What's the difference between
Bearcat Trunktracker 2 Bearcat Trunktracker 3 Bearcat Trunktracker 4
Any help would be great. I'm just trying to find out which is the best one and the difference between each. They're top notch I know that.

Well there is no reason to have a scanner really.
Where I'm at only 2 channels (frequency on the scanner) are open and can be heard on a scanner, the others are (kypto) encrypted channels.
Unless you want to hear about domestic violence or someones info being read over the radio? If you are interested in anything other than that you're SOL unless you steal a cops radio and learn their 10 codes
I'm pretty sure that narc units maintain radio silence from briefing to execution, so really I can't think of what you'd be able to do with one

I had a portable scanner when I was 17 at a friends house party. We were worried about the neighbors calling the cops because one of them saw someone hitting a bowl in the back yard. I listened intently to the scanner and heard that the police were headed to my friends address in response to a complaint. It gave us just enough time to hide all illegals and move some people out before they arrived. Nobody got arrested that night. There is some use to them. My dad got me into them since he always had one.
Nowadays though, most, if not all of the police bands are encrypted. I no longer have a scanner but the one I used to have no longer picked up and police or fire bands in my area. Only thing it would pick up was cordless phone calls.

"Trunking" is a word borrowed from the telephone system to describe a large number of users sharing a much smaller number of communication paths.

It is against federal law for anyone to sell a scanner that decrypts encrypted communications. The Uniden company and their Bearcat Trunktracker technology does not decrypt any communications.
Trunktracking means to track or scan certain groups of communication, nothing about trunktracking means decrypting communications.
Quote:
The Bearcat BC-245XLT features second generation TrunkTracking II technology. When the service you are listening to jumps frequency, the BC-245 has the ability to follow the signal. You won't miss any of the action. Even copies Motorola and EDACS simulataneously. The Multi-Track feature tracks multiple trunked and conventional banks at the same time. Trunk Scan and Scan Lists scans for activity on one trunk group or create lists of multiple groups to scan. Trunk Search search for and monitor all groups within a trunked system. Trunk Lockout lets you lock-out groups you don't wish to monitor.

suppose said chip doesn't decyrpt the communications but supplies you with a simple encryption key, or list of possible encryption keys
brute force?
that's not quite as illegal eh?
