Can I still listen to police scanners in Maryland?
FCC license data only. We haven't confirmed police radio encryption anywhere in Maryland yet. From FCC license data (24 counties): it differs by county: some have mostly analog licenses, others mostly digital licenses. Licenses show analog or digital, not encryption, so there's no Yes or No here until we confirm a place. Check your county or city below.

How the state answer works: we combine the answers of the counties we've checked and the cities we've confirmed. If they all agree, the state gets that answer; if they disagree, it shows “Partly”. With none checked, the map uses FCC license data the same way (analog, mixed or digital per county, lighter colour), labelled “based on FCC license data, not yet confirmed”. How we check
