Hello everyone. My name is Jeremy (amateur radio call sign N9JTW) and I just moved to the area back in February. I'm looking to get a new digital scanner so I can monitor local pubic service. I have a Bc125AT which worked fine where I came from, but I know I'll need a digital scanner to get most anything around here.
My question is which would be the best (probably handheld) scanner to use for this area? I've looked at the database and wiki, and see that Denver city/county are on an EDACS system, correct? Now is the entire system on an encrypted provoice system or only certain channels. Ideally I want to make sure I don't waste my money on a $500 scanner only to find out that Denver Fire and PD are fully encrypted.
I'm in the Littleton area just inside Denver Co. I also work in Lakewood and would likely want to listen to their system as well.
Thanks ahead of time for any help.
