I,ve been watching to see if any scanner has been made yet to monitor this new system. Just checking if a manufacturer has come out with one yet. Thanks for replying

Open Sky can't be scanned because the manufacturer doesn't want to release any info to scanner makers, so they'd be breaking the law by doing so.

Click to expand... Maybe, maybe not. The market is too small to justify the reverse engineering. I doubt the intellectual property would hold up in court to good attack.
