Can you still listen to the police in 2026? In Day 6 of our 30-day challenge, we address the legality of scanning and the reality of radio encryption. In this video, you’ll learn: - The federal laws regarding listening to public safety airwaves. - What encryption actually is (the "digital padlock"). - Why many departments still choose to stay "in the clear." - What else there is to listen to if your local police go quiet. Join the Challenge: We're simplifying the scanner hobby one day at a time.

Looking for a Scanner Radio Net you can join over radio? If you aren't licensed, that's no problem either! The "Scanner Junkies" meet every Thursday at 8pm eastern US time on the TGIF DMR Network TG 1033. If you don't have a hotspot, a ham radio license, or access to TGIF, this video shows you how you can still be a part of the net. #hamradio #hamr #scannerradio #policescanner #scannerjunkies | Scanner School
