Can one use the HT 1000, 1250, Saber, EF Johnson (and others of this type) as a scanner/monitor??
I am NOT a "NOOB" but have no experience with these types of radios, (only rat shack scanners) or their capabilities/limitations.
Please excuse the "Multiple Questions" but I would like to know the answers to the following:
Could a digital radio be used to monitor the newer P-25 (unencrypted of course!) digital networks?
Have heard they are a lot more sensitive and clearer sound:
T/F?
I would like to monitor only 1-2 departments/5-8 freeqs. Can these be programmed to monitor these frequencies, and can TX be "disabled" (to avoid inadvertent transmitting)?
I would like to buy one, but am not sure how they are programmed i.e. who does it-me? or if it's even possible-Like I said I am unsure of their capabilities.
Finally, I listen to mostly Public Safety (police) around 150.000 to 160.000 and 450.000 to 470.000. Would one radio do both?
What is a good model (if these type of radios CAN be used?):roll:
