Hi,
I'm so glad I found this forum before I totally lost my mind! I'am living in Somerset County,Maryland,which have recently gone into 800MHz trunked EDACS system. Others like the sheriff & local pd have gone digital.I rushed out and bought the radio shack pro96 and do not have a clue as to what to do with it.I'm so used to using the old scanners that you just enter the frequency and you hear it.I feel so stupid!! I have tried to follow the instructions in the manual but still don't hear anything but those loud control channels.I have scanned all the police/fire bands and can't find anybody,digital or otherwise.Can someone please email me or post some EASY step by step instructions for a IDIOT like me to try and comprehend!I have most all of the frequencies that they use but am not sure of the order they need to be in.I NEED HELP SOON !! I'm already tempted to give up and take this back to radio shack.We just want to hear out local police-fire ambulance!!!
Thanks so much for any expert advice !!
