Default scanning encrypted digital

Agreed. Encrypted and digital are 2 very different things. You'll find that
most local government systems that are digital are not encrypted due to the
infrastructure cost in making them encryptable. Most of the digital scanners
on the market will allow you to hear most of what you want to hear.

Hi

Does anyone know if you can scan the new encryped digital transmissions?

Just because it's digital modulation doesn't mean it's encrypted.

If people would do a bit of research, they'd see that.


If the system in question is an APCO P-25 system then encryption is built
into the system. All they need to do is program all radios with a Key.
As far as I know P-25 cant exchange keys over the air, a flay in my
opinion.
