silent channle

[azduststorm]

HI everyone
I am trying to pick up Florence AZ police scanner frequencies! I have been monitoring for a hour hear and there. sometimes there is static, most of the time its silent. All the other codes I got from here works any suggestions on what's happening here?

What scanner are you using? The database says Florence uses P25, so it will require a P25 scanner.

I'm using a yaesu ft250 and a unidine bearcat triple trunk. I know those are not project 25. I don't understand why that would be a prject 25. I pick up the prisons and everything else. The data base says its not a project 25 are you sure your looking at Florence az? Cause no one else including the sheriff is project 25

ugh.. why on earth would they be project 25, when everyone else around them is not. I can listen to sheriff just fine as well as the prisons. I hate these new project 25 stuff.

Looks like they may also be in the process of transitioning to P25 - Phase 2.

It's a good thing an RTL SDR dongle only costs $15 - $25.

 

[azduststorm]

haha I have absolutely no clue on what you are talking about

Now I'M curious, what isRTL SDR?

 

[slicerwizard]

They're miniature radio receivers that in conjunction with software on your PC let you listen to conventional and trunked systems, both analog and non-encrypted digital voice.

Supported digital modes include D-Star and Fusion (used on the ham bands), NDXN (iDAS and NEXEDGE variants, used for commercial traffic and some PDs), DMR (used for ham, many commercial comms and some PDs), P25 (some ham use, lots of PS use), ProVoice, TETRA, LTR, MPT-1327, Passport, and so on.

Other uses include pager decoding, flight tracking, ship plotting, train tracking, decoding ham data modes (Baudot, etc.), slow scan TV, and dozens or hundreds of other things.


The good inexpensive dongles:
