Thanks for all the suggestions that I did try before I set both my old scanner and the new one to try searching for AST for a few hour sessions before the new trunking unit found ALEA North using two different frequencies to communicate with troops E and F cars and it also identified a trooper CZ car to car yesterday.
At the same time the digital trunking and all range scanner found the traffic, the analog scanner only found white noise , which sort of leaves me thinking the reason ALEA disappeared from the analog scanner might be RF "smog" from the many services upgrading to digital added in with all the normal consumer device RF signal saturation.
During the search process, I had P25 digital IDs being found from Tenn, Miss , GA and every county of Alabama down to Jefferson that I had to lock out after it got the ALEA VHF, so apparently the digital gets through the radiation fog.
My old scanner isn't totally dead yet. Now that it scanner service of over a decade is over, I plan to use it as my weather alert radio until it dies as my old weather radio did last year.
Since my NOAA station never has gotten its SAME service working, even when I had a weather radio, most time I turned it off after 5 or 6 siren alerts outside my area, so the old $90 Pro 82 can still give me service for a few more years.
