APCO25 is not the name of a radio, it's a modulation / trunking scheme. What is the name of your radio?

hi ya

located in the big easy (new orleans)unfortunallyi,m ready to move.

New Orleans is a blast during Mardi Gras and the scanner traffic is non-stop. Thankfully, not much of Louisiana is not using APCO-25 or worse OpenSky digital systems, making monitoring rather easy.


I hope your next city is fun to monitor also.

hi

well, jefferson and a couple of other citys are digital thats the reason i got it but the city of new orleans is edac right now and ya right a lot of stuff going on every night,and new orleans is suppose to go to provoice when i do not know but ,the thing is i enjoy haveing this scanner and my other one because i put them on different channels to listen,but if your a tourist beware ,and the river i listen to because my farther works the river and i like to listen to him when hes on his shift thats why i asked how to put vhf,uhf in the radio

 

[Thunderbolt]

Very interesting! I had completely forgotten about New Orleans plans to upgrade to ProVoice. I am sure that when this takes place, many scanner listeners will very sad. However, I am hoping that in the future Uniden will release a new scanner that will include M/A-COM's OpenSky and ProVoice formats.

I am getting ready to buy a Uniden BC 250D and the one area I want to scan has gone to the APCO 25 system, which I guess is 3600 baud. Will I have to but the digitial card too? :?

 

[rdale]

If you want to hear it then yes. But before buying I'd make sure it's a 3600 baud system or it'll be a waste of $

This is for Montgomery CO, MD Police.

Don't. I was in the same boat, and before I ordered, the BC296D came out, for less cost and more capability! It does 9600 baud digital (APCO 25), and comes with the digital card (extra on the 250D).

 

[jsbelljr83]

Oooop's. too late, I got the scanner and the card is on the way. :shock: Oh well, I am going to hold on to it, I bought an Icom IC-R2 and loved it, but can no longer use it where I work.

montgomery county is a 9600 Motorola type II system with P25 capabilities. It is compatiable with the other trunked systems in the area, ie Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax Co. etc
