    Huntington Co. Police

    Good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone had luck monitoring Huntington County Pa Police Frequencies on the UHF band. On the RR page, it shows partial encryption. I was wondering which parts were encrypted and if anything on it is unencrypted? Monitoring from Fulton Co, but I generally get good...

    Bucks County Encryption (Courier Times wants to know)

    My name is Dan and I've recently got back into the scanning hobby. Thinking I might need a unit that could deal with the Simulcast issues, I came here in the past few weeks to browse around. Seeing threads about the Bucks County Encryption, I contacted my local paper to see if this issue was...

    Sheetz Gas Stations

    I'm looking primarily for Sheetz #258 or any Sheetz in the area of Pottsville. I found an FCC listing for store #221 but that's all I've found. I'm not sure if some stores just use MURS. If anyone has any input, that'd be greatly appreciated! Sheetz #221 listing...

    Butler County Police appear to have switched radios

    I had the Butler County Police North and South bands on my scanner and they have been dead silent since either Thanksgiving or the day before. I had noticed quite a few "radio service radio checks" in the past several weeks leading up to this. I am still picking up Fire and EMS on their old...

    York County Convention Channels

    Anyone know/hear what I'm hearing? I've been hearing traffic on 1 unidentified channel in P25 Mode. 500.887500 MHz NFM with NAC 037 sounds like Police mostly, maybe a little EMS. Closest result of RR search is Chester Co. but I'm definitely hearing York comms. Any input would be appreciated :)

    Dauphin County Public Safety & Dauphin County Fire/EMS DOWN - Pennsylvania

    Hello, could someone tell me why Dauphin County Public Safety went down. It has been down for some time now, but I am wondering why I can no longer find it on my scanner app. Are they now encrypting these feeds, have they switched the format to BrokenSky, or did the provider drop the stream?

    Do You Think The PA STARNET Drama Will Ever End...?

    Ok, so it only takes one look at Google to find out just how crummy the Opensky platform can be, and just how many problems it has caused agencies. Here in PA we have been unfortunate enough to gain a statewide (...in theory) Opensky system. If you look at the sticky in the PA forum you can...

I simply can't find info. showing if the State is still aggressive or not regarding the opensky program. The bottom line is that I don't want to buy an expensive scanner if it will not be good...
