I think you mean Re-Banding. As the band is already in place, its being
re-defined. 

Re-Banding does not apply in his situation, as he can hear the system fine
and occasionally they use Encryption. 

Scrambling and Encryption are different devices. Years ago a few companies
made low end modules that would allow a 2-way to use voice inversion, or
scrambling. Encryption is a higher level of protecting the communications.
It requires the user to have the proper key to decode the info. 

As another emailer stated, decoding Encrypted transmissions is illegal. 

 

So your not doing wrong as far as scanner wise, your picking up normal
traffic on the TRS, so the scanner is working, unfortunately theres nothing
that can be done scanner wise to monitor those communications.

Check to see if PBCSO has gone to 'banding' of frequencies...as they have
here in Rockdale County (GA). If they have, your BD250D...even with the
apco24 card...is now useless for use on PBCSO transmissions. Uniden has a
web site that has a list of scanners that are now useless on banded
frequencies.

SCANNING palm beach county, florida sheriffs department

sometimes I hear scrambling of conversion on my bc250d. I have the apco25
card installed. Is there anyway to decode these scrambled speech broadcasts?
I had a radio in the past that had a speech descrambler board that worked
with the old wireless motorola telephones and am wondering if this can be
done with these digital conversations.

Thanks
