[Scan-DC] Scanner Hobby 2018

[Bill Dunn]

Encryption [aka Voice Inversion] has been on VHF Civilian Marine Channels for years [back to the 1980's]
all used to prevent other fishermen from knowing where the good catch is [ altho just follow the AIS :) ]

USCG has always had Encryption back to the LANT days [DVP/DES] and now with AES etc within the VHF/UHF P25

>Very good points Greg.  However, encryption is the biggest threat to the hobby now regardless of the type of scanner one has.  The growth of law enforcement encryption is occurring in mostly rural and semi-rural areas for now.  Heck, I have even heard it on a VHF Marine channel or two.
