      Encryption isn't really a must for any public safety. It's a desire. They technically can't say anything over the air that violates HIPPA even if they are encrypted.. as a firefighter. Encryption kills interoperability

    How is the analog scan on these for example, selected as priority, a priority 2 and the rest operator select? Does it have the delay or chop as most kenwoods do?

      I should note this has been the biggest complaint from users as they are use to Motorola scan. It would be nice if they were able to mute the mdc. I know pre can be done on bk and Kenwood but end muting is another complaint from users wearing surveillance ear piece's.

    My agency has NX-1000 and 5000’s, and we are looking at doing our own programming of our radios. What is the process to be able to get the software? I’ve called kenwood and requested information off their website, but no one has called me back

      It can do FPP if optioned. NAS is almost impossible on Kenwood. BK is great for NAS. They even have videos showing how to do it.

    All preppers beware: ALL chinese made radios can be monitored, disabled and/or tracked by the chinese government. Also, radios with chinese made chips can be monitored, disabled and/or tracked by the chinese. Being cheap isn't always the best way.....

      Some skitzo crap right there. There's a lot of reasons those radios suck and or are not legal the way people use them. Untill I see evidence on a spectrum analyzer this track and monitor claim is ridiculous though. U think they are paying for cell phone service to track each one or have satalites dedicated to listening to the garbage radios they sell? What I'm getting at is that your claim requires they use something to listen. Also most of the Chinese garbage people are buying are 2m/70cm analog... So anyone near by can listen in
