I am a police officer. My department only issues us portable radios. We do not have mobiles. I've been using a BC780XLT in my car for years so that when I'm off-duty I don't have to have my portable on and can save its batteries. Recently my department just switched to digital. So I'm looking to pull down the BC780XLT and toss it on ebay.
I'm want to replace it with a digital capable model. Obviously a digital model that will track our Motorola system. I'm assuming the digital models will allow me to alpha-tag the digital talkgroups?
I'm posting in the Uniden forum, because that's what I have and know it to be a good scanner, but I would consider something else. I don't care about wideband scanning or anything like that. I'm principally interested in scanning our system and maybe a few VHF simplex/conventional frequencies.
I also used the ARC780 software on my laptop, because the scanner is mounted at the rear end of the console in my car. So a computer control interface is a plus too. That will save me having to relocate any of my equipment.
Thanks in advance.
