Thanks for reply's,

Where to start?

I have done some searching and found a freq list for Isabella county and started to input all of the freq's. Last night I was looking over the list and noticed the key's for the columns. Found that some that I had input where digital and since my scanner is analog those are not going to work. However some of them do. I am not sure if they are in the process of switching or the database in wrong, or maybe I am wrong. I noticed the jail and courthouse is digital and on my scanner I do get static transmissions, so I assume that digital is correct. MMR is listed as digital but I can hear that one. If I remember correctly CMU Police is digital but I can hear that as well.

Are there any trunks in the area? What do you recommend for mobile and base antennas? When to use attenuation? Squelch setting? Ahhh Information overload!
