Why is a scanner not a subscriber radio ?

 

[GM]

A scanner is set for receive mode only and can not transmit on any system in any way, shape, or fashion. It does not have any transmit capabilities built into it.

A subscriber radio is a two-way radio that is authorized by a system administrator to transmit on the system by having the individual radio registered to the system controller. Normally this is done with a valid registered radio ID number, and in most cases now, an electronic radio serial ID number to match the assigned radio ID number authorized by the system administrator of the system it's going to transmit on. A subscriber radio is a radio that is built to a specification of what the system entails (frequency band, features, suite of standards, etc.) and is far more superior in most cases to a scanner. However, as of the past few years, certain scanners have become almost as good or just as good as a two-way radio. These include the Uniden SDS series scanners and the Unication G1-G5 series pagers.

A scanners front end is too broad to make an assessment of system performance. A subscriber radio is tuned to the band of frequencies the system uses, which leads to true assessment of a system.

Thanks for the info GM

It should be assumed we are talking about scanners here and not "subscriber radios" unless otherwise indicated. SMH

The point some are trying to make is that you can't compare the performance of the two, and so those who are complaining about "dead spots" are not using the proper tools to make that evaluation/determination.

I can attest to the fact that living in Southern Ocean County there is an issue with Simulcast Distortion on the Burlington/Ocean Site. The Warren Grove & Bass River towers are the exact same distance from me. I have not been able to receive anything in regards to Toll Roads, Troop A or Troop C. However, I do receive on the Hackensack Meridian group which is a bit odd. Tommorow I plan on taking a ride out to Lucille's for breakfast so I should be able to lock on to the Warren Grove Tower while in the area. SDS100 may be in the future budget.
