Encryption? No Problem! with Kenneth Fowler

Our conversation fall back to what I like to say: We don’t thow out our TV’s because our favorite show is now has been cancelled.  We find other things to watch on the TV.    The same should hold true of scanning.  Just because our favorite agency has encrypted, it doesn’t mean there isn’t anything else left to listen to on our radios.

What You Need To Know

• The fact that Kenneth’s local fire and police have encrypted has not stopped him one bit from enjoying the hobby itself.
• Kenneth is still buying scanner radios to listen to more frequencies in his area.
• If you want to know what’s happening in your neighborhood, sometimes you might have to expand the parameter, says Kenneth.
• Sometimes your local town or city runs its utility department which could clue you into down power lines or displaced fire hydrants.
• The other aspect of the hobby is immersing yourself in the RF spectrum. You learn all about propagation when you start doing the shortwave.
• Secrets are in the searches. You never know what else is out there until you start seeking them out.
• There are things out there to listen to that are not encrypted special in a busy metropolitan area.
