I just recently purchased the 885 and so far I’m very pleased with it. The question I have is currently I am sitting in Wilmington, Illinois which is District 5 for ISP. I’m watching and listening to it on the scanner app on phone, but not hearing anything except occasional fire on the 885. ?? I have everything enabled for scanning all 4, police, fire, ambulance, and DOT. My concern and question is, am I not able to hear everything transmitted by ISP and the local police as I travel through Illinois? I know listening to all districts of Chicago PD would be a little overwhelming but I’m ok with that. I do a lot of inner city driving and like to know what’s going on. Now this doesn’t only go for Chicago and Illinois. Hoping it'll work well in all major cities and for state police. I have scanned threads for the past few hours trying to find out as much as I can about it’s limits, but most is older posts. I seen where it was figured out how to edit the sd card but I am not even going to attempt to try that lol. I just want to get the best I can out of it and find someone that can help me with the database and I understanding how it scans police and state. Thanks.
