unable to pick up police/fire in my area

[verdeana]

I am unable to pick up police/fire departments they recently changed to 800 frequency. I have the Uniden BC 780XLHLT Trunked Track Three. Can anyone tell me how to be able to hear these channels?

Looks like they are here: Indiana Project Hoosier SAFE-T Trunking System, Statewide, Multi-State - Scanner Frequencies

Your scanner will not get this new system due to rebanding. However, there are a couple of frequencies that appear to be simulcast on VHF. Check the listings here: Vigo County You will need a digital scanner to get the 800 rebanded system. It is a mixed mode with some analog and some digital.

As others have said, you will have to purchase a digital scanner, with your choices being:
Handheld----Base model
Pro-96----------Pro2096
Pro-106--------Pro197
Pro-18

GRE-500------GRE-600
GRE/PSR-800

BC296----------BC796
BC396T--------BC996T
BC396XT------BC996XT
HOMEPATROL-1

These scanners can go as low as $150 for a used Pro-96, and up to roughly $600 for a homepatrol w/extra features, but most people are happy with a 396xt or pro-106 (used price $325 and $225ish respectively - new price $445-$299)
