Seriously folks, the County and City Services should become Feed Providers. Police and other Emergency Responders could be using Their cell phones, iPads, PC's, etc instead of expensive scanners. Save Tax Money.

Save Tax Money. From what my police officer friend told me, it wouldn't matter because the new radio system used by all of the PDs and VFDs in the county have an encryption feature. You have to have another one of their radios for the transmission to decrypt the transmission.

Bend Fire and EMS and some small PD up North of us. Wish there was a plugin feature that converts to digital. But, maybe the County and Cities will save us some tax money by becoming Feed Providers. (Unless the people responsible for spending our tax money get nice things from the scanner vendors)
