Uniden BC246T

I recently got this scanner for use in the Iosco County Michigan area. I have been told that it is not the right radio for this area, but I have no idea. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this thing working? Thanks.

hi michigan public safety requires a p25 digital scanner. . a pro 96 is a excellent choice. or a 396t is also a good scanner

So basically you're saying that this scanner won't work for me?

From looking at the database http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&ctid=1261 it looks like your county has move Law Enforcement and Fire dispatch over to the state digital system so the BD246T isn't going to work for you for those agencies.

sorry as n2mdk said no it will not. there are many members in the classified section selling off there pro-96 radio's so you should be able to buy one at a great price. .

cmu - it depends on what you want to monitor... Tell us and we can answer. According to the database here only Law Enforcement requires digital, fire and public services and everything else can be received by your scanner.

I work for a newspaper and I pretty much want to monitor all the radio traffic with the public agencies in the county. We have scanners at work which seem to do that, so they must be p-25 or whatever. I bought the scanner as a convience thing for me, so I could leave one at home and have the other at work.
