Hi Everyone,
I am getting back into scanning after a 6-7 year break. I have 996XT scanners and live in Arizona Maricopa County (Phoenix Metro). Trying to put together my equipment investment plan (equipment, scanning software, etc.). I know Maricopa Cty is P25 phase 2. I believe 996XT does not support P25 P2. So my question is: if I program all the Maricopa Cty frequencies into the scanner then there is no chance the scanner will monitor the frequencies - i.e confirming I have a useless scanner other than monitoring analog frequencies and/or other local P25 phase 1 systems.
I am thinking I may have to go with a SDS200 but wanted to confirm if my 996XT can be used in any extensive capacity.
thanks - Bill
