Can someone please help me understand this.
I dont understand what DEC means or HEX and where those numbers fit in to my Pro-97 scanner. The only numbers that made sense to me were the ones in red and black at the top. I pushed program on my scanner, put the frequency in, then hit Ent to take it off program. Nothing but silence. Can anyone please explain to me step by step so I can listen to Arlington County frequencies. I just got my scanner today and I just want to hear someone, something, anything!! Im so lonely (jk lol) ...anyways thanks for the help

*edit I heard someone finally! on the primary 859.43750 freq. It was exciting! one guy said "downtown..(?someting i couldnt make out)...police" and then the other guy said "what?" yep thats about it so far but am really interested in the Police freq. can anybody tell me what Hex and Dec means? What do I press into my scanner thanks guys!
*i heard someone else i think it was an officer. he said "Traffic 11, I'll be ending my tour" and then the lady dispatcher "allright 11-32" (anybody knows what this means?)
THIS is so much fun!
