If I am able to monitor my local Sheriff’s office here on Broadcastify. Would I not be able to monitor it on my Pro-197 scanner. If not can someone explain why? The talk groups are programmed.

RG specifically here is the info from RR. It doesn’t appear by the mode indicator column to be encrypted.
That’s great info guys. I really appreciate your time. SDR is definitely new to me. I’ll get to studying and consider. I am not opposed to upgrading to a new scanner as well since I could use 2 anyway. Suggestions for units appreciated. I did have an idea that my 197 wasn’t phase II scannable but if in the mode column the “T” indicates TDMA I can get numerous frequencies that show “T” So I might need clarification on that.
There is a small chance you could hear traffic on one of the P2 sites, which would be due to a user having an older radio affiliated to that TG. The system will revert to P1, if a user is not P2 capable. (That degrades the capacity of the system by a little bit; one talk path on the affected repeater, instead of two.)That’s great info guys.
