Does anyone in the Richmond area use one? Likely will be ordering this week, I understand these are a little better than the Uniden SDS series for monitoring trunked systems. Has anyone programmed a P25 phase II system?
Correct, which is a bummer.Is it incompatible due it being a lagacyP16 system?

But they are far superior scanning quality than any other scanner. Once you get the hang of how to program them, they are awesome.You may already be aware of this, but just to make sure, you would only be able to monitor one trunked system at a time. If you wanted to listen to two systems at once, having one programmed as trunked and another as conventional might work, but I can't say for sure. I just know that one trunking system at a time is a limitation of the Unication receivers, and why I passed on buying one for my area.
From everything I've heard about them, they are great quality receiver. But I live on the border of two local jurisdictions with their own trunk systems, plus the STARS system that overlaps both of them. If I'm going to be out and about with a handheld, I don't want to choose to monitor only one of those. Also wouldn't want to pay for three of them to do the work of one scanner.But they are far superior scanning quality than any other scanner.

just have to know how to program it accordingly. I'd do them in one Zone and then be able to flip between positions in that zoneFrom everything I've heard about them, they are great quality receiver.
