Hi all. I hope this is not the wrong forum to post this in, but I am trying to do most of my research today since I have a busy week coming up... I am new to the forums, and have been looking to purchase a police scanner for quite some time (handheld) but have had many questions which I couldn't find answers to, so I haven't bought one yet. I am located in Hunterdon County, more specifically Readington NJ. I need to be able to pick up the Readington Police Department on whatever scanner I purchase, yet when I was beginning my second attempt at research thismorning I've found these results:
Readington, Township of
Frequency Tone Description Mode Tag
155.85000 Police Private FM
151.92500 245 DPL Whitehouse Rescue Squad Private FM
Because the police have a private channel, will I not be able to ever listen to them?
I can see how this may seem like a region specific question, but since I'm only asking about their system in general, and nothing specific I thought this could be posted here..
A friend recommended to me purchasing a Radio Shack Pro 91 but this does not receive digital transmissions -- is the system I listed above a digital system?
I hope I've provided enough info to be helpful in assisting you to answer my question.
Thank you so much and have a nice easter
