Hello all,

Scanning has been for me, as I'm sure it has for many of you, a great
and
fascinating hobby over the last many years.

But with such things as digital transmission, spread spectrum and
encryption
techniques becoming more and more popular and widely used every day, it
can really
only mean one thing: recreational scanning must eventually die.

From everything I can see, it won't be long before even the most
back-woods agencies
will be going all digital... as many of them already have. Sure, it may
take another
5 or 10 years (probably at most) to phase out all the old analog radio
equipment, but
phase out it will. It has to. The future of radio communication is going
digital.
It's now cheap and it's easy, and getting more so every day.

What are we scanner enthusiasts to do?

lamentfully,

Dave



Weak signal work is fun ;-)
