Other than to say "Yes, they are different" I suggest providing a little more information such as what kind of scanner, where you are located, etc. if you want more detailed assistance. There are plenty of helpful folks here.
I heard that the switch to digital will be June 2021. Analog will be discontinued. I have the Uniden 346XT and 396XT. I am looking for any suggestions on a replacement handheld scanner will work with the new digital system? Thank you.
San Francisco’s system doesn’t go too far outside of the city. I am sure the P25 digital system is the same way. I know on the old analog system I could pick it up a little bit at my friends apartment in Foster City since she was on the 2nd floor. That was with a PSR-600 with the stock antenna. From your other post you are using a 436HP and I am guessing the stock antenna. I would upgrade to the Remtronix REM-842S or REM-810S.they will be much better than the stock antenna.
