Pro 163/164 trunking help

[sinister6400]

I got the pro mobile version and I have been trying to program Roanoke city/county 800mhz freq into my scanner. I can't get them hear them at all. They are programed, but just cant them. I have Bedford PD in my scanner and they are 800 and I can trunk them just fine. My version is F1.01, been updated to version 1.10

looks like you will need a digital scanner to listen to the county or the city the scanners you mentioned are analog only. you will need at least a pro96 or 106 models both are hand helds

I don't follow, cause this is a triple trunking scanner. I can listen to Bedford city/county and the are on 800mhz system.

For digital transmissions (P-25) you need a digital capable scanner. For all other transmissions the Pro-163/164 will do just fine.

So, without a digital scanner, I won't be able to listen to Roanoke city/ county/ vinton, Va?
