I was going to purchase my first scanner so I set out to learn all I can about the technology and which brands are well known for their scanners. I then learn about Trunking and that Cecil County is moving to one of these types of systems, but I am getting mixed messages on weither or not I can listen into these transmissions.
I was looking into purchasing either the Uniden BCT15 or BCT8 scanner. If I purchase one of these scanners will I be able to listen in to the trunking system? Or will I have to limit myself to listening to the re-broadcast on the frequencies listed in the thread on here about the change?
My main motivation for wanting to purchase a scanner, like many people, is the ability to listen into all the happenings around you through the Police, Fire and EMS but if I can not listen due to the new system, then there isn't much of a reason for me to spend the $200 for a scanner.
Sorry if I sound lost, because I am very confused with trying to learn all the technology and purposes of a scanner.
