I retired my "996's" when I got an SDS200 and a G5+... the simulcast is tough to monitor while driving with a "996".
I primarily monitor the Metro, but my service work oftentimes me to Rochester, Duluth, St Cloud and everywhere in between.
Most of the ARMER Law Enforcement is encrypted now, MN State Patol is not encrypted... yet anyway.
So, what's left to monitor is Public Works, EMS, Fire, Railroad and a few of the state parks.
What area or county are you looking to listen in on?
