Correct. Every law enforcement TG on the new system is 100% encrypted.
No scanner will decode them anymore.

I also believe that scanner is only Phase 1 capable. So SOL on everything that’s Phase 2(assuming all TG’s on the system).

Anybody else getting those annoying county dispatch tones now? I'm hearing them on both radios now.

I'm getting that, too. It seems they used to drop the transmit PL while the tones transmitted so that they weren't annoying but now the PL is being transmitted. I hope this is temporary because it is annoying and causes my other half to complain. I used to live in Bucks County where they do not mask the tones and when I came to Burlington it was like a breath of fresh air.

Oh I see. I'm used to hearing the tones. With my new SDS I wasn't hearing the tones til Policefreak talked me thru opening it back up.

Ok, I'm beyond green to all this scanner info so I apologize in advance. I have a WS1065 in Mount Laurel. If I'm reading this thread correctly, my scanner is useless for hearing any police activity now?
Yep everyone is correct, your rebranded GRE scanner, a classic in its day did very well with the old 500 megahertz type II smartzone system but it will not work on the new P2 tdma simulcast system.

All police are encrypted but fire and EMS will be in the clear.

So, how did you unmute them? I'll just do the opposite.
Sorry for the delay. Here's what to do...
Hold on F-1. To do so press the CHANNEL button.
Press E/YES button. Highlight EDIT CURRENT CHANNEL and press E/YES. Highlight SET AUDIO TYPE and press E/YES. Highlight ALL and press E/YES. Press the left unmarked key below the screen (usually SYSTEM key) to resume.

See if this works for ya.

I'm hearing both sides? Pretty sure it is a traffic detail...also can anyone figure out what the heck TGID 3118 is? They're giving water temps of all things.

Any idea why there’s only one fire department or 1 EMS tag being used on the new system but not all of them yet

Sorry for the delay. Unfortunately you may have discovered that even while following the inverse of rrpratt's instructions you cannot get rid of the tones. The station tones are now also transmitting the PL Tone 127.3 along with the voice dispatch. So theres no longer a way to just get the voice dispatch without the tones. This is likely to do with the F-1 patch being set up on the new 700 system.

Stupid thing is the tones are loud, clear (even down LBI) and about 50% louder than the voice transmission that's always staticy (even in county).
So to keep the neighbors from complaining and me from jumping out of my seat I have to offset the volume to the point I barely hear the voice.
