Colorado forum Roll Call

I need a programmer and everything else

Hello everyone ~ I live in the southern part of Colo. Spgs (Security/Widefield area). Old analog hand held and base scanners have been collecting dust. One of them even has a crystal for each frequency. Anyway, i hope someone in this group will help me. I have a Pro 2096. All I listen to are the frequencies that Radio Shack plugged in for me. I didn't realize that it could be programmed so that I would no longer have to suffer through listening to bus drivers, road crews, and utility crews. After the public safety organizations abandoned the 153.00 and 453.00 frequency range, I hadn't listened to a scanner until 2 or 3 years ago. So... please, is there someone who will program my Pro 2096 (and show me how)? I have no cable. I don't have the software. I'm confused about win96 and pro96com. I know n-o-t-h-i-n-g. Reading this forum leaves me in the dark. Talk groups? DTRS?? APCO 25??? I've read everything and understand NOTHING. If there is anyone out there willing to program the list of police/fire/ems that I would like to listen to, please contact me. I'm desperate! please email me (because I can't always check the forum) at rushqueen [at] gmail.com
Thank you VERY much in advance.

My name is Daryl Hageman. I have more scanners, that I will admit to having, because if my wife really knew the truth, I am certain the divorce papers would be in the mail, tomorrow. My primary scanners are the PSR-500 (Lakewood, Arvada and Denver) and a PRO-96, which travels with me everywhere I go. I work for NICE Systems and specialize in Public Safety recording, specifically P25 for both Motorola and Harris (MA/COM EDACS).

New to Denver area-Pro 162

I'm Brad I'm moving from Illinois. I have a Radioshack Pro-162 and program it manually. I will live in Arapahoe County in Aurora/Centiennel area. I want to listen to EMS mainly but PD/FD as well. Also would like to listen in on all surrounding EMS/PD/FD. I'm a paramedic and like to keep up with whats going on when not at work. Any info on how the area works would be great help. I have found info about Aurora City talk group but know nothing about EDACS. Also I assume that Colorado State police is similar to Illinois state police Starcom project 25. Barely learned my current area now moving and have to relearn it all again thanks for the help.

Been a member for a few months but I am just recently listenning to my scanners and reading on here more. Retiring from the Air Force soon. Involved with law enforcement and love to listen to whats going on around me. I live in Fountain (just south of Colorado Springs) and mainly listen to El Paso county and Colorado Springs police. I also listen to fire when I know something is going on. Anyone else actively listen down here in El Paso county?

Hello All my name is Travis, Live in the longmont area for about 6 months. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations about gear. In NY my Pro97 did the trick but from what I read that is no longer the case if I want to listen to DTRS. Im interested in Weld and Boulder co's. Any help would be great!

Thanks!

The Pro 97 would be fine for Boulder and Weld county stuff sense its analog, but not the digital DTRS (Digital Trunk Radio System) state wide system. :wink:
