Looking for recommendations of scanners that will work with the county’s new network. I have been around radios for years but not knowledgeable on trunked systems. Looking for my 64 year old father. So would want the easiest to operate.
Thank you for any input

It's a simulcast system,
I disagree. If you look at the site license for Claypool, there are 2 separate sites, one at Peru in Miami County and the other at Claypool in Kosciusko County. Each location is using different frequencies, so it is not simulcast.

Idk what you're looking at, BUT the new K-county P25 system is a 3-site simulcast system, similar to 3 other counties here in Indiana and Michigan that had the same type of 3-site system installed by the same company.

Kosciusko County in the Database only shows SAFE-T being in use. It does not even mention the new system. I clicked on the Claypool site of the SAFE-T system and looked at site license WQAC431. I see now that I should have looked at the trunked systems for Kosciusko County. Thanks for the correction!

Will the BCD996P2 work? And thank you for the input so far.
It may, or may not. It's really a flip of a coin, and you'll likely have to do some fiddling with your settings and antenna system. Watch this video.

It’s a three site 700 MHz P25 Phase II system. So far no encryption. So SDS100 for portable or SDS200 for base would be best otherwise horsing around with attenuation and or yagi pointed at one site only.

And yes I forgot to mention the obvious in my post but others have already mentioned it is a Simulcast system.

No recommendations but I applaud you for posting your first post in an appropriate forum. It may sound silly, but I really appreciate it. (y)
First of all Kevin C., I have been a member for several years. I was locked out of an email account that my membership was previously associated with. So I started another account. And after your comment I will never pay for this subscription service again as long as you are associated with it. I got the info that I needed right now and no thanks to you. My profile says Newbie, not Idiot. I know how to use a forum. I don’t know who you think are. I don’t know how much smarter than everyone else you think you are. But F**k off with your demeaning comments. Go ahead and kick me off for this comment. It will be my last subscription after this anyways. Applaud me for my forum know how now.

I can’t win. I compliment someone for doing something and get this. You have no idea how many post in a completely inappropriate forum only to make us move it.

I’m sorry you feel this way, but I’m going to keep on complimenting people.

Have a good evening.
