Hello everyone,
First off, a little introduction since I just signed up. I used to live here in North Alabama for a long time, then moved to Florida in 98. I just moved back to AL in July. I guess I have been out of the loop for quite some time. I used to consider myself very tech savvy, being able to mod and deal with most any piece of equipment for radio communications. Apparently this is not the case anymore, now everything is going digital and encrypted?! Well, this just sux. Glad I came here and poked around for info first, I was planning on buying a scanner so I can start one of my favorite hobbies back up. No need right this minute. I looked around on here, so far I cannot find a thing about the city I live in, Boaz. I contact a law enforcement friend in a neighboring town for info. His reply to me was that more than likely Boaz is on digital trunking now.....ugh. After reading a thread about Etowah and Gadsden going encrypted and such, since their tower(s) are in Boaz, I'm afraid that he is correct. So either i can purchase a scanner for more money than I can afford, or even doing that will be uneventful since I won't be able to hear no matter what. Unless!!! someone on here can tell me different? Does anyone on here know for sure what system Boaz City is using now? Thanks in advance, and hello everyone!
