I haven't been following the various digital systems as I really don't have
any here in the NYC area.  I hear Suffolk County PD with some digital
talkgroups but I don't know if they are just in a digital mode or encrypted.
Now I know that the new scanner won't pick up encrypted comms or iDen
technology but exactly what will it pick up?  (Digital comms)  I know down
by my in-laws in Florida the Florida Highway Patrol went digital as well as
Boca Raton PD...will these depts be able to be received on these new
scanners?  Is there a list somewhere on the Internet that lists all the
departments that have gone digital?  Like I said before right now there
isn't much in the way of digital in the NYC area but I'd like to be ready
for when it does come around here!  Thanks for any info.
