Thanks for all of this information. (I now realize that I will need a radio other than my little HomePatrol-1 in order to continue listening to the S.D. Zoo’s radio traffic.) I did a little research and the MD-380 sounds like it will meet my needs providing it can be programmed for what I want it to do. I am not a licensed HAM and do NOT plan to use it to transmit. I would want it programmed so that it will not transmit if accidentally keyed. Also, if I’m monitoring the Zoo’s frequencies, I would want my radio to be completely invisible to their system and programmed so that it won’t “hand-shake” or acknowledge any commands from them. As someone who is easily intimidated by modern technology, I would feel better having someone who knows what they’re doing program my “zoo” radio for me. If I were to buy an MD-380 locally, could the dealer program it to meet my requirements? If so, can anyone recommend a reliable dealer and/or DMR scanner programmer?
