Looking for an updated list of the codes used by THP. The list I found says nothing about Code 4 etc... Thanks!
Is TACN what Grangier Co. TN uses? I just got a new scanner WS1040 from Whistler and man how things have changed! I had a Pro89 from RS for fifteen years and it just all broke at once. Battery cover broke and then the ant came apart so I guess it was time. If THP operates at 770 MHz, and an old TV can go to channel 64, can they be heard on an old TV? Cool username by the way lolSome usage has changed for some agencies though most of those codes are still valid. Knox County is preparing to go to TACN, most likely over this next year. they have an agreement with Motorola to install an TACN Core in Knoxville, thus adding an 3rd Zone, and then when the Middle TN Regional TRS is completed, using the Nashville Core, which will be then upgraded and converted to TACN there will be 4 Zones total. The 4th also tied into the TVA TRS.

No an TV can not pick up 700 MHz P25 Trunked Systems. For more info on the newer radio systems in use, and good info over all check out the wiki! Main Page - The RadioReference Wiki

Technically, he's right. IF the tv could receive UHF 60+ on the old band plan, it would potentially be able to pick it up. Problem is that it wouldn't be able to decode it, or follow channel grants, etc.
It would be funny as hell if someone built a scanner with like seven old console tv receivers and a laptop with some sort of interface....
