i just obtained a bc60xlt-1 from my uncle. i have tried entering frequences but always get an error. i think it is because my town and nearby towns are all digital. i live in montville, nj. im not sure if i should have but this in the NJ section but can anyone confirm this?searching says yes but i would like to make sure. thanks.
bc60xlt-1 not good enough for my area(NJ)?

Are these frequencies 800mhz? If so, that's why you are getting the error. That scanner only covers up to 512mhz.
i am not sure. how do i find that out? i just tried plugging in frequencies from http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?ctid=1784
Looks like the County is on a trunked system so you won't be able to listen to them with that scanner. The frequencies for Montville Township appear to be conventional UHF so you should be able to listen to them. Looks like the police dispatch uses APCO-25 digital so you won't be able to hear them, even though your scanner will pick up the frequency. To get everything in the county, you will need a digital scanner.
This question would be better off in the New Jersey forum, you would get better answers there. Maybe a moderator/admin could move it there.
