Hi this is my first post to the forum. I live in Hickory County MO. The old analog HCSO 155.715 was active until a few weeks ago. Now I only hear an occasional data burst(?) reminds me of a control channel noise. I know MOSWIN has a site in Wheatland which is in Hickory CO but i hear no HCSO traffic there.Does anyone have any information on Hickory County? I did hear what sounded like electricians or maybe radio techs last week talking on a Fire Dept tower saying that hickory co was going digital. I have a HP2 and a 536HP but have had no luck.I should add I am a novice to digital scanning so am sure I can learn a lot from you folks.Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

This license https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?fccCallsign=WQCB895 has emission designators for DMR. Maybe that was the digital noise you heard.
Yes, Hickory County Sheriff is now MotoTRBO DMR. CMH ambulance in Hickory will be MotoTRBO DMR before the end of the year, too.

I'm not sure, but I really doubt you can decode DMR without getting something specific for DMR.

I'm not familiar with those scanners. You will need to read the manual or the documentation on Mark's Scanners to see if they receive DMR.

AND you can get on the air with it!
Some programming learning curve, but lots of help on the internets!
A big thank you for all the help. I actually have dual residence. I live half the week up here in OP,KS and the other half in Hickory County,MO. I have downloaded and installed the DMR upgrade for the BCD536HP and it seems to work. There is a heck of a learning curve for a guy who has been out of the hobby several years now. I will update when I get back down to Hickory on Wednesday. Thanks again for all the kind advice and information. Steve
