The radio has arrived!
The little Remtronix 820S antenna fits like a glove and is doing a good job, even sitting here on my kitchen table.

So far, I'm pleased (and somewhat relieved) that I'm actually hearing some local police activity.
So there doesn't appear to be too much encryption around here yet. But time will tell.

I have installed ProScan and am in there tweaking :)
The remote control feature is awesome with the hit list etc.

Lake, Geauga, Portage, no encryption. Trumbull Police, Mahoning, Akron, Strongsville, North Royalton, have encryption.
Noted, thanks.
I'm in Twinsburg (Summit) and am hearing Twinsburg/Reminderville police and neighboring towns Macedonia/Northfield/Sagamore Hills, Hudson and Solon/Glenwillow (Cuyahoga) OK so far.
According to the database, Twinsburg police Ch.2 is partially encrypted and most of the Summit county sheriff channels are encrypted.

I just plugged my rooftop FM broadcast band vertical dipole antenna into my SDS100 and it is working surprisingly well for my local P25 reception! Now I can listen in the basement while I'm working.
I do have an HPN-30118 FM block filter on there as well. This really helps with Airband.
