Re: CBS News Detroit
Haven't most cities gone digitally encrypted and you can't listen to them anymore? I also assumed that this is why scanner radio sales fell drastically.
Re: CBS News Detroit
Sales fell drastically also because digital scanners that can copy trunking systems cost $350-$600 and can't decode encrypted police comms. No all public safety is encrypted, so some jurisdictions' fire/EMS/routine police etc. are listenable using a traditional scanner or SDR.
Re: CBS News Detroit
I was sad as a little kid when I found out that cities started using trunked systems and how much trunked scanners were. I think that Troy and maybe all of Oakland was the first that I remember.SolarMax wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2023 10:34 amSales fell drastically also because digital scanners that can copy trunking systems cost $350-$600 and can't decode encrypted police comms.

Re: CBS News Detroit
Oakland County used to run their own proprietary Opensky digital system (OakWIN) until recently transitioning over to the statewide MPSCS system. From what I can discern, police communication are still encrypted in Oakland County on the MPSCS system as they were on OakWIN. I am still able to monitor most other counties in the state on MPSCS using a Uniden HomePatrol-2.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.
