Hello, I'm new to modern scanning stuff and have some questions. I had my HAM tech license a long time ago and am going to get it again soon, but am mainly interested in setting up a scanning system for police/fire/etc. The biggest question I have is the digital trunking. I have a bunch of nice, but older, inherited equipment and I am wondering if any of it can be used to do scanning of police digital trunking frequencies.
Here's what I have:
ICOM IC-R100 Scanner
Kenwood TM-732A Transceiver
And my old handheld, a Yeasu FT-50R.
From the database, my local PD runs on 155.49000mhz with a Law-Tac system, which I believe utilizes the digital trunking.
If none of what I have would work for this, what's the least expensive way to get into a decent scanner that will receive the digital trunking signals? Thanks for any help!
