from what I can determine, the freq's are established,but the talk groups are not established yet.
Would it be best and wait to all depts are up and running before buying any scanner?
bb back in the Day when Sedgwick, Co's current system was running and New Trunk scanners were emerging you could listen but as for entering Alpha Tags it didn't happen as the technology wasn't Quite there so following the system could give ya a Headache really Quick,, Well spring forward o couple years,, what was difficult you could tag as you do you now but as Trunk systems changed so did the scanner even more..
But what hasn't changed is figuring out when you see that number who it belongs too, the best way I learned was with time and if some one Locally would have a List of Tags or maybe a new tag list I would get them from them one Good source that had them Was Howard's Electronics I bought my CB's and one of my Scanners from Jerry and he knew some of the sheriff officers and PD officers.. or at least that is what he told me and how he acquired some of Tags.. It was hard to see Jerry close as he Installed allot of CB's in his Time and he had a Good deal of stuff that he sold out of that Little shop...
But back to asking your Question there are some Good sources out there locally and on here that in next Few months as we go Along well all get a better grip on who and what the ID's belong to.. As was mentioned the 396 and the 996 can pick up the system fine My two scanners are doing it when I can pick up the signal, As for setting up my scanners I did it manually I went in on my 396's menu found were to set a New system I set it with 4 Frequencies 2 of them are main Control channels with 2 alternates..
You can find the Frequencies I interred in my scanners in the in the Kansas Forums or I can add them here.. Bear
