I'm trying to figure out the encryption on our local Sheriffs department
400mhz public safety band, our local dispatcher goes to 100 to switch
to the encryption, it garbles the transmissions to the normal scanner
user I use 2 hand helds a Pro-93 and a Uniden BC80XLT. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

If you're in the U.S., any help to do that would be illegal.

Thank you I didn't know that.

Incorrect .... knowledge is NOT illegal, its the implementaion of such
knowledge

example --- knowing HOW to build a BOMB is not illegal, Building one
IS.

So you're saying if you advise him how to accomplish his goal, and he gets
busted by the Feds, you could not be charged as an accomplist?

I was asking for knowledge first of all because I've never heard of that
encryption before. I don't need to listen to it, I was trying to get
info on it never heard of that encryption before. Where I used to live
didn't Excrypt their traffic at all. Bill seriously take a breather.

I thought that the legality of owning unscramblers was made on a
state-by-state basis, there do you get this "Fed" crap?

It is a FEDERAL crime to 'use' a descrambler to intercept transmissions
that
are NOT your own. Hence.... if you owned a taxi cab company and wanted to
scramble your transmissions to the cars.... you can legally do it.
However
if you 'used' that descrambler/ scrambler system to intercept police or
another business transmissions you are in violation
of the law.

When did the gov't. pass this law and who enforces it?

Don't say the FCC because they only regulate transmitters, not receivers.
