mpbird,
Welcome to the world of scanner listening. Digital is different , but there are scanners that work pretty good in getting digital and conventional analog frequencies still in use.
The database software program for my Uniden BCD436HP still shows Jackson County as primarily conventional but most agencies are going or already have gone digital.
When I bought my scanner as my county started transitioning to digital, when I told the customer contact at Scanner Master , the company I ordered from which agencies I wanted to be able to listen to, they programmed the digital and analog frequencies I needed at their store and it worked for me out the box.
Also following the instructions that came with the scanner, I was able to save the programming to the programming software and do a zip code search and add some new digital talk group I.D.s and conventional analog frequencies while deleting the ones my scanner found that I didn't want.
Although the scanner I bought to replace my old one has large capability reading the scanner board here ,I learned while it would work, it doesn't lock out like the old scanners but avoids as it scans over any avoids so I keep mine to only the digitals in the 20 mile radius of me and the old analog repeater frequencies ALEA still use.
I was a bit shocked at the cost of my scanner at first but I have gotten about 5 years of use out of it so far and it serves me well to warn me if there are high speed chases or field fires in my area.
A couple years ago I had my scanner with me in my vehicle and my dogs in their run kennel when I heard my VFD being called to a field fire heading towards my property, so I turned around and came in from the parallel path back home to avoid the responding fire trucks and as many of the volunteers in their POVs to get my dogs and go to my parents place out of range of the smoke and fire threat as the VFD set some of their trucks and vehicles up in the field behind my house.
Hope this information is of help to you but you will find good information on the scanner boards here. on RR.
