I'm trying to help out a friend who just bought a new scanner "Uniden HomePatrol-2 Phase-2 Digital Scanner with Pre-Programmed Database"

This scanner has all of the frequencies in the database but we don't get Malden PD. I'm going to look at it myself tomorrow, just figured I see if someone could point me in the proper direction.

Were getting the Malden Fire however were not able to hear the Police.

I'm told they went to a digital frequency

Fire = 482.01250 - This works

Police = 470.76250 - Is this the correct

Thanks Bill

Malden was testing P25 on 470.76250 as recently as October but I don't know if they made a permanent switch
I would program the frequency twice, once as analog with the existing analog PL of 131.8 and the second time as I would guess you have it from the database as digital with a NAC of 263.

They have switched to full time P25, as part of the transition radios were programmed with Analog and Digital. Since the system is mixed mode;ocassionally you will hear full conversation in analog, because someone is on the wrong channel. Its all seamless. I put the system in
