Analog already is interoperable.
So, pretty much, here's the deal. The Uniden / Whistler / GRE / Radio Shack scanner basically SUCK on simulcast P25. My local system is mostly Phase II and I've tried a BCD436HP, TRX-2, and a PSR-800. All 3 totally crap out and you're lucky to hear a clear syllable much less a few words.
Then there's software, but nothing decodes Phase II, only Phase I. The DSD+ people won't even tell us whether or not they're gonna add Phase II. Unication pagers are only Phase I and have no scan delay.
Then there's commercial radios. They cost THOUSANDS of dollars apiece and most of 'em need a system key. When you try to talk about how to hack around the system key problem, everyone gets all paranoid and queezy and won't tell you anything.
So what's the deal? Something's gotta give here. Why's it so hard to find a P25 Phase II simulcast monitoring solution. How do we get our foot in the door to actually monitor Phase 2 with decent decode and audio quality? There's gotta be a way.
