Is there a commercial radio that will scan all 97 of the railroad channels?
I have been using Motorola CDM and M1225 radius radios for some time now, and I love the quality of reception over a regular scanner, but they are restricted to 16 or 24 channels for scanning.
Is there a radio out there with similar performance to a CDM that can scan all 97? A bonus would be one that doesn't require special software to program. I have a good receive site and I'd like to be able to scan all the channels just for fun to see what I can receive.
I don't care if the scan rate is slow. And yes I know about NXDN, I don't feel that will happen on the road channels any time soon, and that is a debate for other threads.
Thanks!
