Police going digital

Post by jmmw »

how many people here are actually prepared for the change to digital?

when it does happen what will we need to do to continue scanning police channels?

You won't be able to. The system is encrypted.

Is it going to be encrypted straight away though? I thought the police in other states have been using digital for a while now, but without encryption?

If it's simple then why would the Police go for it?
