Hi all, newbie here. Recently Medford PD in MASS> converted to Digital P25. I cannot receive them any longer even though I have a newer digital capable Uniden. Could they be encrypting? I notice it doesn't work on the Broadcast version either.

I receive them (as documented in the database), though they are at the edge of my range in that direction.

Not encrypted. I hear them in Needham but they are definitely not the flame thrower they were under analog. I suspect its setup for in city coverage.

Even analog I found their signal to be quite weak recently. From what I understand they are using linear simulcast, so some scanners may have trouble picking them up.
