Default Bct2

I have a bct2 circa 1980's that I was thinking of installing in my car. Now I know I can't monitor much since its a pre programmed scanner and its also not digital. But I'm curious as to with narrow banding if I can still monitor analog police frequencies with this radio

Some, probably. The audio will be a little less than what it normally is, since it's a little off the frequency it's used to scanning.

Remember that the pre-programmed frequencies are circa 1980s too, and have probably changed.

I don't think there are too many agencies operating with the same systems they had back in the 1980s.

That is true however the system I want to monitor is still analog so I'm hoping it will still work
