The bad news is your scanner is not digital and Grand Prairie police and fire is digital. http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=37

If you type in the city or county you want frequency's for there are web sites out there. When you type in the city be sure to ask for the frequency's. Like Dallas emerengy frequency's

While your BC245 will not receive Grand Prairie, there are a number of other possibilities for listening, in addition to Dallas PD & Fire. There's still quite a large number of conventional frequency usage in Dallas County. Tarrant, Johnson, & Ellis Counties also have a number of users that are not trunked. As for trunked radio systems, Grand Prairie, Mansfield, and a couple of small federal systems are the only ones in this area that are digital, as is Tx DPS (not on a trunked system, but digital on conventional frequencies). You could still put that 245 to use with multiple conventional frequencies, and neighboring trunked systems such as Arlington, Irving, Fort Worth, and the NE Tarrant County systems. Other systems within your scanners capability include the Carrollton and Mesquite trunked radio systems.
