MPA and ESK?

[gfrench]

Can my MPA be re-programed to work on this system?

They are using primarily Analog with very liitle provice.


It sounds like the Uniden PSR 500/600 will pick up all of the analog transmissions- and would seem that it should be able to work.


System Name: Denver Public Safety
Location: Denver, CO
County: Denver
System Type: EDACS Standard w/ESK
System Voice: ProVoice and Analog

thanks for the help and information on this.

No. Definitively not. ESK is not available for M-PAs.

In general, the radios that are capable of having that option are the radios that use feature encryption.


Even if you had the ESK option in your radio, it would not allow you to monitor an ESK-enabled system
without access to the terminal that enables ESK. Which is a dual factor encrypted system using both
passwords and encrypted key cards, which are based on smart card technology.

If you aren't on VERY friendly terms with a "system insider" who has the authority to have radios put on
the system, you will NOT be listening to an ESK system by any means other than ESK-enabled scanner,
and not by any Ericsson/GE/Macom radio.
