Red Wave Radio

I have a relative who works for Motorola and he's telling me that
threre are 3 states, 5 cities, and 7 counties already that will be
switching to encyption around the time Uniden releases their digital
radio. One agency (HP) are going to wait a month or two before they
encrypt to***people off. What ***s!!!!!!

Most agencies CAN'T just turn on encryption, they'll need to spend
_many_ millions of dollars to upgrade, and in THIS economy, few of
them are going to be able to justify that kind of expenditure.

I hope that does happen. We will finally see the first law suits over public
safety encypting their signal.The news media won't stand for it and
I agree with them.

No, you won't, iso.  The police simply provide (at high cost, but hey, the
media makes lots of money, right?) real radios of theirs, programmed for
recieve only, and only to decode the 'allowed' channels (no special ops
channels, etc), to the media.  Just like they do now for trunked systems.

Well that REALLY sucks!....

The media will have the money and permission to listen to them and we
won't. They won't care if they get access.

I was told not to say because it's a private business matter.
I know (remember) that there are two HP (highway patrol) states that
will do it. One is in the Mid-west and the other is a northeast state.
And three of the cities are major cities. Two in the Northeast, one
out west, and a smaller city in the midwest. This smaller city is big
enough to have MLB, NBA, and NFL team.

Actually the government is going on the biggest spending spree ever.
They are fueling the economy with their spending. A lot of Homeland
Security funds will trickle down to communications for various areas.
I assume that encryption will be sold (sales pitch) to customers of
every new radio system as a secure "Homeland Security" communications
system, and I assume most ignorant politicians may fall for it for
security reasons. He doesn't work in sales and won't speculate if
they'll try to push these more exspensive encrypted systems after
9/11. I'm sure the sales of encryption will go up, but that's my
speculation.

Sad but true.

They would like for you to believe that myth.
Instead, they are bankrupting the economy.
