WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Police Chanels 21 and 41 went Didgital completely last Tuesday.

41 still works but wasnt picking anything up on 21 last night

48 is almost gone too

is the digital signal encrypted? cant justify spending $900 on a digital scanner unless im going to get use out it

I'm hearing fine on 21/41 and 48/50....

I didnt catch any callsigns but this afternoon I heard an officer ask the midland channel operator if he could book on with him as "channel 21 has been closed". Sadly thats all I heard but that is definitely what was said.

Hi HEKTIK,

The amount of unencrypted channels or talk groups as its called now, is so limited its not worth spending $900.

There are powerful digital scanners available for several $k, there is no scanner available in the world that will un-encrypt the WAPolice transmissions encryption code, once they cure the hiccups, but you will not crack the encryption,that is the issue,..told from a realiable source.

Ahhhhhh never say never.

Just like we couldn't watch all the channels on foxtel for free.

Well if there are any smart (alex) out there, then get busy on cracking the Encrytion code as Ch21 has gone total didigital, A Sgnt told me today you will only hear outside cars calling Ch21, that are not yet converted.
