I have a few old out dated police radio scanners. I am thinking of buying a new trunking scanner. My main purpose would be to listen to the local police. I live in Hamilton Ontario.
Before i purchase a trunking scanner, i want to determine if it will enable me to listen to the Hamilton police. I don't know how to determine if their frequencies and mode for communication, would be open to scanner listening. i suppose I should not call them and ask.
Here is what I have been able to find on the net: Can someone tell me if a trunking scanner would work?
Thank-you
