Okay I was on a website called OPENMHZ.Com. and one of the Feeds said listen be for NYPD goes Mix Mode. Any one know what going on thanks
Unfortunately, the big E is not a solution to stop malicious interference. RF is RF, doesn't matter what is done to the audio stream. But I get where you are coming from.The NYPD will be going more than that.
The "Big E" will be in place within a year (if they didn't have so many radios, it could be done a lot sooner), and, frankly, it's about time.
Anyone who listened to NYC during the riots and looting taking place over the summer (and then some) knows that malicious interference was a lot more than just an annoyance, but a genuine hazard. The technology is there to prevent that in the future and there's no reason why they shouldn't incorporate it in their operations.
It's just a fact of life, at this point.
Those who think that "hobbyists" have some Constitutional right to monitor police frequencies unempeded are living in a dream world and better grow up and face the facts.
Please tell us when the RFP for the proposed system was issued and which vendor has been selected to build it? We are all waiting anxiously for your reply...The NYPD will be going more than that.

Is FDNY planning on going to P25 also?
Voice inversion is garbage, and that's not what is going on with NYPD. They will be migrating their current analog conventional channels to P25 with AES. The infrastructure is largely already in place, and at this point so are most of the subscriber radios.You guys DO realize that there are "encryption" options available with analog voice, right? Voice inversion is one...
conventional analog or conventional digital? Did you look to see what emission designators were on the channels?I just did ULS search in the FCC database and the only pending application for NYPD specifies a conventional system.
Great, except that if you go back and read bberns22's posts, he is clearly distinguishing between a "P25 system" (i.e. trunking) vs "conventional system".A "system" can be defined many ways. I would call a vast network of conventional frequencies a system

In addition (and I think that I had mentioned this once before), the FDNY was badly bitten in the backside when they attempted to switch their handie-talkie operations from analog to non-encrypted digital. To my best recollection, I believe this occurred late 80's or early 90's. The results were (nearly) disasterous. Units were missing transmissions from other units just 100's of feet away, yet picking up radio traffic from units operating at different incidents half-a-mile away.
For the FDNY, this turned into a major fiasco.
