Hello,
I'm totally new to trunk systems and Digital scanners. Are there any videos or books out there that would help me understand how to use my new PRO-197. I see the letters PRO is in the model name so I am not yet qualified to use this thing. I live in Orange County, CA and seem to have trouble picking up digital broadcasts. I suspect that the broadcasts are encrypted. The other day I picked up a signal via scanning and it was P25, but the audio sounded garbled. I suspect I am too far from the window and I sandwiched between two over passes.
I had to upgrade from my PRO-2016; which when living in Ventura County, it was quite enjoyable. Thank you Radio Shack. Now if they can start putting their name back on those Sangean radios, I would be in sweet home Radio-wave city.
