[TrunkCom] partial encryption and if so how is this possible?

[Larry Frey]

Hi All, 
Does anyone know what the San Diego trunked system is, and will a pro 96 work on it? San Diego County Sheriff, Cal. Highway Patrol. Thanks in advance KE6EDR Larry

OK, I'll try to explain this one...

On conventional Encrypted P25, the Pro-96 will NOT skip the transmission
On trunked Encrypted P25 with a 3600bps control channel, the Pro-96 WILL 
skip the transmission*
On trunked Encrypted P25 with a 9066bps control channel, the Pro-96 WILL NOT 
skip the transmission.

On 3600bps control channels, as long as the first user to transmit is 
encrypted, you won't hear it since the control channel carries the encrypted 
status bit throughout the conversation. If the first person to transmit is 
not encrypted, they you will hear it and any encrypted transmissions that 
follow until the repeater times out and a new one is used.

On 9600bps control channels, the only message that carries the encryption 
flag is the initial channel grant. The update messages do not, which makes 
it difficult if not impossible for the scanner manufactures to determine 
encryption until they switch to the voice channel.
