I think its OTACS and OTACR which are proprietary to LAPD

oh and the infamous MODAT if its an 800 radio. software encryption doesn't work on an IMBE radio, I think.,

R0f will no more.

Depending on radio and firmware size:

The MAX is:

1meg radios:
Portable: 599108-1C5E00-x
Mobile: 599108-145E00-x

I'll have to play with the decoder a little bit more for 512...

So what agencies do we know of that uses OTAR or OTACS? I have a factory flashed radio with OTACS or OTAR (not both).

Don't forget, OTAR != OTACR. OTAR (over-the-air rekeying) is used by several federal agencies. OTACR (over-the-air channel reassignment), is, I believe, only used by LAPD.
