Hello all,
I'm trying to familiarize myself a bit with encryption as one of the agencies in my jurisdiction is anticipating a move to encrypting their radios in the near future. Currently, I'm using Motorola Astro 25 Portable CPS to program a two Dallas Avionics TDFM-7000-series radios. The bands in the radio are a mix of VHF, UHF, and 800, and the frequencies are a mix of analog and digital (mostly the former).
None of the agencies that we communicate with are currently encrypted, and as such, the programming has been pretty straight-forward thus far. I anticipate having a sit-down with the radio shop that does the agency in questions contracts with for all their commo needs.
Is there anywhere I can go for a quick primer - or can anyone provide one - on encryption, especially with regard to the software/hardware that I'm using?
I don't even know what an encryption key looks like.
Thanks in advance, radio gurus!
