pro 96 scanner

[zac]

My area is going digital in the near future so i hear. I have found a Pro 96 scanner that appears to be good. Any comments about it. I would like to know if it is a good scanner for digital trunking and conventional also. any comments appreciated.

The Pro-96 is a good scanner for conventional, trunked and digital systems. It's only shortcomming is that it will not trunk track in 700mhz. freqs.

Thanks for the update. What are you talking about the 700hz or somethign liek that.

What area are you going to monitor? Find your area in the database, then look for the system or system's you want to monitor. Check to see if any are in the 700mhz range, if not, the Pro-96 will work great for you. Also look and make sure your system's don't use a lot of encryption.

I went to this database could not find the 700 mhz range. I seen my state Indiana/Clinton county/ they are on Safe-T, tippecanoe county on Safe-T as backup. Both are in FM mode, I see frequency column, imput, type, license, input, description, mode. thanks Terp

The SAFE-T system appears to be a statewide system and it looks like there are no frequencies in the 700 Mhz range so you should be fine. Everything else in Clinton County appears to be analog so any scanner should work there, but the PRO-96 (or any other digital scanner) is a necessity in order to listen to the SAFE-T system since it runs in both Analog and APCO-25 (that's the digital part that you need a digital scanner for) modes.
