I have had a bearcat scanner for years. Recently the newport police went to a digital system state wide . I was going toby a digital scanner but was wondering where i could get the frequencies for the new sysytem I am not technical but believe i could set the freq if it is possible on a digital sccanner. There are several on the market and i have down loaded the manuals in a pdf file. I do not find a way to set the requencies. Is there a list which breaks down the newport police talk group. there are tables with DEC 1300 to 1308 and Hex 514 to 51c how does this convert to freq. in the mode area if all are E meaning encrypted I believe I will never be able to receive them. Any help would be apprediated
