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...

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.

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.
