Re: Encrypted APCO 25 system

Hi Brian, from what I understand the 250D is not capable of monitoring a
full-blown 9600 BAUD P-25 radio system. And if the radio was indeed capable
of monitoring the P-25 system there in Rhode island it's not that
*everything* is encrypted, it's usually just certain talk groups such as
detectives etc. that are encrypted while Fire talk groups might be out in
the open.

Oh, it was updated in January with a new talk group so somebody is
listening: Last Updated:January 23, 2009, 2:39 pm (Added Talkgroup 11003
Brown University Police -
Tactical<http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=4275&tab=history>
)

FYI I use the 250D to monitor a 3600 BAUD mixed mode P-25 system and it
works fine.

You might want to also consider the BC396T in addition to the BC996T:
