Could always listen to Transit, Enmax....
Oh gosh NO. Have spent most of the day hitting lockout. Soon nothing worthwhile. At least I don't have to worry about the new Uniden scanner coming out. Save some money. This takes us back to 1988!

So, this trial ...is this a permanent thing or just this week?
Yes your right. just spoke with a cps member. he says they have encrypted radios. they are doing a trial this week eventually will be encrypted full time. picking up A10 but no dispatch at the time
It’s permanent. News media have (almost) all received their new radios, the new dispatch consoles are installed, and once CPS hit the switch they’re encrypted for good.

I realise that ..I was comprehending the poster that said he spoke with a cps member that stated they were "trialing" this weekThey wouldn't go through the significant expense of encryption, key loading etc, if it wasn't a permanent thing.
Almost? Except for those getting too close to the action lately?
Ugh, this really sucks.
I totally understand it, but this ends a very long time hobby.
Yep. I've been scanning since the mid-70s. Bit of a break between the move to P25, and when the P25 scanners came out. This definitely sucks.
CPS can now control how the media reports the news.
If they do not like how the media is reporting on a story all they have to do is change the code and the media is locked out.

The intent of CPS (and all police forces) to encrypt their comms isn't nearly as nefarious as all the naysayers on this forum would have you believe. Military comms have been encrypted for decades, and I don't hear anyone suggesting that they do it in an effort to deceive or control the citizenry.
We live in world of alternative facts and if the government does not like the news it is called fake news.

After having worked in several levels of govt, I don't buy into your conspiracy theory.

No scanners on the Kijiji in Calgary yet!
