I used to listen to scanner years ago. well today i picked up a new one at radio shack a pro197. the guy behind the counter only knew that to pick up the hampton police i needed a digital scanner. after hours of trying to manually program it my self i went in and bought the programing cable and software that came with it yada yada yada. i live in hampton va. i loaded the freqs via the software very nice! everything works well except that the hampton police sound like gibberish everything else comes in fine. i live less than a mile from the tower. the giberish comes in on all five bars so i know im picking up transmission.
whats listed here on radio reference is
type
is project 25 phase I (fdma)
system voice
apco-25 common air interface exclusive
am i doing something wrong?
is the radio incapable of picking up the hampton pd?
i have allready upgraded the firmware to version 2.0.
someone help me please.
