Morning - sorry about the delayed response.
I am guessing "Yes" it could be encrypted but I can hear Patrol, Administration and the Airport area command just fine. Its when Gangs/Narcs, Organized Crime, Robbery, Special operations, Specialized Investigations key up, it sounds muffled or like they are underwater - I have used both the Uniden software to import on to the radio and the BuTel importing via Radio Reference..
Any thoughts?
