I also listen to the Michigan State Police (on my Pro 96 in Grand
Rapids MI). I've noticed that they still give out a lot of info in
the clear (a drug dealer's cell phone number, a DEA agent's phone
number, et cetera). There is ONE guy, though, who encrypts EVERY Tx he
makes. Based on the things said to him by others before and after he
Tx's, this guy has a seriously inflated sense of his own importance -
near as I can tell, nothing he says is too out of the ordinary, and the
other parts of his conversation (the other troops) are unencrypted
anyway. The noise those encrypted Tx's make would be enough to make me
give up scanning if a lot of the troops used it!
