P25 radios


 

1yr 3mo new 59yr old ham seeking info on p25 vhf and uhf rigs. Cost associated with rigs and software packages. Of the Ham clubs associated near me one uses uhf encrypted one uses vhf and one uses vhf trunked. Why do they all use different rig setups? Where they can control who's in and who's out?

Have you contacted EF Johnson? It looks like the P-25 is in production.

As for the various modes used by your local clubs, I can't help there. In our
area of the country, we only have 4 basic systems: FM, D-Star, Yaesu Fusion, and
DMR. We also have PL tones to work with which keep random radio signals from
opening the repeater squelch. Nothing encrypted or trunked.

I would suggest you contact a local club and ask those other questions about
trunking, etc.

Rick,

Unless something changed in the rules that I don't know about, which is possible, encryption on ham radios is illegal.

As to why different schemes, it may depend on what radios are popular in a given area.

Why trunking I have no idea.
