Easy answer. No. And I wouldn't expect to see any anytime soon, seeing as it's highly illegal to intercept encrypted communications.

It's concidered unwise to cross post in several forums. Plus what you want to do is not legal in the US, besides being somewhat difficult

No!
(added characters since "NO" is not a long enough answer for the forum)

Tell us how you intend to spend the bucks, and lots here will tell you where you are incorrect.

why dont you expect to see any software soon? is this a technology thing or just illegal. it is illegal to do alot of things, but you can still do them.
grog>>> i think you are speaking of my regional forum post. in this post i am asking about software. plus it is relevant to the regional system where i am at. thank you for your concern though.

Honestly, of all things illegal, this is among the least 'high'. It's a similar situation to 'highly illegal' telephone monitoring.

Plus, those people who provide the means to defeat the technology are subject to the same penalties.

Unless of course you're a federal agency looking to justify sucking up more tax money for the latest and greatest encryption, in which case you say DES is crackable by amateurs now, so we must abandon it for the latest new encryption standard...
Yes, DES is no longer approved for federal radio system encryption, because it's too easy to crack. Uh-huh.

Another simplistic view. 
What about the fact hat it takes YEARS to cycle all existing systems out of service.
Therefore they have to predict well in advance and stop buying technology ahead of when it will actually become a security liability.

did the federal government use this technology before the local police started using it?

Given enough time and money, any encryption scheme can be broken. This is factored in when a new system is authorized for use.
Having said that, no software exists that will allow you to decode encryption. There will not be any software in the future that will allow you to do so.
At the risk of starting a flame war, anyone who tells you otherwise does not understand the complexities of a modern encryption system. There is much, much (MUCH!) more to breaking an encrypted signal than software.

Okay, before this thread goes the way of most threads when encryption is mentioned I am going to close it. The OP's question was answered and any further discussion is inappropriate on this forum.
If you want to discuss this at length, I suggest the Tavern.
