digital

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?

Okay I have been looking all day and have not been able to find a thread that is simular to my question. I just got my new Uniden BCD996XT scanner today. I have been able to program conventional channels and a motorola trunking system with no problem. However, I have no idea where to start...

From the very top of GA. Towns county has just invested in the Kenwood NexEdge system.Right now they are still using the Analog side. WHEN they go to the digital side there are NO SCANNERS that will currently recieve the Kenwood NexEdge digital signal. Is any manufacturer (like Uniden) working...

Did they go digital along with the EMS or is it scrambled? Same freq just the hammer noise? Thanks for any info. Joey

Having lived in Siloam Springs for a number of years, and driving through several times a month, I have noticed that I am no longer able to receive police or fire transmissions from them. Have they changed frequencies, or have they gone to a digital format? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a BCT15X and have been very happy with it. I had thought about getting a BCD996XT I was curious to know how I can find out if digital radio is used in my area. (as that seems to be the main differences between the BCT15X and the BCD996XT) Is there any particular indications that I should...

So I just found out that Centre county Pa is going digital by march 2011. This is going to be good for the people that use the radios however for those of us that like to hear whats going on it is going to be a real pain having to buy new scanners. So here is the question, What "digital"...

As posted a couple of days ago by kd8x, Wytheville Division 4 sites are working. Today the VSP STARS office officially announced that STARS is operational statewide. All LMR repeater sites are up, however VSP acknowledges spotty coverage in most counties in Division 4, and state agencies are...

Just starting to shop for a good mobile antenna. Will used be with my RS Pro 106 while in my personal vehicle. Probably will be mounted on the trunk lid, unless I can find something low profile enough that it does not stick out like a sore thumb on the roof. My vehicle is a 2007 Honda Accord so...

Just decided to make one topic to cover a couple things with Boyd County radios. A couple weeks ago, some stuff happened that I was put in the BRJDC and I'm out now, but while I was there, most of their processes and those with the BCDC involved a lot of radio traffic. I had my scanner set to...

I've been scanning conventional systems with my ham gear for a long time. Now that Tacoma has moved to a trunking system, I'm interested in purchasing a dedicated scanner. I do most of my scanning mobile, and I'm really interested in location-based scanning, so I've been looking at the Uniden...

Citizens with older model scanners in their homes may have noticed a dead silence late in 2009 when the Federal Communications Commission mandated an upgrade in standards. .... In order to listen to the new frequencies, people would have had to buy scanners that range in the $500 range, or try...

I'm interested in buying a digital scanner and was wondering what would people recommend and why? I had a Uniden BCD 396T a few years ago and it had poor reception or digital decode of the LAPD. It may have been due to the antenna used and/or older firmware... I had that scanner 4 years ago and...

I monitor Greensboro PD (digital)using a BC996T. Over the past two (2) weeks or so, the scanner locks on what sounds like an open carrier at various times on the dispatch, information, and sometimes tac channels. This lasts up to a minute. I haven't done anything differently as far as...

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 was listening to some amateur radio guys talking today and one said next year all Lee County radio traffic will be digital and encrypted...first I've heard of this & since a lot of what I hear on ham repeaters is myths, I figured I'd post here to find out the real deal...

Hi Guy, Long time listener, first time call you can say. It has been years since I owned a scanner and from what I read the game has changed. I am interested in getting a new scanner but not sure where to start. I used to enjoy listening to Brick Pd but from what I hear they are now encripted...
