The short answer is NO - but it depends on how you define 'scanner' and 'scan'.

The scanners in your tagline will monitor the individual channels used on an MPT1327 system, but they aren't able to decode the Control Channel information.

There are no scanners currently available, that will monitor MPT1327 systems in the same manner that your scanners will monitor Motorola, EDACS, or LTR.

WinRadio has a module (software) that allows decoding of MPT1327 signals, but is it a 'scanner'?

There are also hardware/software arrangements known as FTrunk and PTrunk, but would you call them 'scanners'?

Hey there,
It looks like I am not the only person that has found a mpt system in the state have you figured out what agency etc it might be? I have linked mine to Basin electrict off of a tower in Clay County.

There are several decoders that will show the activity on the MPT1327 systems and are free (and they work).
Unitrunker (forum here) and Trunkview (search Yahoo Groups)
Both will control a computer controllable scanner, do some research online as how to hook each up. I have success feeding them from the speaker rather than from discriminator.

MPT1327 is fairly slow data and doesn't really need a "discriminator tap" to work well with PC-based decoding

[Unitrunker]

That's true. For those systems that inject a sub-audible tone on the control channel, using speaker audio - instead of unfiltered discriminator audio - will produce better results.

ok
well on mine the control channel is 452.6500 but on Trunkview it says 420 so can anybody explain how this works

[morfis]

You need to set up a "site" entry for your system so it knows what the channel plan is for the specific system.

Unitrunker is probably better for a new user. Otherwise, you would probably need to join the Trunkview Yahoo Group and (after searching the archives of course) ask the question there.

Hello from France,

Last year , i asked to Uniden Europe the availability of such scanners . The answer was NO . Just a question of numbers of scanners sold in Europe !! (not enough)

Uniden succeded in APCO25 scanner , they could do TETRA also !!
