Good afternoon,
I am very new to the radio world (started a few weeks ago with a gift) and this forum in general. I ask you all to forgive me for not being 100% engrained and if I missed something while searching the forum for answers. None of the searches were fruitful but did lead me to more questions. I am currently only holding a GMRS license but studying to join the HAM realm.
Now to the meat of the question. I was gifted an FTM-400XD set up for Christmas. I was wanting to know if it is able to access the SAFE-T systems to listen / scan. I'm able to punch into the system the frequencies itself but that doesn't yield anything (IE: 851.400). Again, I just started down my radio journey a few weeks ago. I have the rest of the frequencies from Miami County area punched in already.
So, is this radio able to access the SAFE-T systems as a listener? Do I need a different antenna to be able to listen to these frequencies?
Thank you all for your help and I look forward to becoming a part of this community.
