Recently moved to Versailles(its pronounced differently then I say it I found out) from the Chicago area, firefighter most of the time. Now I see to listen Lexington I'm gonna have to upgrade. I only have the basic knowledge of scanners etc. Look forward to talking to everyone, chances are I'll have plenty of questions for ya!

Hello from Mt. Sterling.
I just moved back here from Florida after 21yrs and am trying to get back into the whole scanning scene again.
I have an old BC 170 and a BC 246T.
I'm looking to get a Pro-2006 already modified.

I would say yes that digital scanners work well with ksp radio. However you must have good antenna system. cause digital radio has to have decent reception . you will either hear it as reqular talk or you want hear nothing or a very annoying bunch noise.

greetings from Fayette Co
Hi, Gang -
I'm a newbie here and looking forward to learning whats new in the radio world these days. Years ago, I had a little Regency 10-channel handheld scanner (my first), a BC510XLT and a couple of desktop model scanners. Over the years, I've also used Motorola, Kenwood, Yaesu and a couple of other portables, with various successes/failures, but they were fun, too. I am no longer involved directly in LE (I was a reserve officer for a couple of years) but still enjoy working in the industry. Today, I am a sales rep for a Louisville-based company selling fleet equipment and live in Lexington.
So, my first self-initiated assignment is to learn more about trunking and the upgrades various agencies have made to their systems since I last monitored them. My interests are Lex Metro, Lex Fire, Fayette Sheriff, KSP, KVE, and maybe some of the surrounding counties, so it sounds like I'll probably need a new fancy "digital" scanner. (I also liked to listen to ATC and RR when I could find them.) I’d also like to learn more about “scanner feeds” via websites and how MDTs are being used these days. Finally, I might consider getting my amateur license; I studied for it years ago, but never took the test!
I am looking forward to being around RR, so be gentle while I get up to speed!
