Digital question

[Wil6]

Wondering if someone could help me? I’m gonna be getting a digital radio. It is supposed to be compatible with the motorbro now here’s the question: Will I be able to program the channels for the power companies like Duke

Duke is using OpenSky 4800 baud so NO you won't, EnergyUnited EMC is using a DMR Motorola Connect Plus (TRBO) trunked system so unless it is a trunking radio NO you won't, but you maybe able to monitor some of the frequencies.

Anything with OpenSky will not work on a scanner .Here what the sds 100 does SDS100 - The RadioReference Wiki

Let us know which scanner you get. I have Davidson Co files for several scanners to get you in business.

Actually, the OP doesn't say if it is a scanner, Chinese DMR, or Motorola radio, so we really don't know for sure what he is using.

He would be better off getting a scanner to be able to monitor numerous system types, unless he works for the power company, has authorization to use, and needs transmit capability. Otherwise, he is taking a big chance transmitting on their frequencies without knowing how to program. A lot of the Chinese radios are not type accepted and are illegal to use for transmit in the USA. The licensee would not allow the use of an illegal radio anyway.

As said, WE DO NOT KNOW.
