I'm new to scanning. It's great. I like the challenge of programming my own systems and following events as they unfold using custom searches, etc.
However, I'd like to ask if anyone can mention any changes to laws, government, technological advances, or other factors that will impact (make more difficult) our ability to scan in the future.
For example, lots of organizations are moving to APCO-25 Phase II radio systems, which a lot of scanners don't support.
Then there's the requirement of the US government, I believe, to auction off a certain range of frequencies by 2021.
These are the things I'm looking for. Will scanning one day be inaccessible or nearly so to the public?
