That's not a half bad idea. The other half.... well...
1) For the 1 millionth time: No scanner will ever be able to decode encrypted radio traffic.
2) I am sure that P25 Phase 2 TDMA in a scanner will happen in the future.

If a scanner could decrypt, why would agencies encrypt?
Just my THEORY but it is because there is currently no scanner on the market that will do Encryption some day someone should make a scanner that will unencrypt signals UNless it is some gov. rule that says they can't make a scanner for montoring an Encrypted signal
It is illegal to decrypt encrypted transmissions.
End of story. Will never happen in a commercially avalable scanner.

Illegal for the public. 😀
That was the answer i was looking for not surprising. someday a scanner maker will petition the gov to make it legal and sell a subscription to un encrypting a signal POSSIBLE in the future
Don't hold your breath on that.

Yep Mule i'll agree, I sometimes don't understand why.. like when our dispatch is running a 29 or something like that they need to Encrypt 20 some years ago you'd hear it in the clear. Or if the Unit possibly had a computer they'd send it Via that way
I hear stuff when i monitor every once in while in the near by County that would put 29's that are dispatched here in our County to shame but when that County Goes digital Soon that sometimes good stuff that you hear will probably go Away.!
Taken in all that..
I'd say the best way for you to listen to Encrypted Radio ke4crc And i'm not trying to be a Wisenheimer.. Is too
Take some college Courses on Law, Pass them, then Apply as a Law officer that's what got not to long ago when i asked one of Our Local S.O.'s that i know about a Question on encryption.. he said it in a politely but firmly kind of way so i kind figured it was best to change the subject.

It is truly amazing how stupid and thickheaded so many people are on this site that can't seem to grasp this simple and fundamental concept. I've been to a million forums of all kinds but this site makes me feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

OHMYGOD You've been on this site since 2007 and you didn't know that it is illegal to decrypt an encrypted transmission? I've only been on here for a few months and I already knew that.
Oy, here we go again...

Who's got the popcorn popping for the evening?
I would like have the ability to listen to UFO radio traffic. Lots flying saucers up there and yet my digital box is quiet. BTW another new setting would be good to have is that the SYS ID be put into trunking data in the database. Therefore large statewide systems that overlap frequencies with an adjacent state one does not have to delete sites if there is an adjacent state system that shares a common freq or two but has a different SYS ID. I know this could be solved with GPS. I'm a user who doesn't use this feature.

I would also like to see some kind of bluetooth option and date and time options on the display with out having to have gps or anything.
The new uniden should have a computer built in that will run DSD or other programs that will allow reception of traffic that you need a liscense to have in your radio.
Where did you come up with that info?
LED's draw way more power than LCD.
Now if you are thinking LED lamps verse incandescent lamps, then that is true but LCD displays draw next to nothing in power.
If what you said were true, the old Timex LED wristwatch would still be the watch to have.
What draws the power for an LCD screen is... the LED backlighting and in rare cases, incandescent backlight lamps but those are rare today. That is why most portable radios give the option to turn off or dim the backlights, to conserve battery power. The LCD display is still running even when the backlights are off in most cases. Some devices do have low power or sleep modes which also turn off the LCD display and its driver circuits but I doubt the power savings are very great.
LED is hard to see in bright sunlight while LCD needs a backlight in dark areas but can be seen just fine in bright environments with no backlighting at all.
What I would like to see is a fully variable attenuator instead of the fixed level attenuators offered today as well as built in switchable notch filters for the common paging bands. That combination would help those in urban areas with high levels of RF.

2 antenna inputs. Would be nice to be able to hook up a dedicated 800mhz antenna on one input, and a multi-band 2m/70cm/? on the other. I'd use the RH77CA and RS 800mhz antenna when portable. At home, I'd use the RS 800 and a base antenna for other frequencies.
