Does anyone have any ARC246T files for the Baltimore Area?? I am going down there next week and would like to save on some typing if at all possible.[ I thought they went digital, so imagine my surprise when I looked them up and found out they are indeed analog!!! Thank you in adavance!!

County Yes, City No

Baltimore county is analog, Baltimore City is Digital with a capital D. Completely separate entities.

Some Baltimore City channels are rebroadcast on the old VHF freqs, as listed in Radiorefence...

Not only is the city digital, so is Harford County (which you will pass through). Anne Arundel is still mostly analog (there are a couple of talkgroups that are digital/encrypted) and you will be able to hear that system if you are downtown near the Harbor or at Camden Yards. Concentrate on the Northern District tgs. Cecil county - the first one you enter when you cross the border into Maryland - is ProVoice and unmonitorable.

Delaware is all digital - 'nuff said on that.

Md.State Police can be a challenge to hear - most of their stuff is on 39 Mhz and high band, and you will need a decent mobile antenna to hear it, with the exception of the 151.04 repeater which is shared with State Highway. Don't be surprised if the audio on the SHA repeater sucks - it's consistently overmodulated - I suspect the deviation is set too high. Concentrate on the NorthEast, BelAir, Perryville and Golden Ring barracks, as well as the portable 155.73 frequency.

How do I know all this? I have family in Bergenfield and Hawthorne that I visit several times a year.

And who said anything about typing? Become a premium member and download from the databases.

ARC 246 files -baltimore

I am looking for these files as well. - For baltimore or surrounding area
Also looking for any type of Baltimore or MD area scanner club. I live in the baltimore area and am new to this. Have a BC246T scanner. This scanner is really hard to figure out.
Thanks, Bruce
