Please help with my programming!!!

[WiseGuy10100]

Hello Everyone,
I would really like some help with my BF-F9V2+. I try to listen to my local LEO agency but whenever there is a transmission, i only hear a really loud white noise sound... i'm assuming its from the repeater but i have no idea. I have no issue picking up EMS traffic in the 130 mhz range but for some reason i cant get my LEO traffic in the 460 mhz range... Can someone please help me with this??? i have no idea what it could be... Any thoughts?

Is the LE digital? P25, EDACS? Encrypted?

K5BBC's question could be the answer. What agency(s), location? That may help us help you.

There you have it. P25. The BF-F9V2 is not a P25 radio.

So what exactly is P25?

So what exactly is P25?

A digital modulation scheme. Aimed specifically at creating a standard for public safety.

Which IS just a loud buzz saw sound on your poor Boefang.

And is there any antenna or anything that would fix this?

No. You would a scanner designed to receive P25 digital radio to listen to that agency. Your radio can only receive analog radio transmissions.

Nope. You're trying to fly to Jupiter in a rowboat monitoring P25 with that radio. Your only option is a scanner or radio specifically designed to receive and decode P25 digital transmissions.
