Maybe if you can, ask the person with a digital scaner to program in P.A. frequencies in as conventional frequencies and see if he picks anything up that way when a digital transmission comes up.
This will do nothing for you .. this is AEGIS, and not Apco 25 as the scanner would be able to pick up.
The infomation above in this post is all the information you need to get started. If it is encrypted .. then sell the radio and move on.
This is what you should do ..
Purchase radio .. MRK etc to pick up AEGIS. (Check out the MACOM forum here to see the feature code you need for AEGIS .. I dont remember it). I would look on Ebay as there are lots of these older radios around. Make sure the radio has the feature code needed for AEGIS.
Get the information needed on the system ... via RR Database or Etrunker til you know all the info needed to program the system. Frequencies etc ..
Send the radio and 25$ to the vendor on Ebay (Price Industries) to get it programmed for receive only ... I would do this fast as I personally am very surprised the police havent ended this practice.
If it works .. great. If the system is encrypted .. all you need to do is sell the radio on Ebay etc. (Etrunker wont tell you if it is encrypted and I dont have AEGIS here but I dont think you can tell from listening to the frequency conventionally to see if it is or not) You are out 25$ for the programming ....
Done .. the only thing, they make a change you need to send the radio back to be reprogrammed.
As far as more posts about this .... I personally am getting tired of the posts on the same thing over and over again. We on this forum have told you many times what you need to do .. listen what has been written already and proceed.
