"What is very sad is how NO ONE except myself and one other person bothered to contact Gwinnett county from the radio community and voice their concern. Just further proves how the radio scanner community is lazy and does not even care enough to send a friggin email. I mean, how much time does that take? Many of you whine and moan about encryption on this forum ad infinitum but when the rubber meets the road, not a single one of you can be bothered to do any work to keep your hobby viable."

Do you think that the Gwinnett County Government really cares what you think about their fire deptartment going encrypted? If you do then you're sadly mistaken. You can send all of the Emails that you want, but it isn't going to change a thing. So deal with it.

We're not lazy, we just know the truth of the matter, once any agency decides to encrypt their comms, you're not going to change their mind.

Right..... DC.... Your not lazy... ; -)

Well you sure put a lot of effort into those key strokes. Just to drop a worthless comment.

How dare you waste my time.....

DC.....

Life much suck pretty bad.....

Here.

Take this L..... LMAO

Well why are you still here.........

It is true that as of this past Friday, only 3 people have contacted the fire department in writing (be it by email or other written letter). Of those 3 people, only 1 of them lives in Gwinnett and ironically, that one person doesn't even have a scanner capable of monitoring the fire department even if they were in the clear. This has been confirmed by reviewing all of the communications that have come in. One of the remaining two is Mr. Pitbull above and one member of the media who seemed to already know it was going to happen.

I'm kind of on the fence about spending any more time discussing this issue and the other facts that were discovered because while it's interesting, it doesn't seem like in a county of nearly a million people, that a single person gives a hoot.

People...

People....



No one cares about your feelings!!!!!!

Listen........ If your not contributing towards the goal. That everyone else is working towards. Your presence is no longer need. OH but ( DC & Rapidcharger ) as long as your not personally effected who cares though right????

Seems that this ( Hopeless Victim Mentality ) Is contagious.

Fight for whats right, Some folks need to grow a pair.. The citizens there have paid for it. I'd bet you'd like to get what you paid for RIGHT????

OH i forgot though!!!!!!

Now a days most just shut up.... Bend over..... and RECEIVE the PROBE.

Later SuCkA's ------ Keep hope alive


Th-th-th-that's all folks! ------- Happy Scanning

What's particularly pathetic is how the "interoperability" they so desperately needed is...gone? Tragically funny is how fire trucks in places like Loganville, which sits in Gwinnett and Walton, must have 2 10 thousand dollar radios to talk on both systems.

Your tax dollars at work, kids. Oh yeah, I wonder what the county paid for those AES boards they didn't need...

From the public records I have received from Anonymouse, GCFD officials knew EXACTLY what they were doing and they were fully aware of the impact their choice to encrypt all fire communications would have on interoperability with Forsyth and Hall counties. Their solution was for those counties to use MotoBridge.

Both Walton and Gwinnett use welfare encryption (ADP) system wide. The problem comes into managing keys, KID's and CKR's. There is much more to LMR encryption than just "giving the other guy the key" like you would for say, your WiFi router.

But who cares. Obviously judging by the lack of hardly any input from the community and media (sans WSB-TV) it's not like anyone really gives a turd.

Oh yeah, I wonder what the county paid for those AES boards they didn't need...

I don't have a copy of the original Gwinnett RFP, but my understanding is UCM's with AES-256 were only ordered for supervisor radios, command staff, etc, everyone else has ADP which is all DSP based (it can also be UCM based but of course, the UCM adds a significant cost to the radio).

According to this document very few TG's use AES-256, mostly SWAT, CID and Comm staff.

One thing is clear from that document, Gwinnett county really wants NO ONE to listen in to ANYTHING. Not even the dog catcher or the sewer guy.

Will be interesting when there is a wreck on 985 close to Hall county line and GCFD is needing help.....
Will Forsyth ask GCPD/FD for assistance on Lanier? Oh man. Forgot to plug in the MotoBridge:roll:
Wonder what will happen when there's a river rescue and they can't talk to Fulton? Maybe Gwinnett will float a motobridge.

Why don't you direct those questions to Tommy Rutledge and be the 2nd Gwinnettian to reach out to him with your concerns.
