Is there much out there that can be converted to readable english with
an advanced decoder? My dated experience with the PK232MBX was that
there wasn't much beyond weather stuff and that was disappearing. I've
heard that most of the digital stuff is encrypted and unreadable.


Well, I guess POCSAG and FLEX for a few examples.

So tell me about what you are hearing (or reading) in the VHF/UHF
range. Anything that can be translated to readable english?


See above for 2 possibilities

Yeah, the good old days of decoding news, diplomatic stuff, russians,
ship-to-shore traffic, etc., in TDM, FDM (yes!) TOR and all the other
interesting modes are pretty much gone.

Darnity darn.

I need to hit the mailing lists to see if this part of my beloved hobby is
done for!
