Sorry if this question has already been answerd, but I've been through a million threads and posts trying to figure out a few basic questions. While I did learn a bit about it, I still didn't find an answer. Will any of the latest scanners on the market today be capable of receiving or decoding the Project 25 phase II signals whether they be digital or analog? I already know encryption is out of the equation. Are they capable of having a firmware update to allow this, or will I have to buy a new scanner later on down the road to listen to them? Or, will there ever be a scanner capable of receiving this technology?
I am looking into buying the GRE PSR-500 and would like to know if I should hold off for a while. Most of my county is conventional analog on VHF and UHF anyways, but I am trying to listen to neighboring counties which are currently using phase 1. And I would also like to be prepared if my city or county jumps on one of these systems. Please be gentle I'm fairly new to all this. I currently have an RS Pro-97 and it works great but slowly some of the other cities are becoming digital which is why I'm looking into buying a new scanner. If there is a specific radio anyone can recommend other than the GRE that would be helpful too. I like the Pro-97 as it was made by GRE but find the $50 price difference between the PSR-500 and the Pro-106 quite attractive ;-)
