Hello, I’m hoping someone can help with a question I have. I’m a bit of a novice so take it easy on me.
I was using a Baofeng UV-5R as a scanner to get the Aurora Police Department on 159.13500 but they switched to the new MARCS IP system and now I hear nothing on 159.13500.
I found this link –
Ohio MARCS IP: Portage County Radio IDs - The RadioReference Wiki ?
and it references the Aurora PD as RID- 6790270 and RID- 6790271.
Are there any Baofeng’s that will pick up these new channels? Also, what range is this 700Mhz?
I’m just looking for a cheap alternative to a scanner since I’m only interested in one channel and I’m close to the tower.
Thanks
