Another lousy app

Yup, thanks to apps like this one more and more PD in California are switching to encrypt radios. Most departments in San Diego have switched. At the state level, the CHP in SoCal have moved channels or are moving them soon. Many more are switching at their next radio cycle update. I’ve been monitoring PD, FD, and Aviation frequencies since the mid 80’s. Most of that id going away thanks to greedy people who want to make money through their lousy apps. But soon the very thing that attracts most people to these apps—listening to FD frequencies—will be no more. Well, the biggest problem is that they are not only screwed themselves, but they are screwing everybody else, including those using scanners responsibly. I’m willing to be money than a lot of criminals. Usually stop to listen to police department to add them in evading police.
