Just heard some LASD testing this morning on Rio and Johnstone. All in the clear from what I heard.

That must have been what I heard on Oat this morning. Caught the last couple of seconds of the last transmission 8*(

By any chance did you note the TGID or RID?

Sorry I did not catch that info

No worries... I actually did discover a couple of hits on a backup receiver I had running, and it looks like they were on TG 1. Thanks for the post - I probably wouldn't have gone looking if you hadn't confirmed what I thought I heard 8*)

I see in LA-RICS board meeting agenda that LASD will be issued 262 portables as part of early deployment testing and usage by specialty units.

Document states the early deployment system would serve as proof of concept including giving LASD encryption capability.

Some of the units to be issued the radios include: LA IMPACT, Aero Bureau, Arson/Explosives, Crisis negotiation teams, multiple detective divisions and also the Avalon patrol station.

I suppose in the coming months we will be hearing various new talkgroups appear on the system.

Does it seem like it's going to be officers choice for "E" or permanent?

I'd suspect it could be like ICIS where some talkgroups are simply set up as E from the git go.

Receive both dispatcher and units with none of the LASD standard beeping.

Does anybody know if more towers are going to be out up near the Orange County LA County borders?

It is an P25 Phase 2 capable system. It can use P25 Phase 2 TDMA as well as P25 Phase 1 FDMA TG's.

Yes TG 4 is LASD Transit Service Bureau dispatch with both sides of comms without the historic beeps.

Wonder if this is a semi-permanent set up for the early deployment testing by LASD, or something the radio techs have set up as a one-off configuration for a few days?

PSEC used the lower-numbered TG's for testing only. IIRC, the new San Berdoo sysrem is shaping up the same way.
Also, I believe that the P25 standard calls for phase 1 backwards compatibilty on a phase 2 system.

For what it's worth, none of this is popping up on Oat... meaning the folks who are monitoring these TG's aren't wandering around much. I suspect this is all testing...

....I take that back...

It looks like these TG's are all tdma (and I had an old radio parked on Oat). TDMA sounds good coming through Verdugo, Oat sounds like crud.
