Radio scanning in Berlin, Germany

[pearlrivers]

Hello there, I currently live in the UK but will be moving to Berlin, Germany.
I've been scanning as a hobby for a couple of years now, mainly working with Uniden 125 & Whistler TRX2.
I read that my TRX2 wouldn't be compatible in Germany...
Does anyone have any advice on this?
Also how would I find frequencies in Berlin? There doesn't seem to be a german alternative to Radio Reference UK?
Any leads would be greatly appreciated - even just stores where I might be able to buy compatible equipment!!
Many thanks

All German emergency services are all on a system called the BOS system. It is UHF TETRA and fully encrypted. Beyond that, you'll find things like amateur radio, PMR, Marine and Air. Though I'm not at all familiar with the laws regarding scanning.

I'm happy with amateur radio, PMR, Marine and Air - do you know how I would find these frequency allocations so I can programme the scanner?

o you know how I would find these frequency allocations

Have you ever heard of SEARCH on probably every scanner ever made !
if a govt such as germany doesn't want their citizens to know the fx then it wont be published hence why the manufactures put SEARCH
do you speak or understand German ? then chances are you wouldn't understand what is being said
I would try that first
