Scanner, shmanner. If it can "scan" more than one channel at a time, it's going to be colloquially called a "scanner" by most outside of the hobby/profession. They wanted to make a point, and the timing is not a coincidence. Anyway, good for the NYPD protecting their comms if they feel it necessary. Too much sense of entitlement from the hobbyists when it comes to this stuff, as evidenced by this thread and many others on these forums. Ø

There is no sense of "entitlement" ..... "We" have expressed disappointment.

Perhaps you are referring to The Press community, and the many employment positions that will be eliminated in the New York City press especially the stringers and small businesses that will be eliminated once NYPD goes encrypted.

Perhaps you take things a little too personally. Not everything is directed at or towards you. :cautious:

They all look like CCR's, and they will all scan.
And remember, they are writing these social media posts for the lowest common denominator, those that wouldn't know the difference between a scanner or a CCR, or for that matter, an FRS radio or a CB radio.

Pretty easy for any loser to find frequencies online and program them in to the Chinese Crap Du Jour radios and scan. End result is the same. And I'll be you a dollar that the users didn't go out of their way to inhibit the transmit on those to be "good upstanding citizens".

This is why they are encrypting. This is exactly why they are encrypting.
