SDS100/SDS200: No Encryption notification with Uniden scanners?

[N8TXX]

Most of the time it blows right by it.
For this purpose I locked on the channel to show what pops up on screen

Ok, wondered how you captured it:

Thanks everyone for setting the record straight. The Uniden scanners do indeed show when an encrypted signal is being transmitted.
In my case, and probably most cases, the scanners go by the encrypted signals so quickly you hardly know it happened.
Now generally this is a good thing, because why would you want to be bothered by hearing a garbled encrypted signal? Well, sometimes I want to know who and when they are broadcasting encrypted signals. The system I monitor seems to change when and what city they encrypt. And at times I would like to know this, as part of the scanning hobby. It would be nice if in a firmware upgrade, a feature to toggle on-and-off, not blow by encrypted signals, especially with the new SDS200 which I'm looking forward to. Right now, I have to run my PSR800 scanner to know this information.

There are those who would like to disable the feature so much that they'd be willing to $pay$ to have the radio work the way the user wishes. Like an extreme upgrade feature??? Oh that's just crazy talk... ?$UNIDEN$?

I see your point but have a DMR system the works in the clear then encrypts some traffic my Unidens log the TG UID DATE and TIME in PROSCAN then goes back to scanning my TRX's sounds like a busy phone and misses traffic until the encrypted signal ends.

Uniden won't upgrade the firmware to allow for a Enc notification toggle on/off for two reasons:
1. It would take a few minutes of labor to write code.
2. They don't give a damn what the consumer wants.
