I just wanted to thank the community here for the vast amounts of knowledge shared.
After using an SDR USB dongle to decode P25 for our local police for quite some time, I finally found a good deal on a used Whistler WS1040.
Using my premium membership has made light work of getting this scanner up and running in short order. The sharing of knowledge and the trials and tribulation of other newbies has really cut the learning curve.
Using the Arc500 software and the premium data base functions were truly a HUGE HELP in this learning curve. I strongly recommend the premium membership.
There are several things I still don't understand but I am confident I will learn them here. Things like trunking and the use of talkgroups, etc.
Thank you everyone.
