[TrunkCom] need help with making a scanner purchase decision

[Dave]

Click on this site. It states Monroe County is supposed to be 
operational in early 2013. It shows one site with all 700mhz frequencies 
but no talk groups yet called "North Monroe County Simulcast" 
Unfortunately I can not help answer your question about scanners that 
work with screen reading software. About encryption almost every new 
system is being delivered with that option, depending on the contract 
involved. Usually encryption is determined by the agency's that use the 
system once it becomes operational. Harris also promotes voice 
transmissions that can not be monitored by any scanner. RR link claims 
voice will be "common Apco 25 interface" which should be able to 
monitor. My guess it will be sometime before this system is operational.
