Actually, I believe you mean Digital (P25) and Analog frequencies in the same list.
Yes, both are conventional frequencies and are programmed as such. You can place them in the same scan list, or divide them up, whichever you prefer.

Thanks, just wondered as I read somewhere that you can not. Thanks as I thought you could.
On the older "bank" scanners, there were problems for some of the models if you tried to program a trunked system in the same bank with conventional frequencies. There were ways to do that on some models, but it had to be done correctly.
On the OOS scanners, such as yours, it's not an issue, since the scanlist can handle any valid object (analog or digital Conventional objects, or talkgroup ID's linked to a trundled system).
What you may have been thinking of is the Uniden scanners using the DMA system. Those scanners have quick keys, but not banks like the older scanners. When programming a system, you either made it a conventional system, with a mix of frequencies, or created a trunked system for the modes the scanner can handle. In those systems, you cannot mix conventional frequencies in a trunked system. Nor can a conventional system also include talkgroup id's.
Thank you for the info.

I have never owned a scanner that you could put a trunked system and conventional frequencies into the same bank, and then operated the trunked system in trunking mode. If you listened to that system just by scanning voice channels (and not trunking) then you could do it.
If you are simply putting single frequency P25 stuff in a bank with regular stuff there is no problem.
The issue is, if you are going to be running in trunking mode, all the scanner listens to is the control channel of the trunking systems and then directs radio to a voice channel. It does not scan other stuff in the bank once it hits the control channel.
In the newer radios, there are no banks. Just systems. Adding conventional frequencies to a trunking system, digital or analog will be ignored if you are going to be using the trunking mode. If you leave out control channels and just scan voice channels you can do it.
Newer radios allow you to set up a conventional type of system, where it will just scan frequencies, digital or otherwise.
You can scan these systems in addition to trunking systems at the same time.
