New USSS radios?

LED lighting gets hot in operation. With it placed in sunlight, even when partially obscured by low transmissible tint, it gets even hotter. VHB tape won't hold up and it is either direct physical mounted or magnetic mounted in a few cases where there is steel to connect to.
A lot of upfitters that I know will mount the LED lighting behind installed behind window tint with 3 M tape when it will not be used much in covert vehicles and or an administrative type vehicle that is issued to people in the government who need that type of equipment. Others will back the 3M tape up with mounts also. Why the double mounting who knows.

I've had both tape and screws/bolts for cars. I *think* the reasoning behind the tape with the screws is for temp placement prior to drilling. Of course, I also had a CVPI once that had the rear deck lights held in with freaking VELCRO (thank God for the cage on hard stops).

They have hundreds of stand alone VHF mobiles with magmounts loaned to local PD, escort teams, etc.
I've heard SS on local talkgroups here in Mississippi when Trump or whoever is here. Most of the time they communicate on Special Events talkgroups. Keep in mind they can talk on anything they want, much like USM.

The worst to track here is DEA...On MSWIN, Harrison County EDACS, VHF, UHF and probably FRS 😅
I don't know if this can be answered or not. Are they on an encryption algorithm higher than AES256? Just curious.
They use AES.
Not exactly. While they may have the technical capabilities to program their radios to many systems, they must go through the regular MOU agreements like any other public safety entity.
For protective details, they will still use their USSS VHF as the primary system.
They get the talkgroups and all that sexy stuff done ahead of time. If u listen to MSWIN the 1st Wednesday of each month @0900 for the monthly radio roll call, u might be surprised as to who has what.
Not doubting that whatsoever. But trust me, they do not "talk on anything they want". They must ask for permission and follow protocols like any third party system user. In some systems, not saying this one necessarily, they actually pay subscriber fees.
I'm not arguing that, it's all done ahead of time. MSWIN has hundreds of special events talkgroups
I don’t know why you are even bothering posting common sense stuff. The stuff being posted in this thread is so wildly inaccurate it’s comical.
Sadly so
Not sure what you are talking about but it's all good
What's inaccurate?
Your post states that they can talk on anything they want, much like the USMS. Having worked for the federal government in radio comms for over 33 years, I can most certainly assure you that they cannot. I personally coordinated dozens of agreements with local and state partner systems and none of them let us "talk on anything we wanted". Some agencies even required county commission authorization prior to us getting access. That was my point.

Ok understand. Depends on how we look at it I suppose.
