I want the ability to use a ham radio primarily as a P25 scanner. Has anyone found a way with a dual band ham radio? I'm not limited to a certain brand. I'm just curious if it's possible.
I recently came across this Kenwood TM-D710G and a similar ICOM P25 radio. Would I be able to program these to receive police and fire P25 trunked frequencies for RX only? If not receiving trunked, would I at least be able to receive aircraft on AM? It appears aircraft bands are including on frequency specs.
I would love to have one device mounted in my car instead of 1 ham and 1 scanner.
