Pro 2055

Does the Pro 2055 work on narrow band frequencies. I don't seem to be hearing voice on listings FMN in the database.

Hi 10_8_Comm welcome to RadioReference

Your scanner should be able to get NFM , in fact that should be it's default for the VHF,UHF bands.

Put up a link for what you were trying to monitor and see if we can figure it out.

The Wiki is your friend.

Modulation Methods - The RadioReference Wiki

NFM - Narrowband FM (called FM on most scanners) -- is used on most current analog public safety communications and the total deviation is generally limited to 30 KHz down to about 12 KHz.

NFM = Narrow FM; FMN = FM Narrow

The PRO-2055 will work on Narrow FM frequencies. When you try to program some frequencies, the scanner will round them to the nearest frequency it knows. But you should still be able to hear what you programmed for. One thing however, if the FM signal being broadcast is not using as "wide" of a channel as the scanner expects, it will sound quieter.
