Thanks,

I was thinking it was ProVoice?

Silent key.
When I left Lincoln a year ago, everything was able to be monitored except a few sensitive channels. Take a look at the link below. Channels with a "D" in the Mode column are ProVoice and cannot be monitored by a scanner. Everything else was analog.

The EDACS system includes all Lincoln City services and Lancaster County sheriff. Rural fire uses analog conventional frequencies on the link below.

Happy scanning.

Thanks for the information.
Until late 2005 I was a doctoral student at UNL (graduated with my PhD in December 2005, finally!) and I always took summer classes on campus. Of course, I always took my trusty scanners with me! As of two years ago at least, it was still an unencrypted EDACS system. What I really liked about monitoring Lancaster county and Lincoln, though, was that they don't use 10-codes! It's all plain English. This is not true of the Nebraska State Patrol, though (42.46 Mhz base, 42.30 cars). Funny about the NSP - I sure didn't hear a whole lot of traffic. I would have expected a lot more radio traffic especially considering it is a state capital. I monitor the Arkansas State Police in Little Rock and their dispatchers keep the airwaves buzzing constantly!
Yeah I'm sure the rubber duck on that scanner just loves the low band. In order to hear NSP you need a real antenna. They do talk quite a bit. Half of why people think they are always quite is the fact they do not have a very efficient setup to listen to them.
There is a lot of stuff to listen to in Lincoln including the EDACS system. Portions of UNL are conventional and also on the LTR.
Lincoln PD loves to talk. When they created "Expanded Dispatch" they weren't kidding around with it.

LPD and LSO do love to talk. That's why I don't listen to them anymore...if it ever fits in the budget again, I'll probably put them on my "secondary" scanner with the volume turned down low. I'm a firefighter, so I'd rather listen to fire stuff anyway...LFR talks a lot, also...sometimes too much. The Rural Conventional 800 channels have a decent amount of traffic as well. I'm not sure about the rest of the country, but we (much to my chagrin) talk on the radios like we're talking to a bunch of truckers....oh well.
Where I live (about 40th and Yankee Hill Road), I've had great success monitoring Saline County (Crete) and even Butler County with a 246T and no base antenna.
You can pick a lot of NSP up on their repeater freqs (can't remember them off the top of my head). You'll hear a little on 42.46 (Base Broadcasting), but not a lot on the 42.30 (Car to Base) unless you are right on top of them. Troopers use 42.04 (Air) as car to car a lot...anytime I hear something on 42.04 or 42.30, I slow down a little, because they are close.
