TETRA? The radio protocol used by the police?
Sigh…
I did not expect them to be so dumb as to break their own specific encryption systems…
Well, I guess I expected the bare minimum from the government, and they let me down…
…again.
Also, the implementation is fucking horrible. The rule is literally “Press, Think, Speak”, because requesting to speak and opening a connection takes a solid 5-10 seconds. Very good if you want to communicate while in a burning house. Literally everybody hates it.
Oh, what the fuck?
One of the key benefits of radio communications, is that it acts as a megaphone, but only to people monitoring the channel.
Press the PTT key, and talk (following established radio protocol), 5-10 sec delay is crap!
That sounds horrible. What about this stupid standard takes this fucking long? Is it not improvable by current tech?
They are working on it. The TETRA standard is from the 90s, and by now the last fire departments are switching to it (TETRA)
Maybe 20 years between the federal decision and the last county implementing the new standard.
Are you using a different Tetra than anyone else? Because every radio i have used takes at max 1-1,5s to establish communications?
No it’s the tech behind milk cartons, tetrapak
So Alfa Laval?
Security through bureaucracy.

Sorry but do you have a Please Don’t Form 1302?
Only the Can You Don’t 3907B
That one does not apply today or tomorrow.
But I have a The Eighties Called 60873.a form that allows me to use that previous one
