I feel like a complete idiot. I listened to scanners for 20 years before they all went digital... I'm a Ham Operator... And yet now I'm completely lost....
Anywho...
I have a Pro-106 scanner. A lot of my local police departments are on the P25 system, and I'm not sure how to put them all in my scanner... Here's the relevent parts of the line from the DB here for one such Police Dept:
From what I can tell, This dispatch is the ONLY thing on this frequency (which makes me wonder why they even bothered?), so how would I put that in my scanner? Do I have to create a TSYS entry with that frequency as the control frequency, and then create a TGRP on group 117 to listen to them? Or would I just create a conventional (CONV) object on that freq and set the SQ mode to P25 and the SQ code to 117? Or have I completely overthought it and should be doing it another way entirely?
