeland encrypted stuff is sold at auctions everyday to anybody with money to spend , the government resells its used stuff to losers , just like in the fight against ISIS they are using equipment we left over there against "us" . If they don't have access to devices it will slow this B.S. down a lot, every County should have a unified radio system with all first responders on the same system , with a redundant mutusl aid frequency for officers traveling outside of there area , gee where have i read this before, hum may be somewhere in the 911 reccomendations and the concept of P25 interoperability that has become a talking point for radio manufacturers to promise and not deliver , most departments want to PTT and it to work beyond that they don't want to learn how to use the systems they have or are getting , my county signed a contract for a 26 million dollar headache that will not be interoperable in any way with neighboring counties or the state and have ignored or told us on the radio committee we don't understand there needs and our suggestions have fallen on deaf ears just as it has for the last forty years , until its installed and find out we were right , then they will in private admit to there mistakes , but publicly blame everyone else ,every few years they want to over spend on technology they can't use but sounds really good from the radio salesman . So the cycle will continue both in getting new radios they can't use and knuckleheads abusing spectrum until people have no transmitters capable of creating bedlam left , we started this race down with ball mounts and 102" whips the radios and antennas have gotten smaller but the opportunity to cause chaos just keeps going .
