Scanner Query?? Digital ?? Victoria

[Shoofty_As]

Hi peoples,

I know there is mixed opinions on scanner usage listening to the cops etc.. I'de like to lay this down first.. I listen to my scanner of a night time when I go to bed, If i'm bored or need a it of background noise, there is some interesting things that happen that you just can't read about or see on the news. But lately to my shock horrror I've since been informed that Victoria Police are following the trend or going "digital" ... (hence me not receiving anything on my old scanner no More doh !)

I'm not a scanner geek and hence don't really care for all the hoo har and technological B**L ****e, I"m just Curious on who's done the change over and purchased a new "digital" scanner, whats the cheap way of doing this and if this digital move will ever go encrypted (another word I don't fully undersatnd) is it even worth while??? I've had my trusty scanner for years and never really got sick of it.. I'm kinda missing it now... all i get is the stuff i don't listen to...

Anywaiz.. what do you'se all reckon?
