Anyone notice NNPD went encrypted? Was traveling through and noticed most of PD is encrypted and dispatch is in the clear. I'm assuming they're in the process of encrypting all PD then will strap dispatch.

Yea they will probably be the next ones on the Peninsula to encrypt. They’ve been working out all the bugs

it's not the online feeds, it's the fact that criminals use it to commit crimes and ****, NGL i've only used it to find out where the wrecks are on i-95 when i'm going through so i know if i have to avoid or can continue, never criminal stuff though

A lot of it is. It what’s caused VBPD to encrypt. All those feeds are in the scanner apps from the broadcastify feed. Think about it, when NN went P25 in 2015, there was some selective encryption on the OC channels for NNPD, TOU was strapped but everything else was clear. And it wasn’t until recently there’s been more feeds for Newport News. The fact is feeds are ruining the hobby because the average person isn’t going to spend the $400+ to buy a scanner and program it

I used to really enjoy listening to NNPD in background while working. This is really disappointing. At present it seems everything but dispatch and some sheriff units are encrypted.

Looks like, judging from the RRDB changes this week and listening to NNPD today (well NOT listening to them), they are now fully encrypted. :cry:
