  1. There's lots and lots to listen to in uk and many hobbyist reporting freqs, yes dmr is busy but in a recent Peterborough trip by a enthusiast 100 freqs or 96 or so dmr, 2 only were enc rest were ni Ely heard on uniden scanners, me in north herts probably 50 per cent dmr, analogue only glaxo stevenage enc and intelligence training 153, 149 mhz dmr net

  2. But confused by this story as u stare December this year when whistler stopped 3 years or more in terms of ditching new scanners, no idea why they did but uniden carried on with new sets, and now we have alinco and if course we can use dmr ham radios, we can buy them without a licence all sellers sell to anyone I can order a new dmr handheld like anytone as example and use the freqs it cones with loaded, and edit to local dmr and analogue freqs, so that has probably had an effect on scanners sales as I can use my alinco to tx as well low power on 446 yes illegal buy who cares

  3. For me i love our local farm radios wee have dmr, ctcss, dcs single uk business, and repeaters in vhf pmr bands, tomorrow at our santa tractor ride will have 12 or more freqs active including stewards, security on lions on dmr and ctcss radios escorting tye ride, taking ubc3600 and uniden 160dn

  4. Publishing was never an issue in uk, not in any serious way, in fact we had radio agency at the time using proma databases as well as there own, we knew often freqs in use they didn't ie illegal users, unlicensed so our members found freqs we reported in out database and radio communications agency could see we had found unlicensed users

  5. We should be reporting users and freqs why should they be hidden we should share ofcom are even not caring about streaming freqs marine and air freqs are regularly streamed on YouTube and on zello we've had lakenheath, mildenhall for 10 years now, I can sit and listrn on scanner or zello it's great, no one cares

  6. Most dmr and nexedge are not secure, or enc, so digital is still very much good in uk

  7. Whistler dropped there new models 3 years ago since then nothing new, uniden still production new dmr, nexedge and digital scanners and now alinco as well, usa sales are differant to uk eu in usa they listrn to police mostky, In eu, UK we listrn to lots more both digital, and analog and in uk I can only say very little is encrypted outside policr etc Majority of dmr users are analogue most cctv who and pub watches, large events and sites are in the clear but yes dmr
