Howdy Y'all,
I am new to the forum and have a couple of questions for you. I am not nearly as technical savvy as most of you are so please bare with some of my simple questions. I live between North Zulch and Madisonville and monitor both the sheriff's department and the fire department on the Madison county primary channel using my old Radio Shack Pro 51 connected to an outside antenna on a 15' pole that I have been using off and on for 12 + years. I get pretty good reception from this set up and have even gotten skip from stations as far away as Mexico and Canada when the atmospherics will allow.
My first question is: does anyone know when Madison county is going digital?
My second questions is: does anyone know of a secondary frequency for Madison county shriff's dept. such as a car to car freq. Etc.
My third question is: I am considering upgrading my equipment and the two receivers I am looking at are the Uniden BCT15x and the BCD996XT. I would also be purchasing the Butel ARC-XT software for these receivers. My decision on which receiver to purchase would be based on when Madison county will be going digital. What is your opinion of these receivers?
Thank you,
Richard
