This is a very low effort response post from ChatGPT. Maybe it will help you?

Huh? 😖

Same. I don't understand.

You can still listen to fire and other channels (hit and miss depending on what you want to listen to). Some smaller law departments might still be unencrypted too.

I know locally, they connect the laptops using a cellular network card, then CAD connects over standard TCP/IP Communications.

Woof!

I mean, normally threads are locked for a reason, but I'll leave that up to others to judge.

They must have to really get it off their shoulder.

I can confirm. An end to an era (scanning them). In an ironic twist, the thing that supposedly caused this (streaming feeds) is now provided by dispatch and is the only thing left in the hobby (listening to police radio).

You might have better luck asking in the Florida region forum.

Sarpy County, Nebraska went encrypted last month and now Omaha Police in Nebraska are at the end of the month.

Welp. It was a good run... One can only hope that this will be reversed some day, but now I'm dumbing down my equipment to all SDR (and not much) with a single Uniden SDS100 that will mostly sit dormant unless I want to listen to local businesses or fire/rescue. Bye bye both of my Uniden G5s.

If they plan to do it, I hope they do it sooner rather than later. I'd rather they didn't but once they do, I plan to sell my two G5 pagers (used as scanners) while I can still get something for them (going encrypted is becoming much of a norm in the US).

Feeds are already there but last time I listened, if there was a short transmission followed by a longer one (or even two short ones), they would play over top of each other for a few seconds (like they are being queued).

Is this official?

No idea.

You still have Omaha.

I believe it is dependent on how the P25 system is designed, but don't take my word on it. The G5 will for sure interrupt non-priority for a priority.

Thanks for the heads up!

Are there any outstanding issues?
