Registration; RID=1 REFUSED

[Echo4Thirty]

On my RX only radios, including unication, i look at the ranges of IDs used in the system and set mine for something way out of the range. So if your system uses 1-2 million, setting the ID to something like 12 million would be safer, but there is always the risk that ID might be used for an out of area type thing (such as some states do for regional ID allocation) or some knucklehead uses it to do dumb stuff.

With 16.7 million IDs to choose from, being smart and finding a low risk one should lead to finding one that is an extremely low risk of being ihibited.

I've heard of systems being set up to automatically inhibit radios well out of the range they're supposed to be assigned to. Not sure how practical that is for a few million possible radios. Is it possible for the system to issue a command that says, "If your progammed ID is above 10 million, you're inhibited now."? Can it do that? Or does it have to send those commands one ID number at a time?

I have heard it's possible to send a command like that

If there's a sysadmin watching (which I'm sure there is), please correct me.
But I believe (simply speaking) the admins type in the ranges authorized (1-12 million or something like that) and then anything 12,000,01 and higher will have an automatic "kill command" sent when the controller sees an id outside the authorized range

That doesn't happen. MSI P25 systems require a provisioning record to perform a selective or passive inhibit meaning the ID actually has to exist in the core to inhibit. We don't just create thousands of provisioning records to fill up the HLR/VLR. We only add records of known offenders.

Real men just use a console ID.
