I just bought a Whistler WS1040 but I still can't hear the police I am new to this where can I go for a step by step program process?
Looking at your county (Logan) in the
database, it appears that most of the public safety agencies in the county are using DMR. I see one county talkgroup, 'County Emergency Services', on
AWIN, the statewide P25 (digital) system. If there are more, they have not been submitted to the database.
For Rural Fire, EMS, and the Sheriff's Office, it appears that are mainly using DMR, which is a form of digital transmissions that your scanner cannot decode. However, some of the DMR frequencies are also listed as analog, so at times, they may be scannable with the WS1040 if not using DMR.
See the Wiki
article for more on the DMR mode, as well as what units can decode it. Also see
