Has anybody heard of plans to include the 380-400 mhz range for trunking scanners? The feds are going to that range. Plans are for wide area trunking systems encompassing large geographical regions. The DC area contract has been awarded to M/A COMM.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I think the Pro-96 will be able to do it in table mode, although since there are no systems around here currently to be able to check for sure, it's only a theory at this point.
Edit: I guess that would depend on the band plan as well. If the channel spacing is incorrect for the Pro96, then I guess it wouldn't work either.
I can't speak to the Unidens, since I don't own any of them.

Several contracts are being sought for radio service in the 380-400 Mhz range at different locations in the USA and overseas.
The majority of foreign TETRA systems use this exact frequency range. The federal government is planning on moving to this area for future wide-area trunking systems. Likewise, a similar nationwide trunking system is currently undergoing beta testing in Washington, which is part of the JWIN system, but will operate in the VHF-High band area.
The JWIN TRS, will be fully Project 25 compliant, and use the 9600 baud, ASTRO 6.3 platform. The system roll-out should begin in early 2005 and hopefully be completed by the end of the year, or sooner if funding is approved for it's completion. However, it's unknown at this time how this system will interface with currently existing wide-area public safety networked systems at the state level.
