Since you guys are local to me, (in the same state anyway) I figured I would ask the following.
Does anyone know if Michigan is going to move to Project 25 "PHASE II" any time soon?
I have an HP-1, and though it took me a long while to figure out how to set it up with a favorites list for just my area, I am really liking it. I am thinking about a second one so I don't have to keep taking it in and out of the house. I do not want to spend the money if PHASE II will soon kick in, and I would be forced to buy a new scanner anyway. ( I know the HP-2 will decode PHASE II)
Thoughts?
From what I heard the cost of doing that right now would be colossal so that's not happening anytime soon. Only the departments that joined in recently got APXes anyway, everybody else is still rockin' the XTS series radios and Spectras.

A lot of the Downriver system is encrypted, a lot of it is mixed.... adding another feed is unnecessary, unless its intent is to give reason for the rest of the users to join the others that are enrypted.

It is hard to tell sometimes who is or isn't encrypted on that system. It seems like it changes from time to time. No downriver currently does not have any kind of feed. Wayne County Michigan Live Audio Feeds .... A number of people such as Josh feel that the internet streams are a major reason that PD's go encrypted. Discussing that here would be beating a dead horse as that topic has its own forum. So long as your feed does not violate the feed provider terms of service (https://broadcastify.zendesk.com/entries/23258303-Becoming-A-Feed-Provider ) you will be okay.

If somebody wanted to donate a couple bucks here I would be willing to go by a splitter and a cable so that I could the output of my scanner to my laptop I just bought the scanner or speaker and a pigtail and I got like 26 bucks left in my bank account and I don't want to end up having to close it, so if somebody wanted to kick in a little bit of money at my website using the Donate tab I would be more than willing fill out an application and throw up a feed as soon as my scanner got here. My website basically is k8cpa.com.

And before anybody says it no I'm not begging I just made a suggestion anybody wants it bad enough will kick in a little and I'll put it up ASAP

Half and Half

I'd say it's about 50/50 right now.
About half the comms are in the clear, and about half are not.
I don't listen as often as I used to, but when I do, seems like the bases are more often clear than not, and the mobiles are more often encrypted than not.

Yes, this is what I have also found. I don't listen much anymore, not enjoyable like it used to be.

Just thought I would post a follow up. I listen to Downriver Mutual here and NONE of it is Encrypted at all. It's on digital trucking P25; but it's perfectly receivable here on the 536. Now Toledo PD on the other hand... Grrr.

Just letting ya'll know. :D
