Hi. I just got a Pro 97 Scanner. I live in New Jersey but living in DC for school. I am new to scanners so I am tryiing to learn as much as I can about them. I plugged in all the frequencies for DC fire but I do not hear anything. The only way I was able to hear something was when I plugged in the 154 frequency which was the dispatch. Unfortunatley I could not hear fireground conversations etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

DC Fire uses a digital system. The Pro-97 can't listen to digital systems, unfortunately. You'll need a Pro-96/2096 or Uniden 396/996.

Hey Dave. Thanks for your post. Do you know if they simulcast the fireground on the analog or no? Once again. Thanks for your assistance.
