Am I correct in saying that union county is still mostly conventional?
Thanks Jerry
Thanks Jerry
Thank you for both of your repliesUnion Co SO and Eldo PD have both purchased and installed mototrbo repeaters last month.
They are awaiting installing the mobiles before switching it over. Both have implemented RAS but the primary dispatches are in the clear.
I don't remember the info off hand except it is on the same frequency as the current analog (PD) and nxdn (SO). IIRC it is 0/1/1 or 1/1/1.
On AWIN, Union County investigations is used so rarely it would not be worth putting it in for non affiliated scan. In lieu of, they use a MAC channel.

Hi all. I’m new to this site. I live in El Dorado. I have an old radio shack analog scanner. A few years ago all departments but the city became unavailable for me to hear (just heard a digital garble sound). This week the city channel started doing the same thing. Now I scrambling to get a digital scanner. They are pricey. I have no idea what to look for. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This site’s database still lists El Dorado as FMN but I feel that needs to be updated. The Whistler WS1040 is what I’m looking at due to price.
Well I took a trip a trip to Eldorado. Not a peep at all on any frequency or TG
I did a close call and got the typical buzzing on them. Thanks for the info.They are all on MotoTRBO. I am sitting here listening to Eldo PD, Union SO, and Eldo Fire.

I hardly ever go to Eldorado, I am trying to recover from a tornado that destroyed my place here in springhill Louisiana or I would upgrade my bcd996p2..They rarely use it but do on occasions.
Thanks for the info all. I’m new here and learning. Looks like I need a DMR capable scanner to get MotoTRBO? If I understand the info that’s a P25 phase 2 capable scanner?
And the later Whistler ones will get it for no additional fees. Not good for a DMR trunked system but single frequencies it works fine. They or the Unidens do get P25 but also these other digital modes.
Both the Eldo PD and Union County MotoTRBO (DMR) systems are conventional linked. PD & SO are not linked together.
