Is there any RS scanners that follow Narrow band EDACS? I had a Pro-95 awhile back, and it didn't follow the system. Just wondering if they have changed.

No, there are no RS scanners that will track the 4800 Baud Narrow EDACS systems. These are used mostly on UHF and 900 MHz.

The Uniden BC780, BC785, BC996, BC250, BC296, BC15 and BR330 all work with Narrow Band EDACS systems.

Also the BC246T.

Thanks. I switched to Uniden once I found out that none of their radios follow narrow band EDACS. I bought the Pro-95 to follow my town which uses a narrow band system. Anyway, the sales people at RS were clueless about any off this. It took an e-mail to RS to get the answer. I wonder why RS and presumably GRE haven't added this to their radios.

Narrow band EDACS and I-Calls (so far) have not been included on any of the GRE Trunk Scanning models only the Uniden TrunkTracker models from BC780XLT on.
