You don't like it, get your city/county/state/federal lawmakers to enact a law prohibiting encryption. If enough voters think like you, should be a piece of cake. Until then, you will have live with

As a long time radio op, and Extra licensee on the amateur bands, I strongly disagree. First, most criminals have no idea how to operate one of the complex scanners available today. Second, with the

Hopefully this is allowed. I have 2 websites for scanner frequencies that are up and operational to help with scanner frequencies. GeorgiaScanner.com ScanVermont.com Next month I will be turning on

Here is an interesting option for agencies that are encrypted.  As I have said elsewhere, I run a regional P-25 trunked system for a living.  We have dozens of law enforcement agencies on the

the US. Where do people get this idea?  No one was forced to go digital - period.  Narrowband yes by 1/1/2013 for VHF high and UHF (but not for VHF low or 800 - and 900 already was narrowband), but

That's where brains come in. You never plan raids over the air. That should be done in the briefing room. What you seem to forget is that the NEIGHBORS of those criminals can monitor, too, and

Rather than think I know better than what these agencies need, I thank my lucky stars that I could listen to some great communications in the 80's just by programming a Bearcat or a Radio Shack

Exactly. With analog, you could hear a weak signal if you were close enough, but with digital, you’re absolutely correct: it’s all or nothing. If you’re not 100% “in” you’re not “in”

Wow, guess we know what you are smoking down there in Colorado! Mick

Here is a stupid chief...went to DMR,going to wait until people buy the expensive scanners , then encrypt. Minden Louisiana. Jerry

You all seem to forget... That unencrypted police radio means it is unencrypted for YOU and the criminals in town too. 26 years as a police officer in Denver, CO and while not frequent, there were

It's useless to add decryption when you will never get the key. (I know - the users will pay off the system operators for them.) ;-> Joe M.

Never is a very long time. Sad to say that if the manufacturers see a big enough profit in it they can buy a dispensation from the F.C.C. Very little if anything (that I know of) has been done by the

Or just select the "Daily Summary" as your Subscription preference.

99 percent of police traffic should be in the clear, unencrypted. And you are quite right, when everything is encrypted and in the shadows it will smack of "secret police." With very few exceptions,

I lived most of my life in kali and never heard CHP crypto. They have changed some freq's but always in the clear, 10-4? A terrific day in Nebraska! Don More Live Radio Fun and a Whole Lot
