Before I shell out big bucks for a new scanner, does Danville PD encrypt all or most of their transmissions? Almost all other city services are now NXDN - Fire and Rescue just switched, thus joining the Police. Even before the NXDN move, the PD could selectively scramble a few calls. That was rare. I have been listening the police since I got surplus receivers (not scanners) from WWII tanks back in the '50s.
I just got out of the hospital and want to resume my hobby. But $$$ stand in the way, especially if I cannot hear most of the local traffic. I have asked city government officials and members of the department. I don't think they understood the question.
I know if they are not encrypted today, that could change. I'm willing to take my chances on that.
