No surprise there, when EDACS went under the bus, I figured provoice would soon follow.
What I have been reading, the new kid on the block is OFDM(not new by a long shot) and the newer LTR.
Like the past 50 years, Motorola has been lead dog so Ericsson/Tyson have to get up to speed, or doomed.

Does anyone want to tell him?... Ericsson/Tyson(sic) ...doomed
Well, his signature does include a disclaimer... lolDoes anyone want to tell him?
OH jeez, my spell checker doesn't know Tyco, it puts in what ever it feels like..Mike Tyson?
I guess fancy terms like TDMA sound betterLTR??? Seriously? What have you been reading?
TDMA and LTR are NOT the same thingI guess fancy terms like TDMA sound better

How much could Whistler Tech Support possibly know about a voice codec their scanners can't decode? Though as stated above me the protocol has been EOL'ed years ago, I'd take any news from Whistler with regards to Provoice with a grain of salt. With only 40 identified TRS's in the database it was never the most popular codec anyway
How?I have P25 LTR in my M-PA Scan.
Time for some fresh batteries in your sarcasm detector.How?
Went right over my head...Time for some fresh batteries in your sarcasm detector.
You are aware that the digital modulation used on EDACS systems is ProVoice, including SLERS, yes? And that ProVoice talkgroups can be either clear or encrypted? The SLERS system, right in your own backyard, uses ProVoice digital modulation, which is also encrypted for most talkgroups. It's not ProVoice or encryption, it's ProVoice with encryption. Your post makes it sound as if they dumped ProVoice and went with "Encryption" instead, almost as if "Encryption" is some form of alternative standalone modulation. Perhaps you just worded your post oddly, as surely you know all of this already.Even those agencies that still use EDACS (and I'm in the coverage area of one or more....) don't even use ProVoice anymore in those systems. For the minimal effort involved (and actually, simpler radio programming and higher reliability) they encrypt talkgroups they want to protect instead, in almost every case.
I've seen examples of ProVoice radios that worked properly in ProVoice one day and the very next day certain radios no longer received ProVoice transmissions while others did. That doesn't seem to happen when using encryption instead.
