Interesting. I’m surprised they had that many that couldn’t be encrypted. Hopefully they only plan to move inquiry to encrypted, as they already do a pretty good job of controlling PII over the air.

Interesting reading, especially the MSI quote. The base APX6500 7/800 MHz radio is a reasonable-sounding $1700 ($2700 retail), but ends up near $4800 ($7800 retail) once you add the necessary options. "So, you want a steering wheel with your car? How about an engine? Will you be needing seats?"
Bummer my old department is heading to the Big "E". I'll miss hearing some old friends who voices I still recognize.
National City PD Dispatch 2 seems to be encrypted. Working the "active shooter" incident they kept going to Dispatch 2 and every time all the units were encrypted, so thinking this is their form of PII protection at least for right now. Also of note, just about every night all night NCPD is Phase 2 only.

Argh…. So sad. I am out of range this morning. Can anyone confirm it has happened?

Quick look in the West Cell talkgroups log that went 99% or 100% encrypted today

Looks like they are using the tac2 for now while they make the switch over.
I have just been informed that over the 12-week radio updating process, non-encrypted radios will operate on tac2's while encrypted radios operate on primary, with patch in place until completion of the process.

So sad and sickening...
San Diego County Sheriffs Department Comm Center confirms they are planning to go FULL ENCRYPTION at 6AM this morning, January 11.
RIP Sheriffs

This is heartbreaking.
So frustrating. Any word on if this will impact the county wide interop channels?
I sure hope not... This is so not good...
I heard the dispatch this morning at 0620. " All units switch to Tac 4 for radio reprogramming" Last thing I heard from them. They came along way since the old green and white cars running colors for radio channels on UHF Blue Yellow ,White, Green and a few others. Old cars had a control head with colored buttons on them. Good by SDSO for now.

Patch & Channels Clear...
Someone called me on the phone a few moments ago and said I'd get a kick out of RR this afternoon. Boy were they right.
Children are dying of starvation all over the world, and the fact you can't listen to your local law enforcement agencies is "heartbreaking".
I'll let that speak for itself.
It's your government, people. This is going on all over the place. Band together and do something about it if it means that much to you.
In the meantime, my work radio sounds just fine to me. Bet that breaks your heart too, don't it?

You‘re really going to take issue with a word I used?
