Programming Help Pro-162

[crustyjeff]

Hello, I recently purchased a PRO-162. I have begun programing but I dont know that I am getting it right. I'm getting lots of beeps and really only the tail end of transmissions.

Anyways, I am looking for someone in the Denver area who can help me get this right.

I would like to setup Denver Police/EMS, State patrol Denver to Vail, CDOT

Thanks,
Jeff

The PRO-162 will not track the Denver EDACS system as they enabled the ESK protocol earlier this year. The same goes for the Lakewood and Wheatridge systems as well.

State Patrol, CDOT and practically all agencies in the metro area are on the state DTRS system wich is P25 digital and the PRO-162 is not digital capable. The exceptions being Aurora, Arvada and Westminster which are standard EDACS which the 162 will track.

In order to hear any of the agencies mentioned in your post you will need a PRO-106 digital scanner which is on sale for $299.99 till Christmas. See this thread about the current sale http://www.radioreference.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127481
