Re: Charlestown Square Shopping Centre
It seems to me that scanner manufacturers are going to have to start developing receivers that will decode all these new-fangled modes soon or we'll have nothing to listen to? APCO25 is becoming a smaller and smaller percentage of what's out there these days!

Re: Charlestown Square Shopping Centre
yep agree there, whether or not they will let us listen to TRBO will be interesting as i thought it had some layer of encryption or something in it...
ps, i've not done any reading thats just what i was told by some sales people trying to sell it to me a while ago at work

Re: Charlestown Square Shopping Centre
TRBO has two optional modes of encryption - Basic and Enhanced privacy. Basic Privacy is just that, an 8-bit key is used to scramble the transmissions, however the calculations to figure out the key would take a second at most on a modern PC to retrieve they key.
Enhanced privacy uses 40-bit RC4 encryption (still considered weak) which would take considerably longer to perform a brute force key search on.
Interestingly, TRBO is based on the open ETSI standards, however both TRBO privacy modes are proprietary and /\/\otorola only.
There is open source software available that allows you to listen to unencrypted TRBO transmissions (assuming you can work a linux machine). Have a look on radioreference for the DSD project.

Garry - trbo systems appear to a 60 second pulse. Have u heard it? How many of the centre freqs are trbo ? There is no obvious acma entry for this shopping centre or have they switched to a rental frequency?. Grant

Re: Charlestown Square Shopping Centre
The noises sound similar but I find that trbo have a short buzz for a second or two every 60 seconds when it is otherwise quiet .... Grant
