SDS200 - Pro-Voice

[Gumball928]

I just got my SDS200, spend most of the time monitoring local police, fire, EMS and utilities . .
Is it worth adding the Pro-Voice and NXDN options ??

Umm...where are you from? Don't waste your money on ProVoice if you have no intention on monitoring these 20 systems (the number online may be less now)

There are no ProVoice systems in Oregon. Since you don't want to disclose where in NW Oregon you're from, consult your county's RRDB page to see what's been documented as far as DMR & NXDN

Judging by past posts I'd say Cowlitz County, Washington area.

There are very few ProVoice systems left. They are at end of life and changing to other types of systems, mostly P25. What is your city, county, and state so we can check the database to see what you need. There are a lot of DMR systems and fewer NXDN systems. It all depends upon what is in your area and what you want to monitor.

If I were to choose one of the three I'd definitely go DMR if I were in the OP's local. Only seeing one documented NXDN system in Cowlitz County. A few documented DMR systems in Cowlitz, WA & Columbia, OR
