Is it correct that if you program a scanner to be control channel only, you would not hear any simplex traffic on an 800 trunked system? (The National Fire Protection Association standard on fire department radios says radios must be simplex capable and I know simplex is used occasionally). (Granted you'd have to be fairly close to the location of the simplex transmission to hear it.)
So if your program all the frequencies for a trunked system just so you could catch the simplex transmission, what would happen if you did not uncheck the "control channel only" box?
If P-25 systems are control channel only, then how would you go about hearing a simplex conversation?
Thanks!
