[TrunkCom] while we are on the subject of encryption

[Arthur-Bryan E. Phelps]

I believe that M/A Com will interface with P25 systems. Check their web
site.

EXACTLY! I agree with that.

If that is the case with ProVoice then what the heck is the point of
standards and open-source and trying to achieve "transparent"  
Interoperability? Plus as far as I know, all the money grants "raining" from
Homeland Security do stipulate at least some P-25 requirements in order to
get the grants.

All reasons related to our hobby aside, this is some serious fraud, waste
and abuse of tax payers money to allow so many proprietary AND incompatible
technologies to be used as primary communications systems for Public Safety,
especially with all the money, time and effort already spent NATIONWIDE on
P25 related technology that will go down the drain and we all end up even
worse than today as far as efficiently communicating during emergency
events.

And as usual who gets it in the end? (no pun intended) The tax payers, who
might possibly even pay with their lives when these egotistic agencies can't
communicate during an emergency.......
