Hello everyone... This is my first post so I hope that I am doing this correctly for the group.
I used to be a very big scanner listener back in the 90s and 00s when I lived in Cape May County. Since moving to EHT in Atlantic County in 2010, I have not gotten into the hobby because I was told that listening to my municipality police calls was not possible because of the technology that they used. I happened to stumble along the site this morning and noticed that it states that EHT PD uses P25 Phase II, which I am seeing that scanners do exist for monitoring. However, I am also noticing that the site is saying that EHT PD calls are "encrypted", but there was no additional information given.
My question is, (before I spend a few hundred on a P25 Phase II scanner), is that if I were to purchase such a radio, would I be able to monitor Egg Harbor Township police? Is there anyone out there from this area that could point me to the right direction on if it is possible?
Thanks to everyone in advance,
-Kris
