Digital In San Joaquin And Stanislaus?

How will this affect those using scanners?
Most scanners will no longer be capable of monitoring our channels. In order for a scanner to access our digital channels, it must be digital-capable and programmed with our unique access code(s). Those access codes will not normally be made available to members of the general public.

I emailed the PD PIO as soon as I got this to see if he could find out if this is a NAC or if they will be encrypted, as of right now he has not gotten back to me.

I seem to think it's just a NAC.


I also asked, in the event they will be encrypted, what they plan to do to allow media access to the radio system. This is the first "major" city in the Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto area that may be going encrypted and my station is already concerned about not being able to monitor them.

The way the wording is, "unique access code(s)" has me worried, but, true it could mean NAC.

As I said before, I know the S/O is planning on encryption, so I don't know why Stockton would be any different. Manteca and Ripon already do it. They may just be jumping on the bandwagon.

I read it as requiring a NAC and no mention of encryption.

Stay positive folks!

Same freqs. Channel 1 NAC is 371

No encryption.

So far I've confirmed channels 1 - 4 but have not seen 5 or 6 yet. The NAC's probably follow a sequential order but we won't be adding them (to the DB) until they're confirmed.
