[FedCom] ICE South Florida

[lists at lazygranch.com]

ESK has to do with decoding the control channel. Provoice is on the voice channel. 

Using provoice samples, I've decoded provoice with DSD. I haven't found any real life provoice. 

I found an Opensky channel, but I think it was just a control channel. DSD didn't act like it understood the signal.

FYI there is an open source program called DSD
http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/DSD that along with a scanner
and a Linux box will decode ProVoice transmissions, just not encrypted
ProVoice transmissions. This is a huge step though for people in
places like Hawaii (HPD) that use ProVoice without encryption yet have
no scanner on the market that will decode ProVoice.

I am no expert but it looks as if they have stepped up the security of
the latest ProVoice systems in places like Florida using ESK or what
they call the "EDACS Security Key" to restrict "eavesdropping",
"unauthorized transmissions" etc. even though it looks like you can
"track" ProVoice ESK systems and "monitor analog talk-groups" with
certain scanners. Read more here:
