Hi all,
I have been researching scanners and types listed here.https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Scanner_decision.
----I would like to monitor Eastside, Seattle (King County) and Snohomish City/County.Police, Sherriffs, State Patrol, Fire, I havent had much luck in determining what systems they are on and coverage. If there might be a link so that I can further research? I realize the move to digital but im not sure if everyone has crossed over to the darkside yet?
----I prefer a handheld scanner but not sure how many channels can be tracked at a time? And if all digital capable scanners can also scan analog? Im confused over the digital communication types and what is in use.
Just want to make sure i purchase a scanner that I wont outgrow and will provide me with plenty of options. Like recording.
Is there any such thing as radio audio to text? Are any of the dispatched calls RDS Radio text with ALL the info for the call? The cops get the same calls sent to thier terminals. It would be nice to have a real time text database based off of dispatched/RDS but im not familiar enough with how its being applied in King County and surrounding areas.
