Someone who probably knows less about "scanning" emergency service frequencies than I has said that all the local (Metro Louisville) transmitters have recently (?) gone to digital broadcast equipment. Obviously if true, or even partially true, this impacts TYPE of desktop scanner used...or in...

Since I got my FCC license I've been nosing about the bands, and doing some reading here and there. I have a question, apropos my thread title: is it possible to monitor a trunking system at all with an analog receiver? From my understanding the RX/TX may be split, and they could jump around -...

On the East Texas Medical Center page (East Texas Medical Center Trunking System, Various, Texas - Scanner Frequencies) It says it's Motorola Type II SmartZone on Analog but in the news area it says everything's been changed to TxWarn. So I just want to be sure, now I would need a digital...

I did a search for denver public safety and seen the results choose denver public safety trunking. I was looking at all the info at the top. Question is will the BCT-15 or pro-164 be able to recieve these trunking systems, except the user groups with the D. I believe the D stands for digital...

Just got a Pro 164, I don't have a programming cable yet, I was expecting my old Pro 92 cable to work but it's mono, digital scanner not in the budget yet and I wanted to get back into the swing of the hobby. I read on the wiki that the county freqs are both digital and analog, but mostly...

I admit, I know nothing about scanners. The question I have is this: when i"m looking at a particular county, (Merrimack for example) how do I determine what channels are digital and which ones are analog?

Those in the Detroit Metro area know that the area has switched to digital, except Dearborn. Can anyone tell me if there is a single scanner that can monitor both at the same time. I have business in 4 metro cities and would like to get a single mobile scanner. Any suggestions on a scanner...

I scanned pretty heavy in the 90s and then after 9/11 things began to change toward digital where I live. After that I moved several times and again became hindered by digital. I'm planning to purchase a Digital--but can I still get some use out of the old radios? What are your suggestions?

I just got a 396xt that was preprogrammed for my county. I am new to digital scanners but have had analog ones for years. When I scan it seems to only pick up the digital ones that were preprogrammed. However I believe they preprogrammed even the analog channels too. I cannot find anywhere...

Ok....my parents used to have an old scanner that bit the dust a few years ago. Thought I'd replace it as my Mom has said she wished she had one again... and would enjoy the local police / EMS / Weather, stuff...I live in Florida So this whole thing turns out to be a little more complicated...

I just got my Tech license and have been looking for my 1st rig. I've been trying to find a used solid-state HF transceiver for $250 including everything (ie. mic, manual, power supply, shipping, etc.). But that's proving to be impossible. So I started looking at older rigs. Being new, I...

Hearing rumor of Guadalupe county going digital. Can anyone confirm or deny? Also, what are your thoughts of changing from analog to digital? Kingsbury4266

Hey everyone. I'm cBas, and I've been quietly lurking here since I bought my BCD 396T in 07. I'm also a news reporter for 2 radio stations in the Bay Area, and I'm working on a news series called The Other Digital Transitions. I've covered digital radio (the commercial aspect), analog CABLE...

Hey folks, this is my first time posting a thread on this forum (after having nearly exhausted the Search Function), and I have a very important decision to make in regards to a scanner. I asked for a Scanner for Christmas, as my Great Uncle has been deep into the field for a long time now, and...
