I have a few questions that perhaps some readers can clear up.
I understand Peel Region has gone encryption. Is there a scanner out there yet that will pick them up?

I heard others say that peel had gone Phase 2..... what is phase 2.

lastly , I picked up a grecom psr-800 , is it a decent radio and has anybody had issues upgrading the firmware and cpu ?

thanks

There will never be a scanner that can pick them up.

Peel isn't using Phase II. Phase II is just two conversations on one RF channel.

Take a look at the database for the system in question. The police are indeed encrypted and you'll never ever be able to monitor them but the cities in the regions fire services are in the clear. Caledon police is actually the OPP so u can indeed monitor them still.

I had the same scanner as you. It worked well on just about everything I wanted to monitor except it did a crappy job on the Phase 2 GO bases. I don't recommend anyone get this scanner if u want to monitor Phase 2.

With the EMS and fire and Caledon OPP in the clear you still have a lot to monitor.
