Well that sucks for the public and media. Thankfully, the encryption used in Virginia is dog crap so so some of us can still listen to it - a risk I'm going to keep taking until a judge has my stuff taken. Long live transparency!
Hampton Roads Southside is everything now encrypted
- Thread starter PC_Medic
- Start date
So what’s the key since you know it? 100% guarantee you’re bsing
As of 11/17/2023 Portsmouth is encrypted. Only thing I can get is FIRE.
Does the SDS100 pick up encrypted channels? I know the SDS200 does, but the price is out of reach for me.
I know they’re encrypted. I’m calling bs for him having the encryption key. He said the same **** when VB went encrypted
And neither pick up encryption. Soon as they detect it they skip over it

No scanner picks up encryption, even the SDS series.
Not quite true. you can receive and listen to Encrypted police channels very easily. You can not however decode that encryption.
Military encryption is something altogether different and in most cases can’t be received let alone decoded.
Do what? Dude it’s the same damn thing, either way you can’t hear what the transmission says. Just gotta get technical huh

That's simply semantics.
Keep in mind you can still listen to the downtown safety ambassadors (kind of like security for downtown) , the state police, fire, business bands, the fire police Talkaround, and state and national interop freqencies if Norfolk PD ever were to go encrypted.

VSP is in the midst of going ENC as we speak.

Hampton and newport news PD use LAFB's encrypted frequency
What the hell are you talking about? They use their own frequencies……. Langley is on a whole other band

my sisters roommate is a dispatch for hampton/NNPD and my brother is litterlay a cop for NN. they share the same network. they are both on langleys p25 trunked band.
Hampton and Newport News are 800. Langley is UHF 400. If you look in the database you’ll see they’re completely different systems. Might not wanna get up here and try to argue as a Newbie when a lot of us used to monitor Hampton and Newport News on before they went to P25 and followed them, figured out unknown TG’s when they switched to P25
They could be ISSI linked and share TG on all the systems, to the user it would all be on the same radio and invisible to them
Someone with no knowledge how it all works could assume that they are all on the same "network"

Custom Firmware for Encryption
I just found this on FaceBook, after reading this, I have no idea if this is "real" or just a scam. https://github.com/x27/CFT?fbclid=IwY2xjawHhPGNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHVPyWam68bg-iHnPkH5Hys5QMSWDF4FNNA3DgJh8ukkNGuM1Jsg1sxhtOA_aem_M0wZMvaf2KFTRNNp0ORqig
IF you have the Key a scanner can pick it up, This is NOT decoding the encryption, this is having an authorized key and using the scanner to listen-Just like a Unication Pager can....This firmware also opens up the RX on the scanner from 25-1300 no gaps
