Kenneth Fowler, a past guest several times over, is today\\u2019s guest on the podcast.

Kenneth and I discuss how encryption has changed his scanning habits.

His local police and fire have encrypted, but this has not stopped Kenneth from enjoying the scanner radio hobby.

Today, Kenneth shares how he is scanning other agencies to gather the same information he would have received if he was listening to police or fire.

Our conversation fall back to what I like to say: We don\\u2019t thow out our TV\\u2019s because our favorite show is now has been cancelled.\\xa0 We find other things to watch on the TV.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The same should hold true of scanning.\\xa0 Just because our favorite agency has encrypted, it doesn\\u2019t mean there isn\\u2019t anything else left to listen to on our radios.

What You Need To Know

• The fact that Kenneth\\u2019s 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\\u2019s 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.
