Nah mate, it's not possible. Encrypted comms are exactly that. Encrypted.
IIRC every radio on the network is given an encryption key (seperate to the
radio ID), and this key then only allows the specific radios to decode the
comms. No scanner at all is capable of this. And also IIRC, you would be
breaking the law being able to eavesdrop an encrypted conversation anyway.
Technically, encrypted comms are supposedly uncrackable, but I recall
reading an article about a couple of blokes who managed to crack it. I think
it was something like 24 hours of number crunching with a computer in order
to crack the encryption key. Not exactly real time... I'm sure one of the
experts could explain it better though.

Is there any mod or upgrade etc that will let you scan and encrypted
talkgroup on the PRO96. The manual says that it isn't possible. I live in

an
area where a service has changed to a fully encrypted APCO25 digital

trunked
service but some comms are still transmitted in unencrypted digital. My
scanner won't pick up the talkgroup to hear the clear comms though - is
there any way of doing this or even another scanner on the market that

will
let me?

Richard.
