NYPD encryption technical thread

[GTR8000]

Unitrunker has been and always will be my go-to for P25 trunking logging. Nothing finer for that purpose. I think in this instance, SDRTrunk will be fine for capturing the parameters I mentioned earlier. Not the easiest software to setup, but more than capable. Be sure to use the latest release Version 0.6.0 Alpha 7 on GitHub, even better if you build the latest source code as there have been some recent fixes to the software.

PS - All three Brooklyn channels using the same AES-256 key.

I wonder if that is a work around to how many keys the APX900, er Vertex P949, can handle.

Shouldn't be much of an issue. There was a clarification that they're deploying APX Next to almost everybody now as the plan.

I would probably think each Patrol Boro will have and share its own encryption key for each Zone in that Patrol Boro, but that’s just my take on it.

RID 342 Console ID for Patrol Borough Brooklyn North 4 (81/83).
RID 343 Console ID for Patrol Borough Brooklyn North 5 (84/88).
RID 344 Console ID for Patrol Borough Brooklyn North 6 (90/94).

No changes to any NAC's, not that any would be expected.

Couple weeks ago I had a different sets of Console IDs,

RID 456 for PB BKN-4
RID 455 for PB BKN-5
RID 454 for PB BKN-6

Not saying your information is wrong, but the Console IDs may not be fixed.

Not saying your information is wrong, but the Console IDs may not be fixed.

It's correct currently. That's the best way to phrase it.

484.4125 NAC 749 has been in the clear for a while now. Just a heads up... maybe something to be excited about??

What are you hearing as far as traffic? Not copying anything here in Queens...

This thread is for reporting changes as the NYPD conversion progresses. It is not about Chicago or discussion about encryption.

Picking up 476.7625 NAC E10 which used to the be 84-88 PCT frequency. Console Radio ID is 455.

 

[LeSueurC]

Are they using AES?

 

[CqDx]

Of course.

Verifying this. I am picking it up as well.

 

[pro106import]

And 484.0625 is still active with the same RID's, so they must be simulcasting and getting ready to do the switch? Boy that was fast. The 476.7635 is about 2 bars stronger at my location.
