State of Kentucky P25 7/800 Trunked Radio System

[buddrousa]

Thanks for the heads up.
Now this does not mean they will start transmitting next week.
The Tower Sites may or may not be standing so this could be 6 months to a year before sites become active.

I hope they don’t come online to 25725

When they come online, there gonna be using the new AES-512, it’s extra secure….

They gotta be building that out for more state agencies than just KSP. . . 6 Voice channels per site. Be so nice to pick their brain just to see what they have in mind, but I'm sure they won't be saying much.

They had a bad experience long, long time ago when someone hacked their system and was calling in bogus help calls. Ever since then, they've held cards very close to their vests.

6 RF channels per site is pretty standard for Motorola systems. The site equipment is referred to as a “6-Pack” and is shipped pre assembled from Motorola.

Some people can't keep a secret for more than about 15 minutes.

I recall at East Baton Rouge we had 9 channels for dispatch and one control channel, we had different agencies, DPW,Law Enforcement. Divided between East and West Baton Rouge Sheriff's, Pointe Coupe Sheriff, New Roads PD Baker and Zachary Police. We did not have encryption however certain divisions at EBRSO had the capability. Baton Rouge PD had their system .We never had interoperability until 2007 when we came on line with the State Police in Louisiana.

You really want this system to come up.

Go listen to Madison county. Oh wait….

When this system comes online and hits you with the big E you are going to wish they stayed conventional.

 

[FD101]

I think I need a refill @mastr

 

[Scannerboy1999]

No it’s a waste of money I want to know if it’s been canceled

 

[buddrousa]

Its not been Canceled and you have no control over it. Now sit in the backseat of the car child and we will tell you when to get out.

Heres your important assignment for this week:

Go to Kentucky State Police Headquarters at the Capitol and ask them very nicely what is being done with our tax dollars with respect to the 'new radio system'.

Tell them to hurry up and get it on the air so you can listen to them and tell them NOT to go encrypted.

Report the results here.

We'll be waiting to hear from you.

 

[Bill88]

Scanner boy... Do you have any updates yet?

 

[Andyssonopie]

No it’s a waste of money I want to know if it’s been canceled

100 percent don't want them to go to the big E, but talk to a state trooper and let him tell you how outdated there system is, how when you don't have cell service and your so called waste of money radio will not get out. I hope it's not you or a family member needing help and there radio is not working .. Sorry rant over.......

 

[Scannerboy1999]

I’m just curious who else’s is going to be on that system

 

[buddrousa]

Depends on coverage, who can afford it, and any grants left available.
Departments that are used to $2500 repeaters and $500 radios are going to be in sticker shock.
When my old Department upgraded we moved to new DMR 35 Walkies and 20 Mobiles and DMR Repeater for the price of less than 15 State System Walkies.
