Very interesting, i was wondering how good the scrambler setting would be. You've explained exactly what I was looking for. I'm hoping to get a couple of these units with the KDU at some point in the near future. Great video man, thanks very much for explaining it all so clearly
We used an skl to fill our Haris 152s and any other 152 that wasn't filled didnt even pick up the coms of the non filled 152s even on the same filled frequency even with the same frequency and on ct
Is the encryption the same on all radios, so anyone with a radio that is the same model, you can hear the encrypted transmission ? Or is there a security key like Motorola radios have ?
You're better off speaking pig latin for security than using this "scrambler". It's literally the most insecure type of transmission obfuscation you can get
Have you successfully programmed your radio with a computer? you mentioned that the middle position is for programming, i've not heard of that with the TRI radio?
@@hypemilitaria6447 Im just a tad curious where you found a reference on that it is able to program via computer? As per the manual there's three modes of that switch PT - Voice Compression (some added bitrate) LD - Normal operations VHF/UHF Analog transmissions CT - Voice Envcryption (Basically just a normal modulation of the signal) So if you could point me in a direction where you have seen that the TRI are computer programmable, then i can start investigating that, as i already have aserial option of doing it, but it is _really_ slow going.
@@SneakingMoose Now that you've brought this up, I think I may have been mistaken. I distinctly remember reading a manual showing that PC programming was an option but that may have been the TCA one. I'll ask some inside folks here whether or not the rumored programming cable is even in TRI's pipeline.
@@CallMeColtLLC First "public" mention of it, but I've had a couple dudes beta test a device I created, with a piece of software, that automates and programs the newer generations TRI-152, everything is finalizing right now and I am waiting on the prototype enclosure! This allows better remote control and automated programming from a computer/android phone. Will probably announce in one or several of the FB groups eventually!
Or!!! Get some Motorola mil surplus radios for $280/ea and have true 128bit encryption. Plus, add $80 for a Bluetooth connector for programming from your smartphone. Way cheaper and much better and huge market support! Or go modern comms, get an earbud. Connect to your phone, setup a zoom meeting, invite your team, now you are encrypted, infinite range (most areas) and you get live audio and no need to push the ptt. Keep your hands on what you need to hold.
@@coolbeanzs He is probably refering to the military version of Motorola XTS-2500 (AN/PRC-153) or the XTS-5000. The basic civilian model is a p25 phase 1 digital radio(which is FDMA, with early IMBE vocoder, note that later phase 1 radios got AMBE+2 vocoders, but they still have backwards compatibility with the early models). It has GEN3 Night Vision compatible screen and used to have military grade encryption modes until they made it to the second hand civilian market, but they still have hardware implemented AES-256. It's still compatible with any p25 phase 1 AES-256 radio with the same encryption key that you can set in the CPS software of the radio. So you can use it with old EF Johnson p25 radios, Motorola XTS(handhelds) series, XTL(big mobile radio) series, any p25 phase 1 with AES256 (regardles what kind of vocoder they have). Keep it mind phase 1 and phase 2 are not compatible with each other. Phase 2 is using TDMA.
British Army Cadet Force, a youth organisation, bought 50 of these, about 10 years ago. They are like a military scout organisation, and have no wartime role due to there age.
@@jddavis8431 where on earth do you even find the civilian one that is thousands of dollars. I’ve heard people talking about them but I never actually found one
"A normal radio like a baoang UV5R"? These TRI/TEA/etc radios are little more than a UV5R in a fancy case, in fact in many ways they are not as capable as a UV5R for other baofeng radios. I still do not understand why people are paying between $300 and $600 for these. Save you money and buy a decent radio instead.
Hello, I am leaving a comment on the most recently confirmed video of your activity because there was no response from my comment. I'd like to buy a gas mask. Please tell me how to get invited to the discord server…
@@nicke.3536 Considering hams are not allowed to use encryption it isn't worth it to make it good. There are diy solutions if real military radio is not an option
Very unsecure voice inversion, easily decrypted by other radios and its even programs for the computer to use. An aor scannaer with that funktion can easily descramble it.
I do, but their 117G has been out of production for quite a while now indeed. Albeit there are rumors that they will release an updated version in 2022.
Unfortunately, they seem to be out of stock everywhere, even on TRI's official stores. I think production of the 117Gs are on hold, either because they never really sold well or because TRI is currently working on an updated version. There are rumors out there saying both of these things.
@@hypemilitaria6447 That's awesome, thanks for the information. All good things to look forwards to acquiring at some point then. Thanks for the fast reply again brother 🍻
@@hypemilitaria6447 Hello again man, Hope you're doing well? Do you know of anywhere that has a TRI PRC-152 in stock? I've been struggling for weeks to find another one. Cheers
I'm still unsure : is the Tri PRC 152 on active CT scrambler mode able to be received by another Tri PRC 152 with CT scrambler mode enabled ? Here's hoping that my mate's Tri PRC 152 was faulty cos on CT it could be descrambled by a cheap Baofeng 888's Beat Shift. Now I'm not saying the Tri PRC 152 is a poor, overpriced radio but I don't think the programming sticker on the side will let you do frequency hopping rolling code.
Yeah, the TRI PRC-152 has more value as LARP flex than as an actual device to communicate with. It's capable but as you said, there are better options for the same money.
The TRI uses a different scrambler and is imo much better than the TCA. With the TCA I can still clearly hear what I’m saying but with the TRI I can’t. When I use the scrambler on both, I can’t hear what one is saying to the other so no they are not compatible
I know it's been a while since you did this video, but would you have time to go over some of the features, and programing that has not been covered? Thank you...
