From what I can tell, Delaware County I doesn't seem to have anything there that the 780 won't receive. It is a fairly old scanner, but it should work if there are no plans to reband or go digital. It does not have alpha tags, so you are going to be memorizing a whole lot of frequencies to associate with what agency is talking, but many of us did that for years.I am very new and am looking to purchase a BC780XLT.

It would help greatly if you would go into your User CP (found in the blue toolbar under the thread title) then click on Edit Your Details in the left frame. Put in your county/state. This will help narrow down your responses to those folks that are in your general neck of the woods
Sorry, but that's just not so...
I have an inside contact with a "high level" administrator, and have had this speciifc conversation before. Delco has absolutely no plans of either going digital system wide and definitely no trunking. That being said, several PD freqs are P-25, and there may be a few added, but OVERALL it will remain analog. And as for Joe's book--get it. It contains tons of info not found elsewhere; Joe also updates the book as necessary.
