Hello all,
I'm in SE PDX and just dug out the old analog trunking scanner. Can you all confirm that in the older RR post shown below, that at this time my old analog trunking scanner will only be able to get the list Portland talk groups, and not the other listed Clackamas, Clark, and Washington County analog talk groups?
And I assume the Portland analog is also going away very soon?
Time for me to get a digital P25 Phase 2 scanner in PDX?
Any suggestions on best scanner brands and models to ensure compatibility with digital phase 2 rollout?
Thanks,
Scott
