Hi their i just recently got back into the scanning hobby and have a couple questions..
1.i am wondering if my scanner is capable of trunking the project-25 , if so which option do i choose E2800 , E2900 etc..
2. I am a little new to the trunking concept, how do i program 2 seperate trunking options..I do know they have to go on seperate banks, but when i go to monitor the banks seperately it only picks up the very first trunking system i put in...I live in windsor ontario, i have the city trunk as in fire and police...but i am trying to program the bell fleet which has the ems..i get confused on the part where it asks for hex numbers, base numbers, i have found the spot to do this in my scanner,but it asks me to select a,b,c channel... i programmed on bank d the freq numbers, so i dunno little confused...
3.also just went all out and got a discone antenna (outdoor) with a 45 foot mast any idea of just a rough idea of range, i am mostly interested in avaition...Thier is a AFB nearby about 40 miles from where i am (selffridge air force base)...just wondering if this was a good choice of antenna???
I appreciate for any respones and perhaps tips...Also great forum and site lots of reading to do...once again thanks
