My local Police dispatch just changed need help setting up

My local Police dispatch just change from conventional to
Police have switched to this system TG 5006 (Encrypted)
I have a SDS 100 can I program for this change?

You can not monitor them if they are encrypted.

But if you want any more info you need to tell us what system they are on, location, and agency name.

TG 5006 (Encrypted)

You're out of luck.

Thank you for the quick responses. It is Freehold Township police in Monmouth County NJ TG 5006 (Encrypted) sounds like my my expensive radio just became a doorstop for my locality.

Unfortunately, yes - unless they make a change.

If the only thing you find interesting is local police, then yes, though the SDS100 is selling at a premium right now so you won't lose much, if anything. But, there is still the local fire/EMS, other police departments, Feds, Mil Air, Civilian Air, Railroads, schools, businesses and the list goes on. To say it is a door stop because one agency stopped broadcasting in the clear is like saying cars are useless because you can't buy a blue one.

Agree with the blue car analogy. There are lots of active systems in that area. I would figure that area to be a target rich environment for an SDS100.

You were seriously overequipped for monitoring one conventional frequency.

And the "big-E" rears its ugly head once again! To the OP if you take a look at the Monmouth County Public Safety database page at the talkgroup tables, focusing on the Mode column, all talkgroups listed as mode "DE" or "TE" are encrypted and therefore cannot be monitored. Only those with mode "T" are "in the clear" and CAN be monitored. Hope this helps, 73!

I think the OP's question has been answered.

If you want to discuss encryption, and yes, you can use that word instead of some made-up euphemism, we have a thread for that:

The Official Thread: Live audio feeds, scanners, and... wait for it.. ENCRYPTION!

In the words of the Bud Light commercial .... HERE WE GO! Go forth and fight for and against the RadioReference Live Audio Feed platform. Keep it civil, keep it clean. Good luck :roll:
