Pulled over for antennas

Scanners... around here they have all switched over to the Harris P25 digital system which is encrypted and cannot be scanned with any conventional scanner. I have several trunk tracker scanners that are useless now. Happened last August.

They are honestly digital here, but using SDR# and some software on Windows, you can decrypt it pretty easily, and it does work rather well, but I use that in the house off the attic antenna, since I don't feel like lugging a laptop in my car, then it may just in fact look too much like a cop which is clearly not my intent.

I need to research it further. From what I understand (which ain't much!) there are two modes those can operate one being highly encrypted.
