Cool Mototrbo
I am trying to listen to MOTOTRBO radios. The frequency is 152.4425 but I am having trouble hearing it. I have a Pro-96 digital scanner. Can anyone help me out with listening to this frequency?? I have tried Motorola mode, FM mode and all of the other modes. What am I doing wrong?

Let me rephrase his message to make it more understandable

No scanner will decode MotoTRBO transmissions. I'm not quite sure what you are asking for, it has nothing to do with the frequency range.

Try putting a DVD in a CD payer. It's "digital" so you should be able to hear it? Right?

Today's "digital" scanners are really "P25 Phase 1 Digital" receivers, not "Universal Digital" receivers.

Default Digital
There are many forms of digital radio communications. Today's digital scanners cover today's most popular digital communications which happen to be APCO-25. APCO-25 is also an Open Standard so anyone can make a receiver for it. MOTOTRBO is another type of digital communications and is not compatible with APCO-25.

There is no mode in your scanner or any other scanner that will decode MOTOTRBO.

Just out of curiosity, what type of service is it that is using MotoTrbo on 152.4425?

If you want to listen to MotoTRBO, you will have to buy a Motorola VHF TRBO capable radio and have it programmed for the TRBO freq's you wish to receive. Costly and most likely not worth that cost. I would only consider doing something like this if my local PD went to MotoTRBO, but that won't happen, they went Open Scam which is far WORSE!
