Honestly, the easiest way is to use software such as Butel which can pull right from the RR database if you have a premium subscription.

It's well worth it. Failing that, here are some videos from a Google search.

Welcome to the hobby!

OPP--the 15X is not able to decode digital so unless you are in Simcoe near the Beat Repeater you are out of luck. You will only get a bit of local stuff off the Beat Repeater.

Fire--looks like you should be good from what I see in the database

EMS--the 15X will be great for Fleetnet and listening to EMS and MTO Maintenance
