I think the bored factor started to sink in lately. Sometimes you can get so wrapped into the wrap factor of scanning. Then you get your head beat into a wall because cities and counties are using heavy amounts of encryption with AES-256 technology and that's where the rubber has finally met the road.
Everybody talks about scanning for 40 years and I have been one of them and Uniden or Bearcat was always able to keep up with making a scanner from inserting crystals to an all in one radio. Then analog to digital and trunktracking to Phase I and now Phase II TDMA digital trunking.
Uniden or Whistler can't keep moving forward with the technology growth of what cities and counties are doing to their TRS. Once they implement encryption this is the brick wall and there is no way through to the next level or generations of scanning equipment.
This is the reality of where we are at this point. With federal laws in place its the end of the road.
Sure there will always be schools, and business, and taxi, and public works to listen to but how bored do you want to be listening to nothing interesting that does not make your blood pump.
