I knew abou the P25 stuff but I heard from some one sort of involved in the communications part that the entire system would be encrypted. I also heard though that the JPSO special opps, Laser, SWAT,etc. would be encrypted but the district dispatch systems,NCIC and such would not be. I really want to purchase just dont want to waste the money. We will be using the new parts of the 700 band by Jan 1 but i dont know how long it will be when they fully convert over.
