Well i guess it has been awhile since I have listened to Walker County. Jasper Law Dispatch is now encrypted. I still hear the cars.Anyone fill me in when all this took place? I'm out of the loop!
I remember listening to the police cars (regular p25) talking to dispatch saying repeat or 10-9, I am just happy I can still let my family living in Jasper use my older analog scanner to listen
How is encryption putting lives at stake? I'm not a fan of it as a scanner enthusiast, but there is a need for it in some circumstances. The City of Birmingham have already or will be encrypting most talkgroups on the Jeffco system-soon to be part of the AFRN system to protect the citizens we serve. As a firefighter/paramedic with the city, we save the lives. Scanner listeners don't.
