I'm taking a trip to Ocala, and Silver Springs and would like to bring my scanner if I can listen to Police, Fire, EMS and so on. Are the Public safety frequencies encrypted ?
I heard today that Marion County radios are in the radio shop being reprogrammed and the entire system will be encrypted. I don't know about the City of Ocala's system.
Maybe going ENC partly due to the "Ocala Police Scanner" group on Facebook. 48,357 members as of this post. Marion Co had 350K population 2014, so roughly 14% of the county in that group. I personally don't have a problem with the FB page, but it is a VERY active group on Facebook.
LMAO. Small world. I created that group. Actually I'm at 50,200 members now. I'm sure we'll get the blame for the encryption but I don't really believe that. There's an app for here which wasn't there when I created the group 15 months ago. I also think it's been in the works for a while. Almost all surrounding counties are already encrypted. I can confirm that MCFR did upgrade their radios this past Tuesday. The only thing in the clear is primary dispatch. Just about everything else is encrypted. So I hear the call go out and nothing else. My sources tell me that MCSO will be doing something similar or be 100% encrypted. I also know for a fact that OPD has new radios just not in use yet.
I used to live there, and the MCSO / OPD do like to spend taxpayer money on the next new gadget.
And even if it doesn't work they will still take 100 of them.
Encryption will happen probably within the next year or so.

It's already here. MCFR is already ENC everything but their primary dispatch TG.
LMAO - Really ? I don't think its that funny.
