[ScanIndiana] Digital scanning in the future

Wed, 17 Apr 2002 17:23:32 -0500

If it's anything like my digital phone, it's a step backwards...  I run my
phone (Motorola Star-Tac) in Analog mode as often as I can because the sound
quality is better...

Subject: [ScanIndiana] Digital scanning in the future

  I was reading some of the archives on this mailing list and there was a
gentlemen that said the new digital trunked systems will probably all be
encrypted in the future. No, I don't think this will happen. For one thing
all police agencies scan and monitor other police agencies, kinda like the
State Police will use a scanner to monitor traffic from other police
agencies
around them,  like county or city police. The only digital system that will
go full encryption in the future will be the Nextel system. The Nextel
system
is a very expensive trunked system that will be used by government law
enforcement agencies like the FBI and AFT. It is a National Security Radio
System. The FBI and other government agencies has always used encrypted
radios. Just because our common law enforcement agencies like City Police
and
Sheriff Departments are going digital does not mean they are going to go
encrypted. If they wanted to go encrypted they would have did it a long time
ago. They are going digital because it will give them better improvement in
their reception on their radios. You know when you are listening to an
analog
800 MHz trunked system and the modulation on the mobiles sounds weak and
also
you have those cracking sounds within the carriers, well the digital systems
will improve this.
