Scanners Required for Fleetnet?

[hastingsmedic]

Alright, I thought I had this figured out... I thought I was going to have to buy a $900 digital trunk tracker with APCO25 card to listen to MOH and OPP when they switch over to fleetnet in the Peterborough Area. But recently I've read posts which seem to say that isn't the case... as long as I have a trunk tracker.

Can anyone enlighten me? Do I have to turf my pro-2046?

To fully listen to the MOH and OPP, you will need a digital scanner capable of trunktracking in the vhf band.

If you just have an analog trunktracker then you will be limited to listening to the MOH on Fleetnet. You will still be able to listen to some OPP comunications though if you are close enough to a car with it's vehicular repeater turned on or a BEAT repeater.
