Hi, all.
I see that California Highway Patrol in Sacramento has implemented digital extenders. I have a non-digital Uniden BCT15 and was wondering if I can nonetheless monitor the digital "noise" on those 700 MHz frequencies.
Why do this? If I assign an alert tone to those channels (and mute the audio), I've recreated the scanner's "Beartracker" functionality, but for Apco 25 extenders. On an analog scanner! Seemed like a fun thing to try.
I thought this would work except that, when programming the frequencies into my BCT15, the frequency's last decimal place is dropped. For example, frequency 769.16875 is stored as 769.1687. I don't know if this is a problem or not. Doesn't look good.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
