Are there scanners available now to listen in to like PG and MC police channels? or is this no longer possible since they are trunked/encrypted?
Self program? You want Terminators? Cause that's how you get Terminators.
Sarah Connor weeps.
I use this. Also have an earlier version. Very easy to self program.

There are police scanner apps on smart phones.
many of the systems are on broadcastify.com Not the same as a scanner , but a lot less hassle. With the trunked systems, you may have to update frequency and talk group assignments anytime the system owner changes something. The 'subscriber' radios automatically receive the updates, the casual scanner user has to do the updates himself.

Montgomery is available online on OpenMHZ. This is by far the best scanner site out there. It captures every talk group and records them so you can play back past calls. https://openmhz.com
I have the broadcastify app, doesn't provide DC or PG police, which are the main ones I want to listen to
Many jurisdictions have switched to encrypting the police channels. If that is the case, your regular uniden trunked scanner is not going to help you either. If a system is unencrypted, there is usually someone who puts it onto broadcastify.
I'll vouch for you right hear and now, Motorcoachdoug. You guided me from the old era of dedicated frequencies up to the current era of trunked scanning.:::Answering LOUD PING:::: Did someone say they need scanner help?????? Ok here it is the system that monkey is using now they will be changing very soon to a new system. If you want to get a scanner and do not need all the bells and whistles then I would recommend a Uniden BCD006P2 or a Unification G5 in the 700/800 band since it will also pick up the Phase 2 that monkey will be switching over to within the next couple of weeks. The TG's aka Talk Groups are not known yet and will have to wait until RR aka Radio Reference does post them. If and its a huge if you are computer savvy their is also SDS which stands for software defined radio which is using an SDR Dongle and several different software using Java to scan with as well. If anyone needs any help just send me PM and will give you a hand on what you want to monitor. If you need any references here ask Stoveman about me and their are also some others I have helped as well.
FYI Monkey =Montgomery County
MPD is all encrypted (except for citywide 1) so no bueno.I have the broadcastify app, doesn't provide DC or PG police, which are the main ones I want to listen to
