Encrypted Area
 Encryption means certain frequencies are blocked & can't be monitored under any scenario.
Â
There are 2 types of encryption:
- PARTIALÂ encryption
- Example: SWAT team, FBI, narcotics, etc.
- Use: Most areas have partial encryption
- FULL encryption
- Example: 100% of Pennsylvania State Police are encrypted
- Use: Few areas in the US have full encryption
Â
There are no scanners available that can monitor encryption; there are no tricky loopholes to work around full encryption*.
Â
If your area has partial encryption there are still plenty of channels you can listen to—just not encrypted channels.
