But, To clear things up. I was 13 at the time with zero knowledge at all on radios and got into CTRS and other radio servers and was told to go to radio reference and there would possibly be someone willing to help and give me a radio. Since then I've boughten many XTS5000's and am Currently using them as scanners for LEO/Fire/ ETC with zero problems. Sorry for all the folks didnt reply too and i'm not a troll. I can see how I would look like one but I understand a lot more now. Thank you guys for the help!

Depending on the vintage/age of the radio, the compatible computer may be more challenging than the software or the cables.

if you could tell us what system, it would also help.
or do you know that you CAN listen to them.

You obviously know next to nothing about commercial radios and how the world works. Nobody is going to just give you a radio because you're begging for one. At least, not one that works. Since you're unable to provide any relevant information about the system you want to listen to, you're also preventing people from making an appropriate scanner recommendation.

Also, I'm pretty sure you were banned from CTRS for reasons similar to this thread.

No I just want one to listen to my local agency

From your avatar it appears you have a bunch of radios.

And from your avatar it appears you're a plastic soldier(?).

So now you have so many radios this thread should be a moot point, maybe it is time to move on.

I'll give him credit for holding the radio in a pose that suggests he's actually using it. That's different from just lining up your radios on a table so you can admire them.

On a sidenote, I was like 14 when I migrated from ham/CB to commercial radios. A lot different then though.
I was more into hardware, most radios had chrytal control. I was well into commercial when radio and embedded control were married.
DSP was theories at a few universities.
For the OP though, a LOT has changed, Radio CPUs are now mostly32 bit multi core, On board hardware DSP, several link layer digital modes,
Trunking, encryption, all fairly new.
It took me all these years, reading studying, trying to stay on top of fast paced technology and computers.
Like a VW trying to catch a supersonic jet.

I’m am a plastic soldier and on a mission. I can’t tell you what that mission is, just when it’s complete.

Agreed. Stick a fork in this one, it's been beat to death.
