Hello everyone:
I enjoy monitoring the HF spectrum and I have done it both with conventional radios and now with SDR ones. I think I have above average technical skills but not much time to use them.
I can mount a wide band discone on the roof and I am thinking of getting a base scanner to monitor Madison Co KY and neighboring ones. From what I read on the database, I'd need a digital scanner (The county uses Project 25 Phase 1 trunking system).
Am I wrong on this? Please let me know. There are in-the-open channels but not many.
I can see me learning how to program a BCD996XT but, in the interest of saving time and getting more enjoyment more quickly, would I get served better by a Home Patrol 1 ?
Any, less expensive, suggestions (Yes, used is a possibility).
Thank a lot!
Marco
