Good morning all Im new here,
I have a analog HH-Bearcat scanner so was looking to upgrade to the new digital radios. Ive narrowed it down to the Whistler TRX2 scanner. So here is my problem, I only like to listen to the police calls around my town, I dont listen to RR, weather, EMT's, Im only interested on the crime in my city. So in my search I found all these articles on Police encryption and how we wont be able to hear any police calls anymore. Its already happening around the US. The town I live in is the county seat so they already have the P25 going, I know this cause Im not hearing a whole lot on my analog scanner.
Here is my big question, why should I spend all this money on a police scanner if they are going to block us out? Even if the encryption happens later I will be stuck with a pricey paper weight.
I really would appreciate any input.
Thanks kindly, Sunny
